Wagner: Die Walküre - Varnay, Hotter, Resnik, Vinay, Malaniuk, Greindl; C. Krauss. Bayreuth, 1953
$14.95
Description:
Astrid Varnay and Hans Hotter are well-paired as Brünnhilde and Wotan, their scenes together marked by a sense of genuine dialogue and connection. Perhaps the most intriguing casting choice is Regina Resnik as Sieglinde. Though her top was never effortless—which later led her to mezzo repertoire—she throws herself into the role with such abandon that the effort only intensifies the raw passion Wagner demands. Ramón Vinay, who would eventually transition to baritone, is heard here with his upper register still fully intact and gleaming.
