  • The tempo is not wrong, if the singer can frase that way you can do it.Total poetic, frase by frase, like Klemperer german ideal, no regular subdivision, no metronome at all.

    That is German School, tone and fluidity.

    I like this version very much.

  • Herr Prey is much missed. He was a fine artist, who used his warm, beautiful voice very well indeed---

see all

  • Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau bleibt hierin unübertroffen!

  • The reason you often hear this sung by younger singers at a faster tempo is: Developing singers don't have the breath control to sing it at Hermann Prey's tempo. This is a wonderful version!

  • Years ago I saw a German TV report on Herman Prey. At home he likes to listen to Bob Dylan.

  • interessant.....sobald er mal nicht die Obertöne mitnimmmt und hier und da zu offene Vokale singt, wird er sofort zu tief.

  • niestety jest sporo nieczystych dżwiekow,znam wielkość hermanna ale to nie sa jego najlepsze nagrania,podziwiam,ale niestety nie do końca

  • 04:39 cello solo starts too early ;-)

  • Gefällt mir nicht so besonders. Wurde schon besser gesungen, finde ich.

  • Beautiful.

  • Grazie di questa bellissima esecuzione che ci hai regalato !!!! Se hai piacere di ascoltare l' ultima composizione di R. Wagner, digita sul mio sito: Franco Mannino concerto Ischia ! Se vui ascoltare come canta un violoncellista digita Ella giammai m' amo' .... Se vuoi ascoltare infine le mie ultime composizioni sacre, digita Stabat Mater e Agnus Dei....... Ora un caloroso ed affettuoso CIAO !!!!!!

  • @axelmimi : The Warren recording was not made the night he died! He died after singing his aria during a full performance of La Forza del Destino... not a recital, and not Tannhauser!!!

    The Wolfram aria was apparently a recital, probably years earlier.
