I am reading Culshaw’s “Ring Resounding”, about the making of the Solti Ring.
He talks about a tenor, with a fabulous voice, who was undisciplined and not able to adequately learn the role of Siegfried — had to be canned at the last moment. WHO was that tenor?
It was a blessing in disguise as the Solti Ring has Wolfgang Windgassen in a memorable performance.
