Listen to a Sample:
Pros:
- Wolfgang Windgassen makes one of his first appearances as Siegfried, a role that he would go on to own for the next two decades.
- The Siegfried Wanderer shows a softer side of Wotan, and Hans Hotter excels in finding the rich ambiguity of a god who still has pugilistic impulses, but whose priorities have shifted from world-domination to tending to his family.
Cons:
- Windgassen gets hopelessly lost during the forging scene.
