I have always felt that both Crespin and Waechter were underrated singers. Waechter was not only an excellent Amfortas at this time he also gave performances of Wolfram and Kurnewal that have stood the test of time. Crespin recorded for both Solti and Karajan Ring cycles. Knappertsbusch is often thought of as slow but I possess PARSIFALS with Kna at the helm from 1951, 1954, 1956, 1958, 1962 AND 1964 and have heard the opera in live broadcasts many times and he actually is about the median. I think only Boulez and Clemens Krauss were much faster and Toscanini at one time held the record as the slowest.
