On Myto 256; 3 CD's; This is a splendid performance, with everyone in fine voice.  Paul Jackson writes, "An aura of distinction envelopes the entire performance, and nowhere more so than in Flagstad's portrayal. Her vocalism is incredibly fresh, and more surprisingly, so is her characterization of Elisabeth. For once she has shed even the suggestion of the heroic in both tone and manner....Some alchemy has allowed silver to penetrate the characteristic bronze metal of her instrument, and even at the softest dynamic the voice is perfectly poised....In top vocal form throughout the afternoon, [Melchior] never retreats before the notorious tessitura of the role; at the opera's end, his Rome Narrative is a tour de force of technical mastery...."
