WAGNER, R.: Fliegende Holländer (Der) (Hotter, Varnay) (1950)
This historic recording is the first broadcast of Wagner’s Der fliegende Holländer by the Metropolitan Opera company under the legendary conductor Fritz Reiner. This spellbinding performance marked the Met début of the great Wagnerian bass-baritone Hans Hotter and of the Swedish singer Sven Nilsson. It also introduced Astrid Varnay’s first Senta and Set Svanholm’s first Erik.
