She herself had been brought up with them and even included some in the program of one of her first professional engagements, at an Oslo jail in 1913. She was told that one prisoner due for release had asked to stay on till Easter so that he could hear ‘that girl’ again.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cycle ‘Haugtussa’ (The Mountain Maid, 1895) was almost entirely unknown to listeners outside Scandinavia till Flagstad issued her first recording of it in 1940. Even then it failed to achieve the popularity its melodies and poignancy should have eared for it and only since the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth has it won due recognition. Yet Flagstad had a great love for it and put heart and soul into the songs.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis second volume of ‘The Flagstad Recitals’ focuses on Grieg as well as other Scandinavian composers, offering songs with both piano as well as orchestral accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/REVIEWS_CS_WORLD_7169b53a-dbe6-4c81-930b-be7f7575534e_480x480.png?v=1597936904\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e[Grieg Songs] ‘Listening to Mme Flagstad’s recital makes one regret that she did not record more of her great countryman.
