Wagner: Parsifal - Vinay, Mödl, Greindl, Fischer-Dieskau, Hotter; Knappertsbusch. Bayreuth, 1956
$16.95
Description:
Ramón Vinay and Martha Mödl were both brilliant performers, but when paired together, they ignited a unique kind of electricity that surpassed even their individual brilliance. Vinay sings with astonishing beauty and power, his Parsifal both heroic and vulnerable. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, in a rare appearance as Amfortas, delivers a deeply anguished portrayal with vocal radiance that few could match. Josef Greindl brings a gruff, grounded bass to Gurnemanz, lending the character a relatable, everyman quality. At the helm, Hans Knappertsbusch shapes the work with his signature breadth and grandeur.
Although the sound is generally good, there is some occasional light distortion.
