Jutta Vulpius, Elisabeth Schärtel, Maria Graf, Gustav Neidlinger, Astrid Varnay, Maria von Ilosvay, Wolfgang Windgassen, Georgine von Milinkovic, Mina Bolotine, Hermann Uhde, Josef Greindl, Gré Brouwenstijn Bayreuth Festival Chorus & Orchestra, Joseph Keilberth Recorded live at the 1955 Bayreuth Festival OK, so I know that
January’s CD of the Month
was also an opera and I do
try to vary these things, but
what is one to do when
faced with a set that reduces
you to helpless, awestruck
admiration (and, I admit it,
tears) by its close? This is a
worthy conclusion to a
magnificent cycle.
As before, most of the
cast, familiar from other
recordings, surpass
themselves here.
Windgassen may be more
vocally secure for Solti but
nowhere else is he so tender,
so moving as here. Josef
Greindl is a far more
saturnine, charismatic
Hagen here than elsewhere.
But it is Astrid Varnay who
is the great revelation. - Gramophone Magazine BBC Music Magazine
