Siegfried was a musical delight in every respect. A wonderful Stefan Vinke, a superlative Bryn Terfel and a warm sounding Susan Bullock made the most of this incomprehensible production . Despite of some "intellectual" argument for Keith Warner's ideas, it is still failing constantly Wagner's intentions.
I appreciated the import of J. Schmeckenbacher for the ailing W.Koch. We should hear him
more often!!!!
