Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- By 1976, Theo Adam had owned the role of Wotan for well over a decade. That experience is manifested in his totally commitment to the text.
- Perhaps the most interesting feature of this performance is Peter Hofmann's Loge. Unburdened by the vocal demands of Wagner's heavier tenor parts, Hofmann has a chance to display the lovely lyrical nature of his tenor. It is a shame he wasn't able to carry that youthful sheen into the 1980s when his career began to really take off.
Cons:
- None to mention.
In Mono
