These recordings were made on 9 and 11 May 1952 and document the latter part of Kirsten Flagstad’s career. They were
made a few weeks before her 57th birthday, thus at a time when most sopranos will have been forced to change over to
the so-called character fach. The Norwegian soprano however, even at this late stage, was still in almost full command of her
incomparably rich voice, even after a demanding career spanning over three decades.
The present recordings of two concerts given at the Berlin Titania-Palast with the Orchestra of the Municipal Opera are
particularly noteworthy: on the one hand, the Wagner songs sound fresher and more present than in the recording made
four years later under Hans Knappertsbusch; on the other, the Berlin live-recording of the Strauss songs is technically far
superior to the recording made in London. By the way, in May 1950 Kirsten Flagstad had given the first performance of the
“Four Last Songs” by Richard Strauss – at the request of the composer.
A tribute to her unique status was also the multitude of her concert engagements: During the course of her career, she
sang more than eighty parts in around 2100 performances and also gave approximately 250 concerts with orchestra and
600 recitals.
