Description:

Pros:

• Otmar Suitner, taking over for Karl Böhm, delivers a finely tuned, and detailed vision of the preliminary night of the Ring.
• Theo Adam brings ample sound, as well as a prosaic, recitative quality to the role of Wotan.
• Wolfgang Windgassen, as Loge, manages to elevate the character from side-kick to formidable player who can hold his own with the gods.
• Anja Silja is a real stand-out as Freia, as is Gustav Neidlinger’s classic Alberich.

Cons:

• None to mention.
