This is Wagner of scattered highlights, but the quality of the Bavarian RSO’s playing distracts from some underwhelming singing

The common denominator between the casts of the two sets is the excellent Elisabeth Kulman as Fricka, while Eric Halfvarson, Fafner in the previous instalment, is a rather gruff Hunding here. Most crucially, there’s a different Wotan this time: where Rheingold had Michael Volle in the role, here it’s James Rutherford, a lighter, more baritonal voice than Volle, and one who’s at his best in his second-act exchanges with Fricka, but lacks real weight and warmth in the final-scene farewell.
