Wagner: Lohengrin
Windgassen, Nilsson, Varnay, Uhde, Fischer-Dieskau, Adam; Jochum
Bayreuth, 1954
$14.95
Description:
This performance of Lohengrin features a young Birgit Nilsson in a rare appearance as Elsa. She sings the role with both delicacy and opulence, revealing a lyrical finesse not always associated with her later dramatic repertoire. Astrid Varnay is a formidable Ortrud, her singing brimming with intensity and dark theatrical energy.
Theo Adam makes a powerful impression as König Heinrich, nearly stealing the spotlight despite the role’s limited stage time. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau brings his hallmark intelligence and virile baritone to the role of the Herald, enriching the ensemble with his nuanced delivery.
