The riddle scene from Richard Wagner's Siegfried, Act One. Hans Hotter sings Wotan, the Wanderer; Mime is sung by Gerhard Stolze. Sir Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Cover was taken from the Levine-MET-recording. The famous scene is packed with a rich selection of the Wagnerian motifs from the Ring.
Hans reigns over all - huge voice and poetic abilities eclipse all comers.
