Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • Herbert von Karajan opens the post-war Bayreuth with a star-studded cast.
  • The smaller roles include Ludwig Weber as Fasolt, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf as Woglinde and Herta Töpper as Flosshilde.

Cons:

  • Sigurd Björling's Wotan is vocally impressive bit a little wooden.
