Frankfurter Opern- und Museumsorchester
Sebastian Weigle

Like the preceding Rheingold, The Valkyrie is now being issued in a luxurious presentation in the tried and tested „Frankfurt Opera Recording System.“ The press reacted enthusiastically, especially towards the musical side of the new production:
(…) (…) the orchestra is generally – a first-class listening delight: with precise reference to the singers, emphasis of significant moments and magnificent soli in the winds – transparent and never in an impasto-style despite all the dramatic excitement – thus Weigle leads his instrumentalists through this extensive world. The palette full of contrasts between lyrical moods and glaring attacks offered the most highly differentiated colours under his polished conducting. Music – „legible“ for the ears and always compliant with the stage. There was thundering applause for this truly excellent achievement. (…)
