Listen to a Sample:

Pros:

  • Erich Kleiber weaves his special brand of musical magic into Wagner's final opera and is well-supported by the fine playing of the orchestra ot the Teatro Colón.
  • Torsten Ralf burly, yet lyric, tenor is a perfect fit for the title role.
  • Kundry doesn't have much to do in Act I, but Rose Bampton manages to stand out, particularly in Kundry's last lines before the transition to the second scene.

Cons:

  • The pitch on the master was somewhat inconsistant throughout the recording. I did my best to realign it.
