Wagner: Lohengrin - Remedios, A. Evans, Rysanek, McIntyre, Fondary; Furst. Marseille

$12.95



Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • All-over excellent singers, well-cast in their roles.
  • Anne Evans brings ethereal grace to the role of Elsa. Despite the youthful quality of her soprano, she reveals in the confrontation with Ortrud that she is no shrinking violet.
  • Alberto Remedios brings Wagnerian elegance to the title role.
  • Leonie Rysanek delivers a tour-de-force as Ortrud. If the voice lacks the sheen it had twenty years prior, she more than makes up for it with her signature intensity.
  • Donald McIntyre manages to turn Telramund into a somewhat sympathetic character.

Cons:

  • None to mention.
