Kirsten Flagstad was one of the 20th century's greatest Wagnerian sopranos, her powerful voice and commanding presence becoming synonymous with the Norse goddess roles that define Wagner's Ring Cycle. This 1972 Richmond recording captures her in scenes from Götterdämmerung, the final opera of the Ring, performing at a stage in her career when her voice still possessed considerable authority and emotional depth. The selections showcase Wagner's most dramatic writing—climactic moments of betrayal, fate, and mythological grandeur. Flagstad's interpretation brings both vocal power and tragic understanding to Brünnhilde's final scenes. The orchestral accompaniment supports her with appropriate weight and drama. This is essential listening for Wagner enthusiasts and a rare opportunity to hear one of the great voices of the century in the roles she defined. A historical document of genuine artistic significance.
