Customer Reviews of Opera Scenes & Orchestral Songs
Birgit Nilsson's equal Astrid Varnay was Birgit Nilsson's equal. She didn't have Nilsson's phenomenal top notes but she had Nilsson's huge voice and she had greater warmth than Nilsson. Bravo DG for this reissue!!
One of the greatest treasures of the classical catalogue
The hugely underrated and hugely underrecorded great dramatic soprano Astrid Varnay in one of her very few commercial recordings. Here we hear Varnay at her peak as Brunnhilde and Isolde in superb recorded sound. It's so sad that her full Isolde, Brunnhilde, Elektra and Salome were not recorded commercially. Thankfully, we have radio recordings of her full Isolde, Brunnhilde, Salome and Elektra. In the excerpts on these recordings, she is better recorded than in all her other recordings. If you love opera and Birgit Nilsson, you must have this set.
An incredible bargain
Astrid Varnay, the reigning Brunnhilde and Isolde at Bayreuth from 1951 to the mid 1960s(together with Martha Modl and Birgit Nilsson). Wolfgang Windgassen, in far far fresher voice than he would be for Solti's Ring and Bohm's Ring and Tristan. Superb sound, superb singing of a kind nonexistent today. At this incredible bargain price, this set is a steal!! You MUST get it.
