Solti is very exciting and theatrical, also faster than his studio. Dvorakova has one of the greatest evening of her career. Hering is satisfying but no more. Talvela all the more terrifying because he is impassive. Harper and Veasey are pure delight. Pity for the sound a bit far and the mini cuts.

Very good performance (Solti never disappoints...) but I bought it because of Talvela singing Hagen; his rendition of the vilain is superb.

This is an outstanding document. Especially because Martti Talvela is singing Hagen, which he did very seldom. He is extremely strong in his portrait of this sinister character, always singing and not shouting, even when he calls Gunther‘s „Mannen“!Dvoraková is overwhelming as Brünnhilde. Hering a very good Siegfried. All the other singers in the cast are doing very well. Solti makes a very good job! The sound is of course not the best. The orchestra is well captured, but the singers - like so often - partly too much in the distance.
