Wagner: Parsifal (Act III)
Hartmann, Weber, Larcén, Reinmar; Knappertsbusch
Berlin, 1942
$2.98
Description:
This poignant World War II–era performance of Parsifal features an inspired cast of fresh-voiced Wagnerians. At the center is Ludwig Weber, whose Gurnemanz is a model of dignity and gravitas. His warm, resonant bass and noble phrasing give the role a spiritual authority that anchors the entire performance.
Hans Knappertsbusch conducts with his trademark breadth and depth, making time seem to stand still. His pacing is unhurried yet full of purpose, drawing the listener into a meditative, almost otherworldly soundscape that perfectly suits Wagner's final masterpiece.
