Description:

Astrid Varnay is sublime in the title role, melding Wagnerian heft with Italianate delicacy. Kurt Baum never managed to break through "second cast" status during his career, which is a shame because he consistently sang with remarkable vocal control and superb phrasing. This recording is missing the opening of Act III and the entire Act IV Judgement Scene.
