Gramophone (Parsifal, Walküre)
“Her Kundry, in the most crucial scene of the opera, is lulling, sensuous, the menace more sinister because it is not revealed in any hardness of tone or phrasing … It is an immensely subtle performance, a proper reconciliation of great vocal gifts with an intelligent understanding of the most difficult moment of the most difficult of all operas. […] a showpiece for Miss Nilsson's great powers”


Gramophone (Tristan und Isolde)
“Even allowing for the fact that these were demonstration records when they first appeared, the sound on this CD is astonishing in its lifelike presence and its warmth. As nobody has surpassed Knappertsbusch to this day as a Wagner conductor in the inevitable sweep and grandeur of his direction […] What glorious singing Nilsson gives us; full throated in the great passage, “O blinde Augen!”, which she ends with an electrifying top B natural, producing another (no mere glancing at the note) on "lacht" just before her thrilling singing of the curse.”
