This is a sensational good performance! Caballé as Sieglinde is absolutely astonishing, one of the best ever! Nilsson is as wonderful as always, the perfect Brünnhilde. Thomas Stewarts great performing of his big act two monologue suffers from the sound, which makes his voice nearly unhearable even in the greatest dramatic outbursts ...Cassilly and the very young Salminen are very good, Patricia Paynes give us a strong portrait of Fricka.The Valkiries are not listed ...The orchestral playing is good and very well captured by the recording, always in the foreground, but makes the singers unfortunatly often less hearable, they can only be heard like they would sing behind a wall!This is a great pity!Nevertheless this live recording from Barcelona should not be missed in a true Wagner afficionado‘s collection.

Here is a very rare performance featuring Nilsson and Caballe in the same performance. Nilsson is a known quality and is here in very fine form, singing Brunnhilde as only she could. Caballe is a very successful Sieglinde. The voice is in great shape and she sounds very involved. Cassilly may not be to everyones taste as Siegmund but he is in very good shape here and indeed I don't remember hearing him sound this good elsewhere. Stewart was a well known Wotan and delivers a strong performance here as well. Patricia Payne and Matti Salminen bring strong solid voices to their roles with Salminen sounding particularly menacing as Hunding.
