Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • Otmar Suitner, taking over for Karl Böhm, delivers a finely tuned, and detailed vision of the preliminary night of the Ring.
  • Theo Adam brings ample sound, as well as a prosaic, recitative quality to the role of Wotan.
  • Wolfgang Windgassen, as Loge, manages to elevate the character from side-kick to formidable player who can hold his own with the gods.
  • Anja Silja is a real stand-out as Freia, as is Gustav Neidlinger's classic Alberich.

Cons:

  • None to mention.
