Pros:
- In the seventies, casts of this caliber were almost routine. Yet, in today’s stark drought of truly great Wagnerian voices, this performance stands as a priceless document, serving not only as a reminder of a golden age but as a template for Wagner interpreted at the highest level.
- Even late in her career, Birgit Nilsson remains unrivaled as Brünnhilde, singing with unwavering authority and heartfelt sincerity.
- Leonie Rysanek and Richard Cassilly bring electrifying intensity to the first act as Sieglinde and Siegmund.
- Theo Adam's Wotan masterfully combines charm, simmering rage, and heartfelt paternal love, capturing the full complexity of Wagner's tormented god.
- The recording is in excellent stereo sound.
Cons:
- None to mention.
