Wagner: Götterdämmerung


Wolfgang Schmidt, Deborah Polaski, Eric Halfvarson, Falk Struckmann, Anne Schwanewilms, Eckehard Wlaschiha & Hanna Schwarz

Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele, James Levine

Staged by Alfred Kirchner

“An abstract, simple set, against which the characters play out their fates…starkly and strikingly executed” (The New York Times)

“…excellent performances… Deborah Polaski's powerful but feminine and vulnerable Brünnhilde, Eric Halfvarson's horribly charismatic Hagen, and Falk Struckmann's unusually sturdy Gunther… Levine… carries the performance, as slow as his 1990 Met recordings but much more fluent, and with even finer orchestral playing.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2007 ****
