Flagstad is more "feminine" - sounding than Nilsson and Furtwangler's interpretation is far more imaginative and intense than Bohm's, IMHO. Sometimes slower, sometimes faster, but always riveting. The Philharmonia was arguably at its peak, with Dennis Brain leading the horn section, I believe.
Very good, late mono.
