3.0 out of 5 stars A little too late, May 27, 2011

This review is from: Songs by Richard Strauss and Jean Sibelius (Audio CD)

There are indeed some good things here. The pianist: excellent. The sound: excellent. The songs: excellent. Birgit Nilsson: Acceptable, interesting. But she is too often out of pitch. This recording was made a little too late in her illustrious career. There is a wonderful disc with Scandinavian songs on Decca, with Nilsson in top form. Strongly recommended!
