$14.95
Description:
Hans Beirer shines in this performance, which stands as a remarkable document of a time in Vienna when legendary performances were more or less the norm. Despite being in his 60s, Beirer's voice remains powerful and his technique flawless, making it difficult to believe the age of the performer. His vocal prowess is as impressive as ever, offering a commanding presence throughout the performance.
Berit Lindholm's silvery soprano is used to great effect in the final scene, enhancing the emotional depth of the production. Thomas Stewart, while not possessing the same interpretive qualities as someone like Hans Hotter, brings one of the most beautifully sung portrayals of Wotan in the history of opera. His voice, rich and expressive, captivates in a way that elevates his performance to an exceptional level.
