Upscaled PIQUE DAME Flake, Mödl, Kuhlmann, Kollo, Braun, Nicolai - Albrecht - Cologne 81

Interestingly, this 1981 performance did not only feature ONE legendary veteran Wagner heroine, Martha Mödl, but also two famous Wagner tenors at the end of their careers in small comprimario roles: Herbert Schachtschneider and Eberhard Katz. Upscaled and de-interlaced with Topaz AI to great effect.

I loved this production, which I only heard and saw very limitedly because I was working at the same time, but Mödl is really a Countess to be reckoned with, she reminded me of my grandmother, she was just like that. And Kollo's Ghermann... so deep in his passion, so lost in it. What a performance!

A very competent performance. Thanks for posting.

Such a shame Victor Braun never sang at Bayreuth. He made a brilliant Wolfram, which can be heard in Solti's 1970 recording, which stars Rene Kollo in the title role.

René Kollo singt großartig und spielt dazu auch noch fantastisch!❤

Замечательная постановка!

[@МатвейВрункель]

Блестящий спектакль, и даже немецкий язык не раздражает. И все исполнители, особенно такой колоритный Томский.

[@Skidoo22]

The greatest opera ever composed, shame about the cuts in this production though.
