He is a knight torn between the delights of Venus and their selfless love of a virtuous woman.
Dir t�ne Lob!
Stets soll nur dir, nun dir mein Lied ertonen!
O Furstin
O Wolfram, der du also sangest
Ha, tor'ger Prahler Biterolf!
Dir, Gottin der Liebe, soll mein Lied ertonen!
Zum Heil den Sundigen zu fuhren
Ich horte Harfenschlag - wie klang er traurig!
Inbrunst im Herzen, wie ein Buber noch
Dahin zog's mich, wo ich der Wonn und Lust

Peter Seiffert
His singing was brilliantly colored, vigorous and tender; it was the sound of a man who might plausibly have overawed his fellow troubadours and won the sexual attentions of Venus through the majesty of his voice....His tone was sinewy, clear and seemingly effortless, with a bright metallic sheen that still left plenty of room for warmth. He negotiated Wagner's more melodic passages securely while mustering plenty of juice for the more dramatic outbursts. And if Seiffert proved to be something less than a nuanced stage actor, the vitality and beauty of his singing more than compensated./ Review
