However, as Hitler's favourite tenor and a symbol of his times, he was protected by Hitler and Goring. 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 Rene Kollo. Includes a CD with previously unreleased material of Max Lorenz' Siegfried interpretation.
