Richard Wagner - Wotan's farewell to Brünhilde

[@rachelparay7559]

When I first heard this recording (Highlights of the Ring under conductor Karl Bohm at Bayreuth circa 1966), I was blown away. Theo Adam IS Wotan he breathes so much personality life and fatherly divinity to this role that to this day I can't think of a better interpreter even with all the ones that have sung the part - George London a close second James Morris. Theo has such a command for his native German language and for the music. Bohm conducts at a slow and very meaningful pace. The scene is set Wotan king of the gods on a lonely mountain top with his daughter the Valkyrie Brunnhilde whom he casts a sleeping spell upon and puts her in a magic circle of fire. This is one of the most beautiful moments if the Ring. Always gets to me.

the best pairing, Bohm's tempos, Adam's heart, legato and declamation. The best. I love it.

Indeed

[@jrbleau]

At least the guy with the deep voice had the good sense not to interrupt the beautiful theme from 2:41 to 4:05
