People in their 80's and 90's should tell the world about great Wagner singing before they too pass away...

I love Philipp Kang as Hagen! So much power in his voice!

Philip Kang singt phantastisch. Bravo.

Liked this production - it's funny to think how much of a storm it stirred up back then :D

Not my favorite Hagen by a long shot, but there's something about how he sings this particular scene that just chills me to the bone.

Ich hab den Kang im Jahre 2005 in Köln bei dem dorigen Ring erlebt, auch den Hagen singen. War inzwischen viel älter geworden und war auch net mehr so ein stattlicher Kerl wie bei dem Kupfer/Barenboim-Ring, aber seine Stimme ist genauso dunkel, düster, ja spukhaft - im besten Sinne des Wortes - geblieben :) Mit seinem Kölner Hagen hat er im Übrigen viel, viel mehr geleistet als mit dem Bayreuther. .

super inszeniert,- super gesungen! Bravi!

What a great work. This part of the opera really never fades from memory. I would personally perfer a little bit more edge from Hagen and the Chorus, but there is no perfect Wagner performance.

Sehr gut

But it was in Bayreuth.

Bravo, Barenboim!

Bravissimo

extraordinary!! my new favorite hagen after gottlob frick

@dimakauffman but he retired from stage, and returned to South Korea to teach studentsin National Seoul University. sigh!!

He sang Hagen in the Nuremburg Ring 2007 and I was quite disappointed. His voice was weak and grey-shaded, so it was the best for him to retire :-(

Der beste Hagen ist er! Einfach super!!

@icylakepaxphile that's just sad man!

Bricht vor der besten Stelle ab...

Too quick, it lost a good deal of the teansion it should have (in my opinion)

The voice is too light for this part.

baritono.

Der schrecklichste der Opernchor!

what the? is he bass? or baritone? terrible!
