The same may be said of Marianne Brandt, who sang the part of Kundry at the second "Parsifal" representation at Bayreuth, having been Frau Materna's alternate in 1882. With her superbly rich, deep-toned voice and her splendid vocal and dramatic control she thrilled her audiences in her Wagnerian rôles, in Beethoven's "Fidelio," and in all she attempted, whether in opera or concert.
Heretofore she has not always succeeded in holding her own against the full orchestra, but in her latest and greatest impersonation Brünnhilde, in "Die Götterdämmerung" her voice rivalled Materna's in power without losing a shade of its sensuous beauty, which is always enchanting.
