Hans Hotter
Born: 19th January 1909, Offenbach am Main, Hesse
Died: 8th December 2003
Nationality: German
Hans Hotter was especially known for his portrayal of Wotan in Der Ring des Nibelungen. At the end of his prime vocal powers, his interpretation of Wotan in the operas Die Walkure and Siegfried was documented as part of the first commercial recording of the cycle in the early 1960s, with conductor Georg Solti and record producer John Culshaw. He also directed a complete Ring at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden from 1961 to 1964. His magnificent portrayal of Gurnemanz in Parsifal was captured on record in Hans Knappertsbusch's second live recording at Bayreuth.
