About
In this, one of his all-too-rare recital discs, he displays that typical amplitude and generosity of voice, and shows how seamlessly he can move from geniality and humour to baleful and black-voiced.
Like Van Mill, Otto Edelmann sealed his international reputation at the 1951 Bayreuth Festival, where his Hans Sachs was admired for its robustness and authority, flecked with mischievous humour. Edelmann’s resonant, cleanly focused bass (without woolliness or ‘spread’) lay a tone or so higher than Van Mill’s. His extremely rare 1951 recital disc for Decca here forms a coupling to Van Mill’s recital for Philips.
‘fine musical oratory [in the Wagner] … Edelmann sings this quite enchanting music [Cornelius] with a superb legato, and I would buy the disc of this aria alone.’ - (Edelmann) Gramophone, May 1952
‘one of the most magnificent bass voices I know’ - Philip Hope-Wallace, Gramophone, June 1963
