Disc 1 of 4

The Valkyrie (Drama in 3 Acts) (Composite recording)

01   Prelude (1. Act)
02   The storm drove me here (1. Scene)
03   This house and this wife
04   Evil fortune's never far from me
05   There he lay, feeble and faint (2. Scene)
06   Through field and forest
07   Friedmund no one could call me
08   The Neidings raided again
09   So the Norn who dealt you this fate
10   I know a troublesome race
11   A sword was pledged by my father (3. Scene)
12   Are you awake?
13   My husband's kinsmen
14   Yes, loveliest bride
15   Winter storms have vanished
16   You are the Spring
17   Oh sweetest enchantment
18   The stream has shown my reflected face
19   Siegmund call me, and Siegmund am I!
20   Siegmund, the Wälsung, here you see!

Disc 2 of 4

01   Go bridle your horse, warrior maid! (2. Act, 1. Scene)
02   Hoyotoho! Hoyotoho!
03   The usual storm, the usual strife!
04   Pretend that you don't understand!
05   Now it's come to pass!
06   So this is the end of the gods amd their glory
07   You never learn what I would teach you
08   What must I do?
09   Hiaha! Hiaha! Hoyotoho!
10   Fricka has won the fight (2. Scene)
11   When youth's delightful pleasures had waned
12   She refused to reveal more about it
13   There's more to tell
14   Yet one can accomplish what I may may not
15   But the Wälsung, Siegmund
16   Then Siegmund must fall in his fight?
17   I give you my blöessing, Niblung son!
18   No, have mercy

Disc 3 of 4

01   So I obey his command
02   Rest here for a while; stay by my side! (3. Scene)
03   Away! Away!
04   Where are you, Siegmund?
05   Siegmund! Look at me! (4. Scene)
06   And if I come
07   Then greet for me Wallhall
08   Woe! Woe! Sister and bride
09   Two lives now lie in your power
10   Charmes of sleep are sent to still (5. Scene)
11   I hear your call
12   Wehwalt! Wehwalt!

Disc 4 of 4

01   Hoyotoho! Hoyotoho! (3. Act, 1. Scene)

06   O radiant wonder!
07   Stay, Brünnhild!
08   Where is Brünnhild? (2. Scene)
09   Weak-spirited, womanish brood!
10   Here am I, father
11   No more will you ride from Wallhall
12   Didi you not hear what I decreed?
13   Was it so shameful? (3. Scene)
14   I know so little
15   You, who this love into my heart revealted
16   You ingulged your love
17   Unworth of you this foolish maid
18   You fathered a glorious race
19   In long, deep sleep
20   Farewell, my valiant, glorious child!
21   These eyes so warm and so bright
22   Loge, hear! Come at my call!
23   Magic Fire Music
