5.0 out of 5 stars A very different take on performing Wagner
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2014

If you would like to hear the lush and beautiful side of this glorious opera this performance delivers just the right amount of lush beauty. The performers are not what you are used to hearing in Wagnarian singing but all are on top of their forms. Highly recommended for an alternate Wagnarian performing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Morris is great\Brunnhilde is better here than on DVD
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2006
I am not a fan of the recent Behrens. Her voice, in the DVD of the ring cycle,( different from the CD's by several years!) is far drier than on disc. On disc, she is tolerable, even good most of the time, though as one reviewer so cleverly put it, Norman's Siegliende sounds like she could eat the Valkyries alive. I would give anything to switch the roles having Behrnes as Siegliende and Norman as Brunnhilde. Why couldnt the met think of that-the Valkyrie is a strong noble woman-Norman would be perfect-

The star of the show is James Morris' Wotan. His voice is like liquid gold, pure butter. OF all the Wotan's I have heard, his is the most effective, even moreso on the DVD set. Some may complain about his legato ladden singing, but this adds an immense beauty to the performance which truly makes you yearn for his every word. In the group I watched the whole cycle with, every time he sang, everyone shut up and was in awe of his performance. The only performance I believe is comparable is KNA's 56 Hotter. It is the only perforamcen by Hotter I think is successful, though his Solti Walkure Wotan may be the worst performance of disc. IT sounds like he is singing, or was recorded in a cave. Stray from that horrid performance. Also Karajan's is pretty good, one of the best. Barenboim;s is decent, tomlinson is strong with a great voice, but he tends to overemphasize certain phrases

For a wonderful comparison of what makes Morris great, I compared his lines in

"Der Alt Sturm' to Fricka regarding Siegliende and Siegmunde to

KNA, KRauss, Solti, Barenboim, Morris DVD, and CD and Haitink

Morris is the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the Best Die Walkure on disc
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2005
People have criticized James Levine for his plodding tempos in his Wagner conducting. However, I believe that his conducting is most true to Wagner's score. I personally think that this Walkure is the best on disc, exceeding the recordings made by Sir Georg Solti, Herbert von Karajan, Clemens Krauss, and to a certain extent, Karl Böhm. The clear, precise, yet transparent sounds he draws from the Met Orchestra is superb, and he displays the psychological drama of the epic tetralogy to a tee. Dare I say that no other orchestra captures the soundscape of the Ring so clearly and beautifully as the Met does in this recording? The cast is top notch too, with Brunhildde being played by the very youthful sounding Hildegard Behrens in her prime. From the magnificent opening Hojotohos to her farewell with Wotan, none of the dramatic qualities of the part were missed by this gifted German soprano. You have here the feminine qualities perfected by Regine Crespin in her Karajan recording, plus the clarion high notes of Birgit Nilsson, and you have a great Valkyrie. Wotan is played by none other than James Morris, a singer whose Wotan I believe exceeds that of Hans Hotter in the Solti recording. This isn't a Wotan to fear, although that is one of the attributed the great American bass baritone can bring to the music. You also have Wotan the father, the lover, the compassionate head god who is distraught because he no longer has the universe under his control. A reference performance indeed. Gary Lakes plays Siegmund, a part bettered only by James King and Jon Vickers. His Sieglinde is Jessye Norman, and despite this talk about her overmannered Sieglinde, I would say that this is one of her greatest Wagner performances...very touching and vocally magnificent. Christa Ludwig plays Fricka, and although the voice is no longer what it was years ago for Solti, the drama she exudes in the text simply cuts through everything like a knife. This is a reference Fricka that must be held beside the hallmark one she recorded decades earlier for Solti. Finally, Hunding is played by none other than Kurt Moll. I wonder why this singer is cast so sparsely in other recordings when he can command some of the greatest Wagner performances on disc. His Gurnemanz, in my opinion, is the most wonderful in the discography if Hotter were erased from history's annals. The Valkyries are a finely tuned octet of sisters.

This truly is a great recording, and the sound is a miracle beyond miracles. Highly recommended!

This recording is among the greatest in a crowded field. Everything works here. Vickers as Siegmund (perhaps the greatest of all), Janowitz as Sieglinde (a smaller voice than usual, but oh-so-beautiful), Stewart as Wotan and Crespin as Brunhilde all shine. The conducting is fabulous; Karajan has a real feel for this opera. Highly recommended!!
