Overview:

Heinrich Knote, one of the leading tenors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is celebrated for his powerful performances of operatic arias. This collection features selections from the great operas of Verdi, Wagner, and Weber, showcasing his vocal mastery in both dramatic and lyrical roles. The compilation includes iconic works such as Lohengrin, Die Walküre, Der Freischütz, and Tannhäuser, with Knote’s nuanced interpretation of these demanding roles.

In particular, his rendition of Lohengrin (Wagner), including the poignant "Das süße Lied verhallt" and "Wenn ich im Kampfe," reflects his ability to blend lyricism with the heroic demands of Wagner’s music. His interpretation of Tannhäuser and Der fliegende Holländer demonstrates his command over both the romantic and dramatic elements that characterize these German operas.
