Wagner: Parsifal
Kollo, Hoffman, Siepi, Kerns, Pernstorfer; Vanderzand
Wien, 1971
$18.95
Description:
The highlight of this performance of Parsifal is the Gurnemanz portrayed by Cesare Siepi. Siepi brings elegant tone and a sublime sense of phrasing to the role, and his command of the German text is surprisingly convincing. However, he occasionally struggles to stay in sync with the conductor, though the prompter skillfully brings him back on track. René Kollo excels in this performance, combining tonal purity with dramatic intensity. Grace Hoffman's sumptuous portrayal of Kundry is remarkable, while Charles Vanderzand offers intriguing insights into the score.
