Das kann ich nur vollauf bestätigen!!!

Up until the early fifties Hotter's voice was absolutely fabulous. Unfortunately, his stereo recordings date from a later period in his life. By this time his voice had developed an unfortunate tendency to wobble on sustained notes. His recordings of lieder bear witness to his beautiful voice, but generally his lieder interpretations do not carry the insightful interpretation required in this genre. They do serve as examples of great singing. He was much better in opera than in lieder.

Was there ever a better Wotan? The question needs no answer. This man sang the God like a God, and then could spin out a song of Schubert, Brahms or Wolf with the same interpretive skill.

A "TRUE GOD!

@alexandrevlad37 Tu dis vrai.La grande différence réside dans l'appui du diaphragme qui est bien plus énergique chez Kipnis.De fait,il ne peine jamais.
Merci de ta confiance.

@abracadabranque Merci! Je viens de l'écouter( Kipnis). Il est magnifique, je ne l'avais jamais entendu dans Wotan: c' est impressionant ! sa voix est même plus saine que celle de Hotter qui pourtant est un baryton basse.

Où donc peut on attrapper Kipnis là ? Je ne trouve pas ...
Merci mon grand copain .

@alexandrevlad37 Ecoute Kipnis dans la même chose:Magistral!

Einfach unglaublich, welch ein Gespann: Hotter und Knappertsbusch. Neben George London (ebenfalls mit Knappertsbusch) der für mich beeindruckendste "Wotan", den es je gegeben hat !
Hans Hotter ist Wotan.
