Richard Wagner
Die Walküre
James King, Régine Crespin, Gottlob Frick, Hans Hotter, Birgit Nilsson, Christa Ludwig, Vera Schlosser, Berit Lindholm, Brigitte Fassbaender, Helen Watts, Helga Dernesch, Vera Little, Marilyn Tyler, Claudia Hellmann
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Georg Solti
'Die Walküre' was the last of the Decca 'Ring' to be recorded and they went out with a flourish. The cast is exceptional with a crazy line up in the Valkyrie department. Lindholm? Fassbaender? Watts? Dernesch? With this lot one should expect that the 'Ride' to be something special - and it is with, at one point, the orchestra being unleashed in all its Viennese glory. Hotter brings all his knowledge of the role of Wotan to the recording studio and Nilsson is an almost perfect foil to his dignified interpretation. Crespin and King sing their hearts out and make these lovers into believable characters. One would be foolish to argue with Christa Ludwig's Fricka. The recording is forward with a perfect balance. Even the Alpenhorn which was used to herald the arrival of Hunding in Act 2 is memorable. This is Wagner studio recording at its best and many engineers could learn a great deal from it.

Booklet contains a commentary in English and a libretto in German/English

Our records have always been handled with care and stored correctly.

To avoid any dispute buyers should be aware that they buy our vinyl with the above proviso in mind.
