"The prime requisite in the title role of Lohengrin is for a singer who can encompass both the declamatory heroism of the Swan Knight and the sensitivity to deliver the most tenderly lyrical music Wagner wrote for a tenor in any opera before Die Walküre. James King has both qualities in abundance. Gundula Janowitz is an ideally innocent, vulnerable Elsa - far more so than Sharon Sweet for Davis, while Thomas Stewart and Gwyneth Jones as Telramund and Ortrud make a formidable pair of villains."
