CRITIC REVIEW:
“Singing of this style and technique is not heard in the dramatic category today….[Flagstad] is the mistress of the portamento, a vocal effect rarely heard (and, I would add, hardly understood) any more….Flagstad rides this texture with utter command of the legato line….She has a particular bent for the high, arching phrase, especially for gleaming, fully-voiced high notes….”
