Wagner: Lohengrin
Kónya, Grümmer, Gorr, Blanc, Wächter, Crass; von Matačić
Bayreuth, 1959
$14.95
Description:
Sándor Kónya and Elisabeth Grümmer make a sublime pairing as Lohengrin and Elsa. Their Mozartean voices blend effortlessly in the lyrical passages, while also rising to meet the more dramatic challenges of Wagner's score with conviction and power. Rita Gorr impresses as Ortrud, one of the few mezzos in this role who never sounds strained at the outer limits of her range. As King Heinrich, Franz Crass offers a warm, reassuring bass that provides welcome contrast amid the opera’s more turbulent moments.
