  • Here I sit on watch, guarding the house, defending the hall from the foe. The wind wafts Gibich's son on his way to woo a wife. His helmsman is a hero bold who will defy danger for him. His own bride he brings back to the Rhine but to me he brings - the ring! You sons of freedom, cheerful companions, gaily sail away! Though you deem him base, you will yet serve theNiblung's son.
  • One of my favourite "evil bass declares his evilness" scenes. Hagen is such a magnificent villain, and yet he's tragic. Tomlinson is brilliant in such roles.

  • Excellent rendition of this. Strong, dark, fearsome. As it should be.

  • @012121958 einen "greatest bass ever" gibt es nicht - kann es nicht geben; einen Falstaff wie Terfel wird Tomlinson z.B. niemals gesungen haben. Aber als Hagen - und als Wotan!!! - ist Tomlinson unerreicht, auch von den "großen Wagner-Sängern vor 50 Jahren und davor". Mindestens seit es Tondokumente gibt hat diese Rollen niemand so beeindruckend gesungen (und gespielt) wie er

  • Wer John Tomlinson einmal gesehen hat, vergisst ihn nie mehr. Mit seiner Stimme erinnert er an die großen Wagner-Sänger vor 50 Jahren und davor.

    Greatest Bass ever? Leider nicht...

  • Greatest bass ever?

  • thanks!

  • anyone know the translation to this?
