Wolfgang Windgassen is unequalled for this role. The power in his voice is more heavenly than earthly, but it makes it only more true. The supreme Wagnerian singer.
Terribile e potente questo brano. Rende al massimo l’ idea dello sforzo di Sigfrido per temprare la spada che gli permettera di affrontare ogni ostacolo. Un tenore di altissima qualità: voce calda e forte!!

It's amazing how many hidden leitmotifs there are in this piece!

Incomparably thrilling. Could anything be more powerful?!
Windgassen, a true „Held".
I wish there was a video of this.
Please allow me a simple question: how could Erwin Wohlfahrt have sung at the 1971 Bayreuth Festival, considering the fact that he died in 1968?
Correct. It's from '66
