Wonderfully expressive
I was wondering how this would sound, given the age of the recording (I think this is the 1952 recording), but it is amazing how good it is. In this format, it is an absolute bargain. There are many, many reviews out there of this performance, so I shall not attempt to summarise, but this has become a reference point for all subsequent performances, and one that if you have an interest in Wagner, I am sure will be of great interest.
