Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg - Prohaska, Lorenz, Müller, Fuchs, Greindl; Furtwängler. Bayreuth, 1943
$18.95
Description:
Wilhelm Furtwängler brings a uniquely romantic touch to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, infusing the score with warmth, breadth, and an emotional elasticity that is rarely heard.
Jaro Prohaska delivers a dignified and steadfast Hans Sachs, his performance marked by vocal resilience and interpretive depth. Eugen Fuchs gives a standout turn as Beckmesser—memorable for its characterful detail and comic precision, yet never lapsing into caricature.
There are a few cuts in this performance, including one before David's scene in Act I and another at the end of the first scene in Act III, but these do little to diminish the impact of an otherwise exceptional interpretation.
