Listen to a Sample:
In the years following the Bayreuth Festival's post-WWII revival, the stage was set for a new generation of Wagnerian stars, including Martha Mödl, Wolfgang Windgassen, and Josef Greindl. Though Mödl’s vocal prime was brief, that brief window delivered performances of unmatched intensity and dramatic integrity, and this recording showcases that power.
Windgassen’s Siegfried is fresh and bold, while Greindl’s Hagen is dark and foreboding. Regina Resnik’s Third Norn is the definition of luxury casting. The sound quality is exceptional, capturing the clarity of both the vocal performances and the lush orchestration.
This recording is a vibrant testament to Bayreuth’s postwar renaissance, where dramatic passion and vocal brilliance came together in unforgettable performances.
