Opera Depot had another copy of this available for a number of years. I reviewed it, enjoying the performance, but grousing about the mediocre sound. Andy has obtained a new master that is in much better sound. There are still a few volume drops (one early on in Act 1), but they don't last long. Also missing is the file corruption (what Andy calls "skipping") that plagued the end of disc 1. This still doesn't match the best sound of some of the other Bayreuth Parsifal broadcasts, but it is now very listenable and the singers come through more clearly.King isn't the deepest of Parsifals; others bring more variety to the naïve fool, yet his singing is always strong and attractive. Dvorakova is a tremendously good Kundry, one who makes a strong impression even in the first act. She nails the difficult drop from high B down to low C# on "lachte" and elsewhere easily seduces with her darker mezzo-tinted soprano. Her performance comes up significantly better in this remastering.Crass is a marvelous Gurnemanz (listen to the ring on the high E in the Act 3 baptism scene) and Stewart is just as good as Amfortas. Nienstedt stands out as an especially nasty, yet vulnerable Klingsor. It is easy to recognize Helga Dernesch's voice as one of the flower maidens. Stein knew how to lead this opera without becoming self-indulgent.Recommended to all Bayreuth Parsifal lovers!
