Title: I liked it
Product review: I would call Karl Ridderbusch not wooly but big, rich, friendly, doing a good job of singing a role which is a bit above his range. From all reports (except one, the first comment on this review) he was a very nasty man and an unreconstructed Nazi who never served, but he was excellent at PORTRAYING benevolent big guys. Too much so to be really effective as Fafner and Hagen. His stage-personality was like John Goodman's, which is just right for Sachs.And the other reviewer must not be listening to the same Jean Cox I hear. I have no complaint about him except that he's not quite as genius an actor as Windgassen and Jess Thomas. But he is strong and beautiful, his range is just right, and I find his acting very sincere. Especially the exchange with Eva in Act II.Hans Sotin is gorgeous as Pogner. The goldsmith with the golden voice. Rich like Kurt Moll but a better actor.
