Wagner really did his best to make us hate Ortrud. There are three moments in Lohengrin when she steps front and center and screams at the audience accompanied by the orchestra at full blast. It's a mezzo role, but Wagner was cruel - he gives her relentless lines that sit far too high for any normal mezzo, so what you get is a screechy, out-of-control witch. That is, until Frau Ludwig came along with this recording and proved that, with the right voice and technique, Ortrud can steal the show away from Wagner's precious tenor and soprano couple.
The 1964 Rudolf Kempe recording still stands in many lists as the best Lohengrin to date - and that's, despite Jess Thomas as a stuffy, boring Lohengrin and Elisabeth Grümmer as Elsa the Whiny. (And don't get me started on the Herald - I want the King to kick his ass into the pit.) No, this show is all about the villains. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in his early, heavy days is ideal as the desperate, powerless Telramund, and his duet with Christa Ludwig is opera heaven. The orchestra is immaculate, with brass that knock you off your chair. EMI's sound here still stands after 45 years as exactly how operas should be recorded.
Ortrud:
Go home!
Go home, you proud "hero!"
So that I can tell your blushing bride who that swan is that pulls your boat...
I recognized him by my magic chain around his neck - this is the Heir of Brabant!
Chorus:
Ah!
Ortrud:
I thank you all for driving the "Savior" away!
And now the swan will take him home.
If your hero had stayed any longer, he would have freed the Heir, too!
Chorus:
Loathsome woman! What a monstrous crime!
Ortrud:
Thus shall you all learn how the true gods punish those who turn away from them!
