Pros:
- Gustav Neidlinger (of Alberich fame) gets a chance to display his prodigious skills as a singer as well as his legendary acting skills in Wagner's most daunting role for baritone, Hans Sachs.
- Elisabeth Grümmer is near perfectly cast as Eva, bringing purity of tone and superlative musicality to the part.
- Walter Geisler's sweet yet robust tenor is also well cast as Walter.
- Gerhard Stolze almost steals the show as David.
Cons:
- None to mention.
