It is very interesting combination with Caballé and other above mentioned singers. Caballé is simply wonderful, perhaps her German could be better, but what a performance! And in a way her German is quite charming. I wasn't so much impressed by Cruz Romo, but she is still very worth listening to in Wagner, where we aren't so used to her. Parly, Wildermann and Grimm are real gems of this recording, since they are not so easy to find on Cds. And all are higly competent in their roles. Orchestra and chorus under Karp are great, too. It was interesting for me to listen to Karp's conducting, since I haven't heard him before.
