A brute "cave-man" Josef Greindl (Hunding, Hagen, Fafner) is surprisingly beautiful as Hans Sachs!
OMG he SMILES.

  • Amazing. Greindl's fine Sachs is available on CD.

    There is an extraordinary film of Fidelio with Greindl and Neidlinger. Their acting is so powerful; you can imagine what they must have been like in the Ring.

    Thank you.

  • Yes, its a great joy watching that Fidelio-production from Berlin 1970 with such gorgeous singers-actors as Gwyneth Jones, James King, Gustav Neidlinger, Josef Greindl, Martti Talvela.. A unique portraying of Niedlinger-Pizarro, for instance. And Josef Greindl never disappointed me.. Do you know that he was a masterly singer of Lied? I wish everybody listened to him in Carl Loewe Balladen.

  • Yes, the Fidelio is outstanding. There is another almost in the same league with Anja Silja - have you seen it? But of course Greindl and Neidlinger are in a class by themselves.

    I have just been wondering about Greindl as a Lieder singer - haven't heard him, but imagine he would be, as you say, masterful.

  • Silja is so earnest in Fidelio, a true Fidelio.

  • Outstanding! Greindl was a superb artist -- no wonder Wieland adored him so.

    Do you have any good clips of Gerd Nienstedt in your private collection?

  • I have not, but there re some TV with Nienstedt - Die Piraten (1968) (also with Martha Mödl), Lulu (1979)

see all

  • It's a stunning moment when she whips her cap off, and that long red hair comes tumbling out...... can't imagine a more effective Fidelio.

  • Brilliant! Thank you so much for posting this! Greindl is one of my favourite basses! I do wish there would be more moving footage of him available on DVD though...

  • C'est Greindl?? Mais c'est magnifique.

    Cette version existe-t-elle en entier en vidéo?

  • Already have the Lulu, also a Walkure from Osaka. I'll look for Die Piraten -- thanks!!
