Author:
The earlier recordings (1927-9) are from Homocord, rarely found over here. They show a fine, resonant voice and a lively style. He is at his best in the aria from Hans Heiling, exuberant in its enthusiasm but always well-controlled and sensitive to the musical line. Valentin's aria in Faust is taken a whole tone down, where he seems perfectly at ease with the high notes, but none too happy with the low ones. His Wagner (Dutchman, Sachs, Wotan, Amfortas) has not the poetry and mellowness of Schorr's or the ample power of Hotter's, but everything is well focused and one feels it would project. The Electrola recordings of 1939 present him in a rather disappointing choice of Lieder, cleanly rather than imaginatively performed but always fine in tone and legato. He is a singer: the first impression was quite right, and the initial pleasure lasts throughout the recital.'
