Wagner: Siegfried - Cox, Ligendza, Stewart, Zednik, Neidlinger; Stein. Bayreuth, 1972
$14.95
Description:
Jean Cox brings a surprising lyricism and elegance to the role of Siegfried, offering a more nuanced take on the heroic tenor. Heinz Zednik, as Mime, injects sharp character and energy into the role, nearly stealing the show with his wiry, vibrant portrayal. Of the three Ring Wotans, Thomas Stewart seems most vocally at ease in the guise of the Wanderer, delivering the role with natural authority. Catarina Ligendza's slender but steely soprano embraces the vocal demands of the final scene, meeting Wagner’s challenges with confidence and flair.
Note: Act II contains intermittent skipping.
