Description:

Thomas Stewart delivers a magnetic Wotan, his smooth authority anchoring the opera from his first entrance to the closing bars. Anna Reynolds brings dignity and dramatic weight to Fricka, while Karl Ridderbusch and Hans Sotin form a commanding pair of giants, their presence both imposing and sonorous.

Note: There is intermittent skipping throughout most of the opera. For those seeking an alternative, a mono version is available, though with less sonic clarity.
