Josef Metternich sings "Die Frist ist um" from Der fliegende Holländer by Richard Wagner (1813-1883 RIAS- Kammerchor Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin FERENC FRICSAY, conductor recorded in 1952
it is beautifully sung, with a wonderful legato, but i feel little of the drama of the words. I have been enjoying Hermann Uhde's Dutchman lately. There is a terrific live clip here on YouTube.
He has very little emotional connection to what he's singing. Compare with Hans Hotter's intensie conviction!

man sieht den geist dieser figur förmlich vor sich, grauenvoll und dämonisch.
