Customer Reviews of Wagner: Die Walküre, Act 3 / Solti, Flagstad
Much more than a test This cracking Act III of "Die Walkure" is usually dismissed as a "rehearsal" prior to the big recording of "The Ring" by Sir Georg and the Wiener Philharmoniker. This is too bad because as an "individual" performance, this is as good as it gets. We have the unique opportunity of hearing the legendary Kirsten Flagstad in one of her signature roles in full, glorious stereo sound. Nitpickers usually complain about her being 62 at the time of the recording and being way past her prime. Well I challenge anybody, bar on the occasional high note (probably twice in the whole Act), to assert that this is a voice past her prime. 40 year-old would-be Wagnerian sopranos would die to sing the part like this. So let us be silent and listen to goddess Kirsten in pure awe, please. This set is also very welcome for the still very committed and enchanting Sieglinde of Marianne Schech, 10 years after her first Sieglinde with Solti in Munich (Act I published by ORFEO, I also reviewed it). Otto Edelmann is a very professional Wotan although he is not as inspired as a Hotter of a London in the part. The eight Walkuren make for a beautiful ensemble and feature two surprise "guest-stars", Grace Hoffman and Claire Watson - who would both become famous singers. <
>The Vienna Philharmonic plays majestically well and Solti races through the score with the enthusiasm of a twenty-year old. But those who believe that Solti is just all noise and rhythm, beware! The way he and his orchestra accompany Flagstad in her duet with Wotan is extremely poetic and beautiful. Listen how Vienna and Flagstad hold this beautiful phrase together "ihm innig vertraut" (towards the end of track 9). <
>But as always with Solti, you will find ample dynamics, brasses raging, winds mourning the pain of Brunnhilde and her father, strings full of colors, and a final coda that is simply one of the very best in the discography. A definite Act III only comparable in quality to the Karajan from Bayreuth in 1951 (but in mono sound, EMI). <

Excelente versión
Estupendo disco con una versión del III acto de La Walkyria que considero de referencia. Para mí muy bien todos: Solti, la Filarmónica de Viena y, por supuesto, Kirsten Flagstad (probablemente lo mejor). Sé que todos no estarán de acuerdo conmigo pero a mí me encanta esta manera de entender a Wagner: más fina orquestalmente, quizá menos apabullante, y dejando que los cantantes se oigan como es debido; me gusta "este" Solti.
Beautiful voice
Kirsten Flagstad not only has a enormous voice, her voice is very beautiful. She is amazing down here. She can hold her breath like no one else can!! There's one passage here where she holds and holds her breath and that is so thrilling. I compared it with Birgit Nilsson's passage on the Solti set. Birgit Nilsson only held the note for a short time. The effect is very different. Flagstad makes it very thrilling. I also recommend Act 1 Walkure unde Knappertbusch 1957 with Decca in superb Decca stereo. Flagstad sings Sieglinde in that recording. Although "matronly", she sings absolutely gorgeously and it's worth owning just to hear her beautiful voice.
