I have l istened agai n to the records of t h e Cl os i ng Scene of Gotterdammerung, which I made with Kirsten Flagstad and the Philharmonia Orchestra, and I am more than ever delighted with the remarkable artistic achievement of His Master's Voice technicians . I had not even hoped that the superhuman splendour of Flagstad ' s voice, and the full sonority of the Wagnerian orchestral sound , could be so finely balanced and so faithfully reproduced .
Will you please convey to Flagstad , to the Philharmon i a
Or che s t ra , a n d t o y our t echnician s , my warmest congratulations.
