Wagner: Parsifal (Excerpts)
Ralf, Weber, Janssen; Reiner
London, 1937
$5.95
Description:
This recording offers a tantalizing glimpse of Fritz Reiner as a Wagnerian interpreter. Known more for his clarity and precision, Reiner leans here into the romanticism of the score, embracing rubato and rounding out the edges with a supple touch that brings unexpected warmth to the music. The cast is excellent, with Ludwig Weber standing out as a deeply felt and vocally commanding Gurnemanz. The performance feels both intimate and expansive, making it a rewarding listen for those curious to hear Wagner shaped through Reiner’s distinctive musical lens.
