...quite at ease. "Listener" I use advisedly, for Mr. Fuller does indeed like to talk. His talk may be circuitous, verbose and disorganized--it is also seldom anything less than brilliant. He speaks with an obvious respect for those listening, and imports an aura of friendliness, if not of vibrant warmth. Having a rather inexpressive face, he relies heavily on gesticulation--vast and frequent sweeps of the arm. He has a large head, set on broad shoulders and a stocky frame. His clothes fit loosely...
...Rosenkavalier she was by turns amorous, petulant, rueful, forgiving, giving vibrant conviction to her understanding of the Marschallin as "the typical sensuous woman."

BIRGIT NILSSON, 43, is the big Wagnerian soprano the Met started searching for as soon as Kirsten Flagstad retired. Nilsson displayed her vibrant, flashing voice for the first time at the Met two years ago in a performance of Tristan und Isolde. She has triumphed in most of the Wagnerian repertory, impressing not only with her ringing power but with a precision of phrasing and general musicianship that is not always found in Wagnerian opera. Best of all, at 5 ft. 8 in. and 150 Ibs., Swedish Farm Girl Nilsson is capable of lending an air of physical credibility...
