Ok a little strained at the top but overall the best Wotan by far. What more could anyone ask for in a Wotan?

[Adirondaque]

Wotan to my ears.......

[AnnAdairActually]

Pape's technique is solid, but overall this does't hold a candle to Levine and Morris at the Met. Seriously. Conductor is uninspired in this performance.

[elainebmack]

What a tepid orchestra.

Yes, a very flabby performance, let Eliot Gardiner perform a Ring Cycle, he'd blow away all those worthless cobwebs of 'tradition'!

[eusebium7]

Pape has a beautiful creamy voice, the only problem with this version is that the music is far too slow. I guess that is a common fault of Wagner performance these days.

[AfroPoli]

Finally a Wotan with culture and not that ugly, hoarse, wobbly and woofy barking sound offered by so many of today's baritones/basses.

[SuperDarchangel]

Es ist natürlich wie so oft eine Geschmacksfrage,was die Stimmfärbung und das Timbre betrifft. René singt das sehr anständig, aber es stimmt schon, daß es doch recht hell gesungen ist, aber es klingt gesund und er tut sich damit nicht weh und das ist aus seiner Sicht das wichtigste.
