"The orchestral playing is fine, although a bit on the loud side when the Brass enter. I bought the piece because of the Soprano, Anja Kampe. I saw

her live in Munich in 2007 and have since followed her around the USA in DC and LA. She has the most remarkable Wagnerian voice of the age. She is young, beautiful, has the body of a playboy model, wears female clothes unlike most Wagnerian sopranos who wear TENTS. She can act like a

real actress, but her voice is that of something I have not heard since Beverly Sills returned to the USA in the early 1960's. Her Liebestod is comparable to the best Wagnerian sopranos who have recorded this. The other orchestral music is available anywhere, but this is the only place you can get a glimse of the next SUPER WAGNERIAN SOPRANO, ANJA KAMPE. She is reason enough to purchase this album."
