Her triumphant debut in New York on 2 February 1935 is one of the legends of opera. Giulio Gatti-Casazza, the longstanding General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera said, “I have given America two great gifts — Caruso and Flagstad.” Called "the voice of the century", she ranks among the greatest singers of the 20th century. Desmond Shawe-Taylor wrote of her in the New Grove Dictionary of Opera: "No one within living memory surpassed her in sheer beauty and consistency of line and tone." /// Label: EMI Classics – 5099945534621 Series: Icon Format: 5 x CD, Mono, Box Set, Compilation Country: Europe Released: Feb 2010 Genre: Classical Style: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern /// Tracklist: Sacred Songs And Arias 1-1 Fronde Tenere...
