Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- Wolfgang Windgassen's Siegfried strikes a good mix of insolence and sweetness.
- Hans Hotter fairs well as the Wanderer, although the top of the voice does seem a little dried out at times.
- In her brief appearance at the end of Act III, Astrid Varnay demonstrates her ability to spin a legato line that would have been the envy of the finest bel canto specialist.
- Gerhard Stolze's over-the-top Mime chews the scenery without completely leeching the humanity (or "dwarfanity") out of the part.
Cons:
- None to mention.
