Description:

Pros:

• This recordings is a fascinating document of one of the early recorded broadcasts from Covent Garden.
• Andreas Boehm brings melifluous grace to the role of Wotan.
• Set Svanholm offers one of the best Loges I have heard, combining stentorian power with capricious agility.
• Ludwig Weber brings considerable nobility to the role of Fasolt.
• Jean Watson is an exceptionally fine Erda.

Cons:

• This performance is not complete. There are a number of drop-outs, the most regrettable being the last 10 minutes of the opera.
• There is a good amount of hiss interspursed throughout the recording.
