A galaxy of talent sufficient to cast an Arena di Verona production of Sondheim’s Follies assembles in the following recording. It’s the “Ride of the Valkyries” as sung on February 13, 2003 at a gala performance in Tokyo. Wotan’s daughters, in order of appearance: Alessandra Marc (Gerhilde), Eva Marton (Helmwige), Karan Armstrong (Waltraute), Agnes Baltsa (Schwertleite), Anna Tomowa-Sintow (Ortlinde), Gwyneth Jones (doubling Siegrune and Rossweisse) … and Jochen Kowalski (Grimgerde).

    I’m afraid, Beau, that Miss Dimitrova won’t be accepting any more engagements. Perhaps you could google her.

    yes, i’m aware of miss Dimitrova’s untimely demise. since this was done in 2003, i meant that she could have been there — except she doesn’t sing in german, it seems. i’ve never heard of her tackling Wagner or Strauss for instance.

    By the way, has Behrens finally retired? Haven’t heard any news of her performances for quite a while.
