$8.95



Listen to a Sample:

Pros:

  • Some golden age era Wagner for you courtesy of Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires.
  • Erich Kleiber brings character and grace to Wagner's orchestration.
  • Max Lorenz's burly lyricism is right at home in the role of Siegfried.
  • Herbert Janssen's Wanderer is imposing and elegant.
  • One has to wonder if Erich's son Carlos (aged 8 years old at the time of this performance) was in the audience...

Cons:

  • The sound is not idea. There is some wobbly pitch towards the beginning of the recording.
