Description:

This recording confirms what many have long believed: there has never been a more compelling pairing in Der fliegende Holländer than Leonie Rysanek and George London. Rysanek, in her early prime, offers a near-ideal Senta—her voice gleaming with a metallic sheen and seemingly limitless reserves of power. London matches her with a Dutchman of striking emotional complexity, conveying both rugged stoicism and inner vulnerability. Josef Greindl adds warmth and a touch of humor to Daland, rounding out a superb trio of leads. Under Wolfgang Sawallisch's baton, brisk tempos bring a surprising buoyancy to the score, lightening the darker corners of Wagner's writing. The sound quality is excellent, making this a standout among historical recordings of the opera.

BONUS:
Leonie Rysanek sings arias from Der fliegende Holländer, Tannhäuser, and Lohengrin.
