DVD Reviews of Max Lorenz: Wagner's Mastersinger - Hitler's Siegfried
DVD Review: A Glimpse into Hitler's Germany
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fascinating document that left me wanting more, more footage, more singing, background. Lorenz was a fascinating complex man who in spite of being married to a Jew and a practicing "bi-sexual" he was able to remain in Nazi Germany without any persecution to him, his wife and his mother-in-law! He was apparently caught "in flagrante" and his crimianal prosecution was announced. Obviously his presence at Bayreuth was in doubt. Winifred advised that the festival would have to close down without Lorenz; this was sufficient to provide him with protection until after the war.
Fischer-Dieskau, Hilda Zakek, Rene Kollo and Waldemar Knmett (sp?) offer their observations and it is fascinating to watch Kollo mouth the text as Lorenz sings. The author of a biography of the artist is also present to offer his observations. It is highly unlikely that this book will ever see an English translation.
Medici Arts also provice a recording the of Act I Siegfried the sound of which is poor. Would that a better memorial of his art could have been chosen. Even so I recommend this DVD for its many virtues.

Description of Max Lorenz: Wagner's Mastersinger - Hitler's Siegfried
Max Lorenz was at the height of his career as a heldentenor in 1941. As a homosexual with a Jewish wife in Nazi Germany, who also protected his wife s mother, he would have faced deportation. However, as Hitler s favourite tenor and a symbol of his times, he was able to survive due to the protection of Hitler and Göring. This gripping, well-researched documentary which is nominated for the FIPA festival boasts original footage of Max Lorenz, Haus Wahnfried and Hitler s visits to Bayreuth (e.g. the first coloured picture of Hitler). Includes interviews with great artists such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and René Kollo. Includes a bonus CD with previously unreleased material of Max Lorenz.Bestsellers in DVD
