Wagner: Siegfried - Hopf, Nilsson, Neralic, Marschner; Cluytens. Milano, 1963
$14.95
Description:
André Cluytens' reading of Siegfried is a revelation—fleet, luminous, and remarkably transparent. Under his baton, Wagner’s orchestration often feels lighter than air, without ever sacrificing dramatic momentum.
Hans Hopf makes the role of Siegfried sound deceptively easy, dispatching its punishing vocal lines with strength and clarity. Birgit Nilsson is in peak form, her voice blazing with power and brilliance. She brings thrilling authority to Brünnhilde, capturing both the grandeur and the vulnerability of the final scene.
There is some occasional static.
