Review of Oscar Thompson in Musical America
Beginning the Wagner Cycle
Maria Muller returned to the Metropolitan for the [first] opera of the special Wagner cycle, "Die Meistersinger" on Feb. 7. She sang Eva prettily, though her upper tones were not always in their best estate. Friedrich Schorr, if also in something less than his finest vocal fettle, renewed the admiration in which his Hans Sachs has been held since it was first disclosed in New York. Marion Telva and George Meader as Magdalene and David met the requirements of their roles, and Leon Rothier did what he could to be a German Pogner. Exaggeration of the farcical implications of the character again marred Gustav Schützendorff's Beckmesser, and the Kothner of Arnold Gabor was as unsatisfactory as this same singer's Night Watchman was creditable. All the faults attributable to German tenors were inescapable in the singing of Rudolf Laubenthal as Walther. Mr. Bodanzky's ensemble was not one notable for smoothness or surety.
