Pros:

  • In spite a of being only 35 years old, Astrid Varnay had already had a lot of experience with Brünnhilde, having made her debut in the role at the age of 23. The result is a performance that combines freshness of tone with interpretive sophistication the likes of which you would not expect from an artist in their thirties.
  • Josef Greindl is pure evil as Hagen.
  • It's fun hearing Regina Resnik in the short, but impactful, role of the Third Norn.

Cons:

  • None to mention.
