Conductor: Herbert von Karajan
Orchestra/Ensemble: Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Deutsche Oper Chorus
Date of Recording: 1975-81
Kollo is a sweet toned and splendid Lohengrin, full of inflamed compassion and full of nobility, Tomawa-Sintow is a radiant and absolutely beautiful Elsa. Nimsgern and Vejzovic, as Friedrich and Ortrud are powerfully evil as they should be, and Ridderbusch as the King is almost Hans Hotter-like in his magnificense!
You get a real lifelike sense of drama throughout the recording, and all the characters keep their intensity very high. Really great teamwork. --Amazon customer
