    aus Thomas Manns Tagebüchern: "Legte abends die alte Platte 'Abendlich strahlt' ein und war fast zu Tränen bewegt von dem Gesang der Rheintöchter mit dem 'Traulich und treu ist's nur in der Tiefe'. Gebe für diese Stelle allein die ganze Musik Schönbergs, Bergs, Kreneks und Leverkühns dahin." (22.02.48)

    George London is my idol in Wagner's Tetralogy. The best Wotan of all times. A genius of imense dramatic power and of superb vocal qualities. Splendid!!!

    The best Wotan I have heard. Such consistency and rich sweetness of tone, throughout his range. So musical!

      Täglich wird (bei mir) gewagnert.
      Mir sind die historischen Aufnahmen viel näher..
      Und wer die Aussagen zu visualisieren weiß, hat meine Sympathie..
      Liebe Grüße aus Walhall..

    London was probably the greatest interpreter of Wagnerian bass/baritone roles, and this recording of the Solti ""Rheingold" effectively showcases London's artistry. The legendary Wagnerian soprano Kirsten Flagstad(as Fricka) is heard briefly here.

    Sheer Magnificence!!! London was spectacular! The only voice I find at all comparable, dead or alive, would be Ferdinand Frantz!

    This is the real deal. Wagner was the guardian of the best and purest kind of art expression.

    That is the epitomized Wotan- George London. If Solti had started the Ring project earlier to have London all the time. Kmentt also great.

    @BurnsteinandWarenoff Agreed. I carry a torch for Hotter and like him in Lieder in particular. May it be as is said by many who are old enough to have seen him performing live, that his recordings never displayed his overwhelming stage presents and much better live performances...in the Solti his voice was definitely in decline.
    You may know that there is a Walküre with London conducted by Leinsdorf.

    As good as Pape is, he can't compete with London or Hotter, sorry.

      Or Stewart, he was a masterful Wotan, deeply human...London and Hotter on the other hand were powerful with great singing body.

      F. Zane Hotter had a darker voice, perfect for Wotan in my opinion. But London was also a powerhouse Wotan.
