I have many Wagner recordings, but am a bit light on the great mono historical recordings.
Which are the ones I need to get? Your favorites?
thanks

Well maybe they don't care for you, did you ever think of that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!Lohengrin: another strong performance from Bayreuth: 1953, Keilberth, with Windgassen, Steber, Varnay and Uhde. This was a great night for all concerned. Windgassen is not a real Lohengrin vocally, for my taste, but of course he's always an intelligent performer. The others are splendid, with Steber simply beautiful, Varnay wonderfully witchy and powerful, and Uhde the greatest of all Telramunds, as much victim as villain
I don't care for the cast on Furty's 1954 studio Walkure (Modl, Rysanek, Suthaus, Frantz).

Want it.............
The great 1953 Krauss Bayreuth Ring available cheap in just OK sound from opera d oro, for big price increase you get a slight sound improvement in new Orfeo remaster, but for 117 euros you get an amazing miracle of sound improvement (that crushes the Orfeo) with Pristine XR ambient stereo remaster.......
Sine the US dollar is much stronger now the price is getting much cheaper for USA buyers, Itullian take note......
Usually in terrible sound, unless, of course, they've illegally and unethically used the transfer from a another, probably more legitimate source.FYI - anytime you see historical wagner opera by ZYX label with artwork similar to above album just buy it, they are insanely cheap and always highly rated performances
Definitely back the truck up....you will never see prices on Wagner Myto that low with free shipping!^^^^How's Wiener in that '59 set DA?
He's a controversial singer
Schock too
I have the 60 set and like it very much.
I'll check that place out DA. Thanks!!!!!!
I have taken advantage of Myto sale to also buy entire 1960 Kempe Ring, it is really great singing and the live sound is very good, thank the opera gods of Bayreuth that they can be ours.......
This 1960 Kempe series on Myto has awesome singing and very good mono sound.
Not too expensive either.
Uhde is Wotan on Das Rheingold.
