Click this link for more great Opera and Vocal Records in my other listings! From the famous Complete Tannhauser ecorded at the 1930 Bayreuth Festival in the Richard Wagner Opera House Had Arturo Toscanini not been under contract to Victor, he certainly would have conducted Columbia’s 1930 Bayreuth recording of Wagner’s Tannhäuser in its 1861 Paris version, a production prepared by the Maestro. As it happens, Karl Elmendorff is no podium slouch, and his forces operate on a high level of unity and discipline, with impressively blended brass. The recording quality is excellent for its vintage, with ideal vocal/orchestral balances in the opening Venusberg sequence and the Pilgrims’ choruses, plus a cogent sense of how the solo singers projected across the Bayreuth Festspeilhaus footlights. Low voices offer this set’s most attractive singing. Top honors belong to Ivar Andrésen, whose evenly equalized and richly sonorous bass voice still rules over recorded Landgrafs. Herbert Janssen’s lyrical, honeyed Wolfram also makes for heavenly listening, especially in Act 1’s fourth scene. Maria Müller’s youthful, rounded voice nails the role of Elisabeth dead center, and she manages to make “Dich, teure Halle” sound at once powerful yet relaxed.

Quick note on grading: The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise."EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET" is close to noiseless, like a vinyl pressing."VERY QUIET" is an above average quiet record for a given pressing."Quiet" is a record that is a great example with some noise. These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment. Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.
