Wagner: Lohengrin CD (Rudolf Kempe)

A superb display of inspired, inventive and theatrical operatic music, this CD of Lohengrin brings together an extraordinary cast: Jess Thomas in the title role as an idealised hero and a vulnerable man, the stunning Elisabeth Grummer as Elsa and Christa Ludwig and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau as Ortrud and Telramund.
