Die Walküre
'Wagner meant his music to be sung with the most exquisite sensitivity in point of quality of tone and precision of pitch, exactly as Mozart did.'
(BERNARD SHAW)
Alan Blyth considers this point with reference to Wagner's Die Walkiire, illustrating his argument with records of, among others, Lilli Lehmann , Frida Leider , Hans Hot ter, Lauritz Melchior , Friedrich Schorr and Franz Volker.
(The English National Opera gramophone recording of The Valkyrie will be broadcast next Sun-dan: the next In Repertory will be on 17 January)
