A Superb Production!! - By: E. A. Redfearn, 13 Jun 2002
I first saw this production when it was broadcast a few years ago by the BBC & even now after repeated viewings, it is still a superb production. The star of the opera of course is the wonderful Gwyneth Jones. Her interpretation of Brunnhilde is one of the finest. Manfred Jung was who virtuallly unknown before this production is a superb Siegfried, even though he does overact at times. Nevertheless, his voice is a joy to listen to. As always, the Bayreuth Orchestra & Chorus are in top form, & the overalll production which curiously enough is set in a fishing village, is a fine achievement.

However, this version has now a serious rival & that is the New York Met version conducted by James Levine with Hildegard Behrens as Brunnhilde. Buy both if you can, for they are both superb in their own way. A must buy for any Wagner enthusiasts.
