Perhaps the Greatest Wagnerian Recording Ever!
Ralph J. Steinberg | New York, NY United States | 10/05/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Like the Heger "Rosenkavalier", here we have a recorded performance featuring truly great artists, the great Lotte Lehmann, Lauritz Melchior (here, I have no reservations about him), Emmanuel List, and the Vienna Philharmonic galvanized by a Bruno Walter who sheer potency in this music is unforgettable. It is certain that Walter was at his greatest with this orchestra. The transfer from 78's is incredibly clear and impactful; the old COLH LP is dreadful by comparison. What a shame that Walter never recorded a complete Wagnerian opera, particularly with such a cast as this. Incidentally, Opus Kura's transfers of other Walter/Vienna Philharmonic performances are simply staggering in their clarity and impact."
