| 1980 * Simon Estes as King Marke |
| Kristinn Sigmundsson * 2006 - a missing component didn't become obvious until Kristinn Sigmundsson appeared to sing the part of King Marke. His musical-drama totality brought to mind the great Hans Hotter himself. Beyond its enormous musical value, Sigmundsson's performance also added an element of believability to the production. This indeed was a mighty ruler brought low by betrayal and the resulting pain. In an unintended way, Sigmundsson showed up the others, even the vocally superb Brewer, for their relative lack of emotional credibility. After Marke's aria, both Brewer and Moser went up another significant notch in authenticity./ Review |
