Beginning of Act 2 of the Harry Kupfer production of Die Walküre from Bayreuth (early 1990s). Conducted by Daniel Barenboim. Apologies for the poor image and sound quality, but I couldn't find a clip of this on youtube so I simply had to put it on here. Hopefully this will suffice until somebody posts a higher quality version!
WOTAN: John Tomlinson
BRÜNNHILDE: Anne Evans
SIEGMUND: Poul Elming
SIEGLINDE: Nadine Secunde
I have this entire 'Cycle' on DVD and have loved it for years. It's still my favourite, even compared to the NY Met 1990/James Levine traditional classic. Tomlinson and Evans are unsurpassable in every department!

If I had to say which of all the preludes of the Tetralogy is the most powerful and electrifying I would probably choose this !!!
