Yes, its a great joy watching that Fidelio-production from Berlin 1970 with such gorgeous singers-actors as Gwyneth Jones, James King, Gustav Neidlinger, Josef Greindl, Martti Talvela.. A unique portraying of Niedlinger-Pizarro, for instance. And Josef Greindl never disappointed me.. Do you know that he was a masterly singer of Lied? I wish everybody listened to him in Carl Loewe Balladen.
Better than the live recording from 1960, but his vocal quality lacks the nobility the part requires and his intonation isn't always exact. For Sachs you need a voice like Fredinand Franz or Hans Hotter. Nobody's particularly bothered if Hagen sings a bit flat, it suits his nasty character, but Sachs is a wise poet who is fundamentally moral in the most philosophical sense, he has to sing in tune!
Phänomenal in jeder Hinsicht!
...Hagen and Hans Sachs etc...who is capable of that today? Frick, Greindl, Böhme, you could rely on those icons of Bass-Singing. Mi piace moltissimo
What a voice! And every word is intelligible and meaningful. Beautiful performance.

I have not, but there re some TV with Nienstedt - Die Piraten (1968) (also with Martha Mödl), Lulu (1979)
Wagner’s drama is so much more enjoyable when produced naturally as here and not symbolically as generally now.
C'est Greindl?? Mais c'est magnifique.
Cette version existe-t-elle en entier en vidéo?
Wunderbare clips! Wo hast du die DVD gekauft?
Silja is so earnest in Fidelio, a true Fidelio.
