Franz Crass and Peter Roth-Erang as giants, Ken Neate singing Loge - all great singers, less known in these parts. GREAT document !!

Thank you!

Crass' Fasolt sounds like it's in heavily perfection. I'd wonder he would have been an excellent Wotan.

@@victorchristy1706 Of the heroic parts he sang only Holländer with Sawallisch (and only with him I think).
