@coryisawake Good thing you put a question mark behind Dalayman, not an exclamation mark... In this production Eva Johansson 'did' Brunnhilde. Later on, in Siegfried and Gotterdammerung (of the same Stephane Braunschweig Ring production) Dalayman took over. Which, by the way, had nothing to do with Eva Johanssons performance.
Johansson wasn't any good as Brünhilde - too shrill, as unfortunately wasn't Dalayman either - no low regiter whatsoever and scarce high notes. The staging was ridiculous... Berliner Philharmonics and Willard White were the real stars of this Ring.
Heard Sir Willard White sing live as Klingsor in Parsifal in 2007 at the ROH. My God, what a voice!!!
WW has a majectic voice full of boom and juice. A beautiful Wotan, rarely heard in the past and especially the present.
