What a great feature of streaming........Select a follder, sit back and be surprised by whatever track the machine selects next. Excellent. What will they think of next?
It's been many years since I last listened to this one.

On vinyl:-
Good move pairing Pape with a real Wagner conductor for this disc: the level of intensity is turned up two notches compared to Pape's good but slightly tame first recital disc. I don't think he's a natural Wotan or Sachs - he sounds a bit too clean - but Pape's gorgeous bass, pronunciation and textual understanding provides ample compensation. And then there are a couple of truly outstanding moments: when the chorus steps up for the Meistersinger excerpt, and the whole Parsifal scene (with Domingo as Parsifal) are beautifully done.

Great stuff.....
The Songs of Robert Schumann, Vol.3 - which revolves around the "Frauenliebe and -Leben" cycle.
Banse sings sensitively but avoids the sentimentality that haunts these songs. A great performance.
