5.0 out of 5 stars A superb PARSIFAL, June 13, 2000

This review is from: Parsifal (Audio CD)

When the Rudolf Moralt PARSIFAL appeared on CD several years ago, FANFARE Wagner critic Bill Youngren gave it a glowing review. Since then numerous Wagnerians and music-lovers have discovered this early (1948/49) Vienna broadcast performance. Ludwig Weber, the Gurnemanz, is truly remarkable; here, a couple of years before his famous Bayreuth performance, he excells on all counts, rivalling Han Hotter in interpretative skill and surpassing him in vocal beauty. Indeed, this may be the finest Gurnemanz committed to disc, and that says quite a lot. Gunther Treptow--a true heldentenor will not rival Melchior, Windgassen, or Svanholm in their finest moments, but here he does quite well, his clarion tones easily encompassing Parsifal's music; Konetzni's Kundry copes quite well with her second act scenes. Moralt conducts a fine performance, perhaps not as spiritual or expansive as Knappertsbusch in his various outings, but nevertheless engaging. The Myto CDs are in excellent mono sound.
