This excerpt has remarkable sound. Nilsson made her Bayreuth debut in these performances. Varnay had done it before with Eleanor Steber, maybe even better. But here she is so delicate in her turns.. What a wonderful era in Bayreuth... Nilsson is gigantic and Varnay tops her.. If you can find the whole performance buy it.. Windgassen also sings magnificently....also Uhde. "Here at your feet" dripping sarcasm but desperate also...
Schreihälse. Seitdem meinen die meisten, bei Wagner müsse man so singen. Armer Wagner. Auch eine kräftige Forte-Stimme kann elastisch rund vor allem schön sein. Sorry...

I like the voice of Astrid Varnay more. It is powerful, large, mistic....
The voice of Astrid Varnay is bigger than the voice of Nilsson, but Birgit had the great top.
