From Wagner's "Die Walküre", here is Brunnhilde in Act 2
with Siegmund (Jon Vickers) in a section beginning
"Der dir nun folgt" and from Act 3 with
Sieglinde (Leonie Rysanek) "Fort den eile......"
and also from Act 3 pleading with Wotan (Hans Hotter)
to protect her with fire "Auf dein gebot....".
Hans Knappertsbusch conducts this performance from the Bayreuth Festival of 1958.
