The quality of this recording is unfortunately very bad. Perhaps it is the acoustics in the Hamburg State Opera, which can be good, but also miserable depending on the seat.I remembered these Parsifal Performances, which I've seen live five times, as some of my best opera experiences. It was a production of August Everding with the stage design of Ernst Fuchs (painter from the group of Viennese fantasies), which was incomparably beautiful. Since then, I have not seen any other Parsifal performance because it was hard to beat.Rysanek was still in full control of her voice, as was Peter Hofmann, who was also a feast for the eyes in his short shirt, which brought full flavor to his atmospheric figure. After Hans Hotter Martti Talvela was for me the most impressive Gurnemanz. Instead of Theo Adam, Bernd Weikl sang Amfortas with far more sonorous velvet timbre in my performances.I could say a lot about the numerous recordings from Hamburg that the OperaDepot has released. Almost all I experienced live.Regards.Yours, Peter Heine.
