Pros:
- Paul Schöffler’s portrayal of Hans Sachs is a triumph of nuance and vocal artistry. His sweet-toned baritone strikes an impressive balance, presenting a character who is both larger-than-life and profoundly human.
- Irmgard Seefried's Eva shimmers with youthful energy and heartfelt sincerity.
- Set Svanholm’s robust tenor, while occasionally lacking in refinement, possesses a strength and ease that makes even Wagner’s most demanding passages feel natural. Though his interpretation might not be the subtlest, Svanholm’s vocal power lends undeniable authority to his performance.
Cons:
- While the orchestral sound suffers from a lack of clarity, the vocal performances still manage to cut through.
