Title: Dangerous Recording
Review: The person who recommended this recording to me said it sent chills down her spine. Her enthusiasm was so great I ordered it although I was a bit dubious whether it could be "that" good. It is. I am not musically qualified to rate the technical qualities of the voices, whether they missed any notes, etc. but from a lay perspective this recording is absolutely breathtaking. Deborah Voight in particular bring so much emotion, passion and pacing into the pieces. She caresses each phrase. The recording is riveting and hard to stop listening to.That brings up the potential danger to this CD. I listen to it usually at night in bed and have drifted off to sleep to it many times. Now, sometimes when I am at a live performance of Siegfried, sometimes i will start to drift off. The recording may have started an automatic response! But this is minor in the scheme of things and no reason not to get this superb recording immediately. I especially recommend for newcomers to Wagner
