  • Annuciation of Death

    Brünnhilde (soprano Linda Watson, above) appears as a vision to Siegmund – announcing his imminent death – in Act II of Wagner’s DIE WALKURE.

    I’ve recently experienced something of a revelation regarding Ms. Watson – more about that soon when I write about “The Colón RING“.

    Tenor Endrick Wottrich, who is Siegmund in this recording, sadly passed away in the Spring of 2017 at the age of 52.
