Recensioner

Nancy Benvenga: Helena Dose is a real find as Eva: warm, affectionate and impulsive. Still in her 20s, she will go a long way if she continues wisely to turn down offers from opera houses that are as yet too large for her voice. (Opera).

Allan Blyth: There is lustrous tone and much feeling in Helena Döse’s lively Eva. (Gramophone).

The Australian Meistersinger: Vastly better is Helena Döse´s rather fine Eva reaching the excellent in the performance. (Mostly Opera)

Lebendige Vergangenheit

Recensioner

Alan Blyth: Torsten Ralf (1901-1954) - I (Gramophone)

Lemnitz joins Ralf again for the single pre-war item, the only one commonly found in its original 78rpm format: the duet from Lohengrin. Though Volker and Muller are superior in this music, this pair runs them a close second, particularly good at conveying the intimacy of the occasion. Ralf's Walther was heard in the complete pre-war Dresden Die Meistersinger Act 3 under Bohm on HMV (now available on Pearl—to be reviewed later), and also in the Prize Song from a 1936 Covent Garden performance under Beecham (Dutton Laboratories, 6/94). The ''Fanget an'' here adds nothing much to our knowledge of his interpretation of the role.'
