Unbelievable footage! Flagstad, Melchior, Branzell and Tibgett together! ("Suomen laulu" however, is not the finnish national anthem, but that matters little.)
Y'know, I'm not sure. The original footage of the quartet had audio that seemed a tad too high. It was in E-sharp minor ahaha instead of the typical E minor (and compared to the broadcast recording). I tried to adjust it a bit but didn't mess with the Dido clip.
@@trrill The Dido clip is about a semitone too high (so roughly 4-5% too fast), but it is great that you have posted these nonetheless! Somehow in better quality than in the Norwegian documentary that has been posted here previously.
@@Tenortalker thanks for getting back to me. it sounds like her and looks like her. there is no other film of her singing that i know of . this is wonderful . thanks again.

La Flagstad at her finest hour. What a treasure. Thanks!
What a treasure. Thank you!
In the last week I ave heard, from entirely different sources, two stories of Flagstad's generosity and kindness.

Thank you! And of course the details matter. I've corrected the wording. I was just excited to get this published :)
@@trrill Many thanks!
Wow!!
DIVINE SINGERS!!! 🤗🙌🙏🎶🕊️
Is that Maggie Teyte is singing Belinda in the Purcell excerpt?
Excellent posting. thanks. However Karin Branzell was Swedish, not Dutch.
Thank you! I've corrected. I was up too early to publish this and got in a rush.
Great. Do you know if these are played at the correct tapespeed?

is that maggie teyte with flagstad in dido and aeneas??
Sounds/looks like it to me! The first time I've seen her singing on video, actually...
Yes I think it is Maggie Teyte. She actually shared the role of Belinda with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf in this Mermaid production I believe.
@@getbizet824 absolutely right!! i love teyte and i have never seen any film of her singing.
