That really is a miracle of a voice. It’s got EVERYTHING I hope for in such a voice: beautiful timbre, even scale, effortless emission, charm, dignity, great posture........on and on. It’s truly marvellous. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers. Michael.
I did two speeches on her and they were on TH-cam earlier this year but I couldn't find any live video recordings of her singing opera and I wish I had known about this. Thank you so much
Isaac Nguyen how exactly do you get that? Did you hear Flagstad live? Better yet. Did you record it with decent equipment? Or just maybe you should proffer an opinion that you come up with instead of parroting that idiotic TH-cam channel that trashes 90% of the greats...
Of course. It is not possible to be young and sleek, and also sing one of Wagner's heroines. You have to have experience, depth of voice, and bulk to supply vocal power. She fits the role.
She might be 'matronly', but she is not obese. (So many in recent years have been. Even morbidly so.) Voice and musicianship should come first. No one today can match this singing.
She's over 50 here, so yes, not a youngster. Vocally, no more matronly than any other singer of this vocal category -- what, do you think a lyrical, youthful-sounding La Boheme-type voice can sing this repertoire?
@@searchers such a terrible idea to think being young makes you a light voice,most of the truely good dramatic sopranos all started in their early 20s singing as dramatic....her voice is strong not old ,old sounding is woofy....
Gorgeous singer. One of the most beautiful voices on records produced in the USA during the 20th century..

Ok. Can we talk about how amazing her voice was?!?
The howl was terrible. She howls, not sings.
There's more to Wagner and Brünnhilde than just high notes . Brava Traubel !
While this is true, singing in tune, on the pitches written is an extremely important cornerstone of great singing, and can't simply be discounted.
50-51 years old. That's a rock-solid technique.
There is no technology there - only a howl of power.
Brava. Traubel!! Brava!!! Brava!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grandiosa!!

John Roberts Here’s another one:

My Grandma was this type of Opera singer and sang in Chicago around this time. I wonder if they knew each other.
I wonder how great her voice is. Any recording?
What was her name :)
@@LaDivinaLover Her maiden name was, Joyce Holloway.
@@mariofilippeschi4855 She won competitions, and trained at Illinois Wesleyan. Someone in my family has a cassette recording of a recording.
@@lilythatlittlecat WOW! Can you please upload it? I'm so interested 😃
Fantastic,thank you !
For a person far from opera it is fantastic, but for someone knowledgeable in academic singing it is a howl with forceful pressure.
Bravo!
Thank you, THANK YOU!
it's still on btw th-cam.com/video/CZxXMkcNjwE/w-d-xo.html
She and Nilson at the same stage would be fantastic.
it would be tornado 😆
Add flagstadd
Varnay and she were in fact fantastic at the same stage. Varnay better - voice and acting skills. - by the way.
@@aliena2979 Varnay had inferior technique, middle voice and low voice compared to Traubel.
It's a whole step lower but I'll allow it..LOLOLOLOLOLOL
This was transposed down, no?
doGreatartistsgrowontrees? Yes.
trrill A half or full step? I suspect it's a full step.
A full step.
trrill 👍🏻
yes
To be fair she’s much past her prime here.
Поёт на тон ниже.
Better than Flagstad.
Are you serious?

oh dear... Is tramposed and even so the high notes are not on pitch.

Flagstad had trouble with her high notes.
Matronly...

Well she’s singing the music not singing to get your dick right?
