Title: Bohm is incandescent but Behrens is a let down
Product review: The biggest reason to acquire this set is the incandescent conducting of Karl Bohm, in one of his last performance of this opera. Unfortunately, he's let down by Hildegard Behrens, whose voice is a size too small for the part and whose lower registers are chaotic. I'm surprised that Popp seems to be a bit out of sorts here. King is already past his prime and the other singers are adequate. An uneven performance.
