Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg - Frantz, Aldenhoff, Lemnitz, Unger, Böhme, Pflanzl; Kempe. Dresden, 1951
$18.95
Description:
Ferdinand Frantz is without question a Hans Sachs for the ages, combining virile, masculine tones with the heart of a poet. Tiana Lemnitz is radiant as Eva. As Walther, Bernd Aldenhoff brings a more dramatic sound to the role, but his solid technique carries him through the more lyrical passages that evoke Mozart more than Wagner. The supporting cast includes fun cameos, such as Theo Adam as Hermann Ortel and Gerhard Stolze as Augustin Moser. I would be remiss not to mention the exemplary playing of the Dresdner Staatskapelle under the direction of Rudolf Kempe. The sound is outstanding.
