Josef Greindl had a voice like a gravel quarry—massive, wide, deep, rough, and ancient-sounding, grey-timbred rather than black.

He frequently appeared as Fafner, Hunding, and Hagen in the same performance of the "Ring Cycle", which made him the only singer in the cast who had to perform all four nights. His earliest recorded singing was at Bayreuth, as Pogner the goldsmith, a character in his fifties or sixties, in 1943 when he (Greindl) was 31 years old.

But, after all, only his friends could share the privilege of owning his finest paintings.
