CD95804 PARSIFAL ORTF 1989
A warm Easter wish to all members.
Here is an ORTF recording broadcast by the BBC at Easter in 1989. It is not
quite complete. It was made on reel-to-reel tape (relatively very expensive,
and for me, in short supply!), then transferred to DAT then to CD. No date of
performance was given, nor the identity of Amfortas (!), so if any member could
provide these details it would be most appreciated.
The recording (listen to the harps after "öffnet den Schrein") and cast are
magnificent, and the recording is especially valuable for the wonderful
jugendlich Tenor of Eberhard Büchner in the title role, fabulously secure in
all registers.
