OMG…Yes!
Just what I need to get my day going here in CA.
O my gentle Jesus …
was this from a Gala or something?
or the short-lived National Opera of the Canary Islands?
where … when … how?
Jochen Kowalski? Someone should organize an all-countertenor Ride of the Valkyries. Which reminds me of the fabulous version done by La Gran Scena…
This was from a gala concert at the Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo. 2 performances were given on Thurs 13 Feb and Sat 15 Feb 2003. Eva Marton was a late replacement for Hildergard Behrens. It was a riot!
It’s sad that I can’t listen to this while I’m at work!
i will never tire of hearing this.
Thanks for sharing this great piece of opera history.
Here’s the cast:
Eva Marton – Helmwige
Anna Tomowa-Sintow – Ortlinde
Alessandra Marc – Gerhilde
Agnes Baltsa – Schwertleite
Karan Armstrong – Waltraute
Jochen Kowalski – Grimgerde
and Gwyneth Jones takes on both Siegrune and Rossweisse
Towards the end actually everyone sings what they please, not genuine with any role…
