Having heard so many interpretations, I asked my self why this was so overwhelming. Reinmar has to my ears a most unusual voice with a unique timbre. It also sounds as if the microphone was placed closer to him than is now usual. The effect is something both intimate and epic.
This might be the best recorded performance of Walkuere's final scene. What it was like to see and hear this Wotan on stage must have been an overwhelming experience.
Was für ein wunderbar lyrischer Wotan. Wie unangestrengt und natürlich das alles plötzlich klingen kann! (im Gegensatz zu vielen Brüllbaritonen) Das passt viel besser zu einem Gott. Und dann auch noch so sinn- und geschmackvoll interpretiert. Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen!
Welch ein Format!!! Kraftvolle klare Stimme ! Wo sind derart Grössen heute . Ich verachte den Kulturvergessenen Pöbel von heute ! . Der Teufel holt uns hernach.
Few scenes can turn me into a sobbing mess quite like this one, and this is one of the best-sung I’ve ever heard. Incredible consistency. Also the horns and strings are world class. Thank you!
Un helderbaritono en puridad, el mismo Richard Wagner estaría orgulloso de su técnica vocal y su manera de interpretar el aria...los años dorados de la vieja escuela...en la actualidad no hay nadie que pueda comparársele!
Just ate up a whole comment!!! Hearing Wagner sung like this, Italian it and lyrically by a huge voice gives me even more inspiration and hope about singing this role. I use to think of Friedrich Schorr as my favorite But this is so much more stunning Tho it is not live and that changes the dynamic Plus, recordings are deaf to the 5th dimension of sound, which is volume. But wow!!! Love the feet of clay on the 'nie!'
make no mistake - the VOLUME was there - despite the wider vocal range! The choice of deciding on basso, baritone or tenor depends on where the voice sounds the most beautiful! Reinmar could easily have sung Siegmund or Tannhauser - but how well. Also - recording imperfections mar the assessment.
Nice,...strong voice also...this Hans Reinmar .... but really preference for Matthias Goerne.......with his very special voice timbre and interpretation.... Since years his Lieder, Schubert ...unbelievable...and now also in Wagner....Amazing ...WOW ! We wait for him in Amsterdam...next month...more than WELCOME ! Must be a real happening !
+Nol van Vessum I will say that as much as I enjoy Goerne in Lieder, he has nowhere near the vocal power required for a live Wotan. It's really a rare voice with the power and tone required. Plenty have the timbre...few have the power.

Can't believe this recording is more than 90 years old. Goosebumps.
als Männer noch Männer waren! Diese Tiefe, Breite und Höhe der Stimme. Voller Kraft und doch voller Liebe... unglaublich!! 😳🙏🏻
I miss this art of singing so much!
This is some of the best Wagner singing I have ever heard. Absolutely spine-tingling.
A revelation. What a voice. Truly this was the golden age of Wagner singing.

Eine Wohltat ihm zuzuhören.
Such a surprise! A lyrical, true baritone singing Wotan beautifully. With good volume as well. Great.

Never heard of this this singer. Fantastic!

Me too ! I'm sobbing right now. It's one of the most profound and heartfelt farewells in the repertoire !
What a voice, what an orchestra!
Wow, das hätte ich nicht für möglich gehalten. Hans Reinmar vorsorgt uns ja quasi mit einem Satz neuen Ohren. Unerhört!
Göttlich im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes!
That last phrase is definitely the voice of a God.
Not only his voice was functionally amazing, dark and clear, but his musicality is just out of this world. Grazie mille for sharing this :)!!!
Always welcome. If you like this, check out the video where he does this standing in the middle of the orchestra.
@@AfroPoli That's exactly the video that brought me here :), he is wonderful.
@@AfroPoli Did he sing WOTAN on stage?
1933, das Jahr !
Diese Stimme - beinahe unglaublich, ein Gott des Wagnergesangs!
Gorgeous voice.
Bravo!
I got goosebumps .. this recording is absolutely beautiful 😭
Бесподобно! Мурашки ползают по спине и от оркестра и он Ренмара!
Un helderbaritono en puridad, el mismo Richard Wagner estaría orgulloso de su técnica vocal y su manera de interpretar el aria...los años dorados de la vieja escuela...en la actualidad no hay nadie que pueda comparársele!
Lo mejor de lo mejor. Nitidamente lo mejor, perfecto. Voz plena, esplendorosa, acompañando a la perfeccion con una musicalidad unica.
wunderbare Stimme, einfach großartig!!!
Wow, stunned, not only powerful, but also gorgeous, I love London's voice, this is equally Grand! Glorious grand operatic! Wow... Thank You!
Incredible.
a brilliant voice
Stunningly beautiful
Ganz Ihrer Meinung! Danke fürs Hören!
Beautiful!
Phenomenal!
magnificent!!!

Amazing! Thks for posting, I love these old records...

Excellent! My god Hans Hotter totally out.
qualcosa di.... mastodontico
Uno de los mejores wotan de todos los tiempos, malas grabaciones
Is this recording remastered? Sounds pretty clean and soft.
Yes, it is.
Reinmar is really amazing. Where is that video of him singing in the middle of the Wagner orchestra, from that documentary?

He's not even close to Reinmar… He's a mediocre singer. I don't believe he is able to give justice singing Wotan. He has no voice.
