Awards and reviews
2010 edition
An incredibly generous compilation of classic recordings from 1957...There is a pleasing lack of wobble, and real penetration into the depth and character of the music...Nilsson shows that she is able to ride the orchestra without her voice deteriorating...Excellent balanced, warm stereo sound (except for one of the Flying Dutchman excerpts, which is mono)
