Recital: Leonie Rysanek & Giselbert Wolfgang Kassel - Scenes from Die Walküre, Tannhäuser. Aix-en-Provence, 1972

$4.95



Description:

This concert of extended scenes from Tannhäuser and Die Walküre captures Leonie Rysanek in the prime of her storied career. In the early 70s, her voice began to take on a darker hue, which added warmth and presence to her middle register. This change made her even more effective as Sieglinde, while still maintaining her ability to convey the youthful exuberance of Elisabeth in Tannhäuser. Giselbert Wolfgang Kassel makes an admirable contribution as Siegmund and Tannhäuser, but Rysanek is the clear star of the performance.

In Mono

BONUS:
Leonie Rysanek sings arias from Lohengrin and Der fliegende Holländer.
