Listen to a Sample:

 

Pros:

  • Set Svanholm's lyric, sweet-voiced Siegfried is a marvel.
  • Kirsten Flagstad sings "Ewig war ich" with exquisite beauty, and fearlessly soars over the massive orchestra in the final moments of the opera.

Cons:

  • In any other context Josef Herrmann's Wanderer would be perfectly satisfactory, but after Ferdinand Frantz' sterling portrayal in the first two operas, he comes across a bit disappointing.

BONUS:
Act III, scene ii of Siegfried. March 24, 1950. Svanholm & Flagstad
