Wagner: Das Rheingold
Frantz, Höngen, Sattler, Weber, Treptow; Furtwängler
Milano, 1950
$9.95
Description:
Ferdinand Frantz delivers a commanding Wotan in this performance of Das Rheingold, combining vocal security with imposing dramatic authority. Every phrase is shaped with intention, and his presence anchors the entire performance.
Elisabeth Höngen is a richly characterized Fricka, her voice voluptuous and expressive, bringing warmth and complexity to the role. Ludwig Weber offers a memorable Fasolt, managing to sound both unmistakably Teutonic and deeply affecting—his final scene lingers in the memory for its surprising emotional weight.
