Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • The much underrated conducted André Cluytens brings elegance and style to Wagner's complicated counterpoint.
  • Elisabeth Grümmer is ravishing as Eva.
  • Otto Wiener offers a human-scale approach to Hans Sachs' many conversational passages without shortchanging the dramatic moments.
  • Eberhard Wächter is Fritz Kothner, Hans Hotter is Pogner and Gerhard Stolze is a puckish David.

Cons:

  • None to mention
