专辑简介
The production enshrined in this live recording was one of the epoch-making theatrical events of the twentieth century. The new broom at Bayreuth in this first post-war season, the composer’s grandson Wieland Wagner, chose Parsifal, with its themes of purification and redemption, as the ideal vehicle for cleansing the Festspielhaus after the disgrace of the Third Reich, when Wagner’s music had been adopted by the Nazis and Hitler himself had been an honoured guest at Bayreuth. In keeping with this ethos of newness, Wieland swept away all the old-fashioned ideas of production and presented a stark, almost empty stage picture, sombrely lit. In such a simple setting, acting and characterisation assumed primary importance, so the singers were meticulously rehearsed in the psychological implications of their r?les. The production was revived countless times and its impact is still being felt today; but it was also momentous on the musical side, bringing forward such ‘new men’ as Windgassen, van Mill and London alongside established stars such as M?dl, Uhde and Weber. In charge of these wonderful singers and the handpicked chorus and orchestra was the craggy figure of Hans Knappertsbusch, who never did anything finer than this set, the first complete recording of Parsifal. Bayreuth that year was also a magnet for the record companies. EMI was there to record the Ninth Symphony under Furtw?ngler and Die Meistersinger under Karajan, while Decca was doing the first Ring cycle (of which only the last part was actually taped) and Parsifal. The engineer Kenneth Wilkinson made various experiments and finally slung a single microphone high up in the auditorium, blending the sound from that vantage point with the output from closer microphones. The result was a sound of immense atmosphere, helped by the famous cowl which at Bayreuth veiled the orchestra. The Festspielhaus, in which the singers could advance over the orchestra and therefore always be heard, played its part. The recording, with an almost ideal blend of warmth and clarity for its time, still sounds amazingly good; and the interpretation, edited by the producer John Culshaw from the general rehearsal and two performances, has stood the test of time.
