Wagner: Die Walküre (Bayreuth Festival)

Endrik Wottrich (Siegmund); Eva-Maria Westbroek (Sieglinde); Linda Watson (Brünnhilde); Kwangchul Youn (Hunding); Michelle Breedt (Fricka);

Christian Thielemann, by common consent the leading Wagner conductor of our time (Die Presse), returns to Bayreuth for this radiant account of Die Walküre, recorded at the 2010 Festival.

Reviews

"Thielemann and the Bayreuth Orchestra create a ravishing wall of sound and not a moment is less that aurally stunning: one listens, agape." (International Record Review)

"... there's nothing obscure or understated about Thielemann's galvanising presence in the pit and seeing its effect on his singers in Act 3 makes these DVDs even more recommendable than the original CDs." (Gramophone)
