DIE WALKÜRE:Wagner
OAD: 12/06/1941  SID.191907
Leinsdorf; Traubel, Schorr, Varnay, Melchior, Thorborg, Kipnis

This really is a broadcast of giants, and marks Varnay’s debut on an an operatic stage. Traubel has been recently discussed on Opera-L, and count me very much in the Traubel camp. Hearing the Todesverkundigung with her and Melchior is one of the absolute best, and the Walkure Brunnhilde is one of her best roles. The remainder of the cast is just as exceptional– esp. since i much prefer Kipnis’ voice to List. Paul Jackson notes with sadness this is Schorr’s final Wagner broadcast, and it finds him far from his two decade mastery of Wagner.
