Wagner: Siegfried

01/05/2007
Jean-Jacques Millo
Opus High Definition (France)

The Australian label Melba continues its series and delivers here an impressive Siegfried – especially with the orchestra, which Asher Fisch directs, showing great attention to detail … Gary Rideout is clear and luminous in the title role …

This recording is worth purchasing, especially for Gary Rideout as Siegfried, John Wegner as Alberich … and for Lisa Gasteen’s Brünnhilde. And of course, for the extraordinary presence of a multi-channel live recording.
