I treasure a number of Solti's opera recordings. This is not one of them. The casting is all wrong-headed. Domingo does not sound idiomatic singing in German. Norman's voice is too rich for the virginal Elsa. Solti's conducting is earthbound for this most ecstatic of dramas. If you want a lyrical Lohengrin, look for Konya. If you want an incomparable Elsa, listen to Grummer. If you seek visionary conducting, try Kempe. If you want Solti at his best, purchase his Ring. Otherwise, ignore this overblown, overrated set.
