But the Mime was splendid." And then they went back to the great Siegfried again and praised him "Perron! He was worth the rest of the performance together, he and the orchestra; but when he had sung it with the Lehmann last year, ach that was a different matter. He had gone through the part like a Siegfried inspired, and she ah divine! There was no Brünnhilde to compare with her now.

His name signified "golden star" according to Anquetil du Perron.
