What a special voice she has, I´m impressed every time I hear a recording of her voice. I love the dark colour to it while still remaining bright in sound, its amazing that a human can produce a sound like this.

WOW. The timbre of her voice is simply gorgeous. What technique! To have such warmth and such natural darkness at the same time.

Flagstad has a much creamier, mellower, warmer tone that isn't as bright as Otter's.Both are good because they're so different.

Thank you so much for this wonderful collection of singers presenting renditions of Dido's lament. I loved Flagstad almost as much as von Otter. Different and both beautiful.

Vel, jeg synes Birgit er stor. De er to store men forskjellige stemmer, selv om de sang mye godt det samme Wagner-repertoiaret, så synes jeg ikke man kan sammenligne dem på den måten. Jeg elsker Birgit i Salome. Det er en video av et konsertopptak her inne hvor man kan høre henne i slutten på operaen, og stemmen hennes bare skyter blå ild hele veien.

I agree. Try Victoria de los Angeles.

For me the ultimate singer in this role is the incredible Victoria de los Angeles. That voice is so pure, so sublime, and so intimate.

This Beautiful melancholic "aria" should be dedicated to the many "lifes" lost in this "Insane Asylum" called Britain, which is run by the "lunatics" who have escaped from the lunatic asylums over the years.!!!!!
