Can't believe this recording is more than 90 years old. Goosebumps.

als Männer noch Männer waren! Diese Tiefe, Breite und Höhe der Stimme. Voller Kraft und doch voller Liebe... unglaublich!! 😳🙏🏻

I miss this art of singing so much!

A revelation. What a voice. Truly this was the golden age of Wagner singing.

This is some of the best Wagner singing I have ever heard. Absolutely spine-tingling.

Was für ein wunderbar lyrischer Wotan. Wie unangestrengt und natürlich das alles plötzlich klingen kann! (im Gegensatz zu vielen Brüllbaritonen) Das passt viel besser zu einem Gott. Und dann auch noch so sinn- und geschmackvoll interpretiert. Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen!

Having heard so many interpretations, I asked my self why this was so overwhelming. Reinmar has to my ears a most unusual voice with a unique timbre. It also sounds as if the microphone was placed closer to him than is now usual. The effect is something both intimate and epic.

This might be the best recorded performance of Walkuere's final scene. What it was like to see and hear this Wotan on stage must have been an overwhelming experience.

Welch ein Format!!! Kraftvolle klare Stimme ! Wo sind derart Grössen heute . Ich verachte den Kulturvergessenen Pöbel von heute ! . Der Teufel holt uns hernach.

Eine Wohltat ihm zuzuhören.

Such a surprise! A lyrical, true baritone singing Wotan beautifully. With good volume as well. Great.

Never heard of this this singer. Fantastic!

What a voice, what an orchestra!

Few scenes can turn me into a sobbing mess quite like this one, and this is one of the best-sung I’ve ever heard. Incredible consistency. Also the horns and strings are world class. Thank you!

Wow, das hätte ich nicht für möglich gehalten. Hans Reinmar vorsorgt uns ja quasi mit einem Satz neuen Ohren. Unerhört!

Göttlich im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes!

That last phrase is definitely the voice of a God.

Gorgeous voice.

Diese Stimme - beinahe unglaublich, ein Gott des Wagnergesangs!

Not only his voice was functionally amazing, dark and clear, but his musicality is just out of this world. Grazie mille for sharing this :)!!!

I got goosebumps .. this recording is absolutely beautiful 😭

wunderbare Stimme, einfach großartig!!!

Un helderbaritono en puridad, el mismo Richard Wagner estaría orgulloso de su técnica vocal y su manera de interpretar el aria...los años dorados de la vieja escuela...en la actualidad no hay nadie que pueda comparársele!

Bravo!

Бесподобно! Мурашки ползают по спине и от оркестра и он Ренмара!

Wow, stunned, not only powerful, but also gorgeous, I love London's voice, this is equally Grand! Glorious grand operatic! Wow... Thank You!

Lo mejor de lo mejor. Nitidamente lo mejor, perfecto. Voz plena, esplendorosa, acompañando a la perfeccion con una musicalidad unica.

Incredible.

a brilliant voice

magnificent!!!

Stunningly beautiful

Beautiful!

Phenomenal!

Just ate up a whole comment!!! Hearing Wagner sung like this, Italian it and lyrically by a huge voice gives me even more inspiration and hope about singing this role. I use to think of Friedrich Schorr as my favorite But this is so much more stunning Tho it is not live and that changes the dynamic Plus, recordings are deaf to the 5th dimension of sound, which is volume. But wow!!! Love the feet of clay on the 'nie!'

Amazing! Thks for posting, I love these old records...

Beautiful voice!

Magnificent!

Excellent! My god Hans Hotter totally out.

Ganz Ihrer Meinung! Danke fürs Hören!

make no mistake - the VOLUME was there - despite the wider vocal range! The choice of deciding on basso, baritone or tenor depends on where the voice sounds the most beautiful! Reinmar could easily have sung Siegmund or Tannhauser - but how well. Also - recording imperfections mar the assessment.

Uno de los mejores wotan de todos los tiempos, malas grabaciones

qualcosa di.... mastodontico

Is this recording remastered? Sounds pretty clean and soft.

Reinmar is really amazing. Where is that video of him singing in the middle of the Wagner orchestra, from that documentary?

Nice,...strong voice also...this Hans Reinmar .... but really preference for Matthias Goerne.......with his very special voice timbre and interpretation.... Since years his Lieder, Schubert ...unbelievable...and now also in Wagner....Amazing ...WOW ! We wait for him in Amsterdam...next month...more than WELCOME ! Must be a real happening !

大哥作为一个白种人，德国话太牛屄啦

Bravo!
