If Bronder lacks the last ounce of heroic razzmatazz...there is not a note or tone in this impressive reading which is not convincingly struck. His colleagues are in like form...Recording quality...

Awards and reviews
April 2014
If Bronder lacks the last ounce of heroic razzmatazz...there is not a note or tone in this impressive reading which is not convincingly struck. His colleagues are in like form...Recording quality is excellent. A big recommendation.
14th March 2014
This new recording, made in concert in Frankfurt last year, is a reminder, however, of just how integral to Wagner's output it is...The best of its melodies, above all that which opens the overture and later resurfaces in Act Five, have all of the narcotic appeal of Wagner's later works.
