$16.95
Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- Set Svanholm's lyric, sweet-voiced Siegfried is a marvel.
- Kirsten Flagstad sings "Ewig war ich" with exquisite beauty, and fearlessly soars over the massive orchestra in the final moments of the opera.
Cons:
- In any other context Josef Herrmann's Wanderer would be perfectly satisfactory, but after Ferdinand Frantz' sterling portrayal in the first two operas, he comes across a bit disappointing.
BONUS:
Act III, scene ii of Siegfried. March 24, 1950. Svanholm & Flagstad
In Mono
