“Above all there is the incomparable Mime of Graham Clark” “Bertrand de Billy from the rostrum and his Barcelona players do him proud, lending a dignity with unusually measured tempo…” “The altercation between Günter von Kannen as Alberich and the Wanderer at the start of Act 2 is powerfully done…” “Brünnhilde of Deborah Polaski negotiates with fine dramatic skill the lengthy transition from Valkyriedom to humanity.” “…when it is sung as beautifully as here, one is humbly grateful.”
