Critical Acclaim
“Lindstrom brings instant star quality to the role of Brünnhilde. Her voice clear but rich, and with plenty of character, even in the high register. Her vibrato is wide and slow, and ever-present, so there is never any sense of gradually warming long notes—it’s right there from the start.”
Classical CD Reviews
“The singers Stefan Vinke and Lise Lindstrom as Siegfried and Brünnhilde are at the height of the possibilities of today’s Wagnerian singing.”
