[wotansschwert]

officially THE sexiest Sieglinde ever!!

[christopheschuwey86]

Faboulous Gwyneth Jones, Wonderful Altmeyer... Divine, Lightful, Consecration of humanity.

[katharinehoad123]

i agree wotansschwert......... i have the recording with her singing brunhilde and Norman singing sieglinde...... minton fricka........ I think altogether rather good!....

[her0esfan]

they should bring out this Walkure on Bluray!

[cubcake81]

"Oh herstes Wunder" by Altmayer is just breathtaking & thrilling... One of the best Sieglinde... wow

[SilentShooter53]

I have seen the Met version and this production though I prefer the Ring staging by the Met it being more traditional, the singing and acting in the Boulez Bayreuth production is far superior.

[martello79]

Schnaut only sings Waltraute here, just a few sentences, perhaps you mix her up with Altmeyer or Jones?

[aquax9]

great! what the hell happened to gabriele schnaut? she sounds superb here

[erinsheldon]

She isn't "reminded" she is pregnant, she is told for the first time

[CONTESTAR]

I cannot really advise... but...

I have seen both DVDs but I bought this one.

Both casts are very strong and I have a lot of respect for every single artist on those.

Both productions are wonderful to watch and all bigger or smaller parts are superbly sung.

My choice was based on the consummate interpretation of a Jones in form that defies criticism or even comparison (her Walküre cry, the awakening in Siegfried or the Götterdämerung make History) and the timbre of MacIntyre's Wotan...
