Description:
Karl Ridderbusch returns to the green hill in one of his signature roles—Hans Sachs. Few baritones have matched his ability to bring warmth and lyrical beauty to this part without ever sounding fatigued. His performance here confirms his place among the finest interpreters of the role.
Marita Napier is a welcome presence as Eva, her voice carrying more weight than is typical for the role, yet still infused with freshness and vitality. Jean Cox contributes a lyrically appealing Walther, his tone marked by sweetness and control.
