Pros:

  • Thomas Stewart's smooth-talking Wotan commands the stage from his entrance until the final bars of the opera.
  • Anna Reynolds brings imposing grandeur to the role of Fricka.
  • Karl Ridderbusch and Hans Sotin are a formidable pair of giants.

Cons:

  • There is intermittent skipping throughout most of the opera. As an alternative there is a version in mono with sound that is less clear.
