\xa0A comparison of six marvelous mezzos in the Act One Waltraute Monologue from Die Gotterdamerung.\xa0 In order they are:
\n\xa0\xa0 Rosette Anday, Elizabeth Hoengen, Margarete Klose, Hanna Schwarz, Christa Ludwig, and Martha Moedl (who was a mezzo at the start and end of her career.).
\n\xa0 I wish to call your attention to the magnificent Youtube rendition by Katharine Goeldner, if you wish to go there. It is surely as fine a rendition as the above.\xa0 (62 min.)
