WAGNER, R.: Lohengrin (Windgassen, Steber, Keilberth) (1953)
This 1953 recording, a joint Anglo-German enterprise, is outstanding for the superbly smooth and dignified interpretation of Lohengrin by Wolfgang Windgassen, the leading Heldentenor of his time. No less praiseworthy are the clear-toned Elsa of Eleanor Steber, the finely characterised and cleanly sung Telramund of Herman Uhde, the superlative singing of the choral forces (trained by the legendary Wilhelm Pitz) and the attentive almost reverential conducting of Josef Keilberth, a much admired interpreter of Bruckner, Pfitzner, Richard Strauss and Wagner.
