Awards and reviews
December 2011
Vocally, the principal singers tend to be Wagnerites, which means that Goltz's Leonore, for all her dramatic commitment, isn't as tidy as we're now used to, while Bernd Aldenhoff's tentorian Florestan uses the language with authority but not nuance...Though everything is in German without subtitles, newsreel footage of the finale and Keilberth filmed from the pit are plentiful compensation.

[Frick] is in magnificent voice, blackly resonant. Aldenhoff is not to be ignored, for his powerful tones do have variety of shading sometimes...Goltz is on the lyrical side, with a vocal sheen that became less noticeable in the 1950s. Elfride Trotschel projects a lively Marzelline, causing one to regret her lost aria
