Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg
Greindl, Lorengar, Beirer, Grobe, Kreppel; Hollreiser
Berlin, 1963
$18.95
Description:
Josef Greindl, best known for his menacing Wagnerian bass roles, reveals a more nuanced side in this performance as Hans Sachs. Though unmistakably a bass, he handles the demanding tessitura of the role with surprising agility and warmth. Pilar Lorengar is a radiant Eva, her sweet tone tempered with just enough Wagnerian edge to carry over the orchestra. Hans Beirer brings a robust, burnished tenor to Walther, excelling in both lyrical and heroic moments. While the sound lacks some depth, the vocal and dramatic quality of the performance more than compensates, offering a rewarding experience for admirers of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.
