Hans Hotter, Die Walküre (Wagner), Wotan's Farewell, 1942

Herzlichen Dank dass Du es hochgeladen hast. Ich habe Hans Hotter so oft persönlich in der Wiener Staatsoper erlebt. Nicht nur, dass er wunderbar gesungen hat. Seine ganze Erscheinung. Er war ja sehr groß und wenn er sich bei Wotans Abschied an fast an der Pfeilspitze angehalten hat. Es war einfach unglaublich!!!

Une bonne version.

I've only heard him on the Solti-Culshaw recording before this, and all I have to say is...WOW!

[fastborzoi]

fabulous

Excellent version! Thank you for posting this.

I'm going to use it in a movie someday..............the plot is two brothers, torn apart.

I'm sure you understand: basically, things are fucked up as usual.

Remarkable. He's so young that it's a little unsettling, like photos of one's father as a young man. The erotic undercurrent of the piece flows unusually close to the surface.

Bravo. Such detail, subtlety and clarity.

Superb voice, handsome man.

Just magnificent! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry, I don't have that information.

But I wiil post some other recordings of the years 42 and 43 in wich Hotter is, as you said, magnificent compared to later recordings, not only in the voice but also in the expression, so deep and profound.

What orchestra? Amazing to hear Hotter in such magnificent voice compared to the Solti recordings of the 60s!
