Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • Wolfgang Windgassen makes one of his first appearances as Siegfried, a role that he would go on to own for the next two decades.
  • The Siegfried Wanderer shows a softer side of Wotan, and Hans Hotter excels in finding the rich ambiguity of a god who still has pugilistic impulses, but whose priorities have shifted from world-domination to tending to his family.

Cons:

  • Windgassen gets hopelessly lost during the forging scene.
