Their efforts are aided in large part by a spectacular cast. \u003cb\u003eBirgit Nilsson\u003c\/b\u003e sings all three of the Brünnhildes with shocking ease. It is truly extraordinary how a voice can have both the thrust and the beauty that she possessed.

Her frequent partner \u003cb\u003eWolfgang Windgassen\u003c\/b\u003e joins her as Siegfried. Although Windgassen may not have had the same power that Nilsson possessed, he navigated his way through these operas intelligently, never pushing his voice beyond its means or sacrificing the beauty and youthful sheen of his tone. \u003cb\u003eGwyneth Jones\u003c\/b\u003e joins us as Sieglinde as well as the Third Norn and Gutrune. If memories of some of her later years may have marred your impression of this great soprano, I would quickly refer you to this performance. Her voice is flawless and she seems perfectly at home in the Wagnerian mold. \u003cb\u003eDavid Ward\u003c\/b\u003e delivers one of the most beautifully sung Wotans I have come across. \u003cb\u003eFerdinand Leitner\u003c\/b\u003e leads a brisk performance and manages to extract some fine playing from the orchestra, the odd missed cue notwithstanding.
