Keilberth continues to pace the Ring dramas without resorting to highlighting the Big Moments unnecessarily. He knows how to aid his singers in telling the story, when to slow down and when to push forward. His cast is truly great. Hotter continues the cycle in splendid voice, singing with beauty, power, and a lieder singer's ability to color the words and - again - tell a story. If one wants proof of Hotter's genius, look no further. Modl is in fine fettle, ripping through the "Ho-jo-to-ho"s with ferocity and matching Hotter every step of the way to the third act conclusion. Her Todesverkundigung scene with Vinay is also a highlight of the performance. Overall her singing here surpasses her performance for Furtwangler at the RAI and in the studio recording the next year.Vinay and Resnik sing very beautifully and with great purpose as the Walsung twins. Resnik' rich lower register is a tremendous aid in her Act One narrative. She follows Wagner's stage directions and gives a mad laugh halfway through her hysteria scene in Act Two. She also lets out a blood-curdling scream when Siegmund is killed; it's truly one for the record books! Vinay is manly, passionate, and heroic in his role. Malaniuk is first-rate as she continues her role from Das Rheingold. Greindl is an intimidating Hunding, no one you'd want to mess with. The Act Three Walkuren are good, if a bit shrill. The sound is excellent broadcast mono, clear and warm. Any Wagner lover should have this performance.
