THIS PART IS FOR YOUR FAVORITES! Please discuss this artist with your comments! George London, Bass-Baritone (1920-1985) Richard Wagner - Das Rheingold Abendlich strahlt der Sonne Auge (Recorded 1957/58) My personal opinion: When I came to opera in the early 1970´s, I always could read first how great George London was. And so, in good faith I bought the Cluytens-recording of "Les Contes d´Hoffmann" in which Mr. London sang Coppelius and Miracle - without exaggeration one of the most worst performance a singer with such a fame ever gave on records! "From the first note to the last, Mr. London sounded strained, if not even overwhelmed. In both parts, he stressed the audience!" This you can even read on the hompage of the Jacques Offenbach-Society. It is remarkable that critics always spoke about the effect from London´s singing, the spoke little about his way of singing itself. Many YouTube-users called him "magnificent" - a compliment I couln´d share. For me London ever was an one-dimensional singer, his expression was false and affected. And most of all: His voice wasn´t melodic! IMO he sang like he was in a voice-corset: Stiff and fixed... I´m sorry to say this, but the fame of George London is a mystery to me! It´s very interesting, some critics gave an opposing judgement: Even on records (so I could read) his singing have dramatic suggestive-strenght and effectiveness. Really? If you could read between the lines you may find other predicates: Kesting wrote, in London ...

"Weiche, Wotan! Weiche!" (Das Rheingold: scene 4) is Erda's Aria from Richard Wagner's opera, "Das Rheingold." One possible translation of Erda'a opening words would be: "Yield it, Wotan! Yield it! Flee the ring's dread curse..." Wotan later comes to love Erda and fathers the Walküre with her. She is the mother of the three Norns, who were born to her without a father, rather simply from the original energy of Creation itself. This is what she tells Wotan in this Aria...
