Wolfgang Windgassen sings Wagner

Here, in extracts from eight Wagner operas he displays all the lyrical and dramatic qualities of his beautifully natural voice to great advantage. Annelies Küpper also appears, as Elizabeth, in an extended extract from Tannhäuser.

Wolfgang Windgassen (tenor)

Bamberger Symphoniker, Münchener Philharmoniker & Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Richard Kraus, Ferdinand Leitner & Leopold Ludwig

The most significant Wagner tenor since World War II, Windgassen had a fine voice which he used with supreme artistry as here on his invaluable disc. — BBC Music Magazine, Proms 2007, 5 out of 5 stars
