Legendary Isoldes like Kirsten Flagstad and incomparable Tristans like Lauritz Melchior still crowd the public imagination, haunting present-day sopranos and tenors a good half-century after these paragons' retirements. A few of the singers (Olivero, Rise Stevens) offer pithy commentaries, but it is the visual and sonic appeal of such megastars as Franco Corelli, Ezio Pinza, Fritz Wunderlich, Victoria de los Angeles, Lauritz Melchior, Conchita Supervia, and Lawrence Tibbett that leave you breathless. |
