Description:

Berit Lindholm is radiant as Brünnhilde, singing with luminous tone and unwavering intensity. Her performance captures both the heroic stature and emotional vulnerability of the role, culminating in a powerful final scene.

Hans Hopf, though late in his career, proves he still has the stamina and vocal heft to meet the punishing demands of Siegfried. His portrayal is sturdy and focused, with flashes of youthful energy. Peter Meven brings unexpected elegance to the role of Hagen, avoiding caricature and offering a more nuanced villain. Hermann Becht—familiar to many as Alberich in the Chéreau Ring—delivers a sterling baritone as Gunther, shaping the role with authority and polish.

There are a few brief drop-outs throughout the opera, and some mild digital "fuzz" at the end of the immolation scene.
