André Tubeuf in a critical dating back three decades, described some severely Marianne Schech of "matron". Remember she was just 45 years old at the time of registration and if a little fishing, but rather by a lack of characterization by the same quality of her voice, quite attractive quoiqualourdie by vibrato a little wide. It is well sung, never out of place, but a little ... a little flat the opposite case Reining, much more vocally worn at Kleiber, but more subtle. The two pearls of this recording however Seefried, sparkling dramatic accuracy and vocal beauty and Böhme, just perfect here, funny, earthy sound and conclusive but when necessary, without ever abusing his side "Fafner" through a who sometimes served. One of the top three or four "official" versions of the opera, alongside Heger and Kleiber, and in my opinion much better Karajan 1 and 2.
