Wagner: Parsifal

Andrew Richards (Parsifal), Anna Larsson (Kundry), Jan-Hendrik Rootering (Gurnemanz), Thomas Johannes Mayer (Amfortas), Tómas Tómasson (Klingsor) & Victor von Halem (Titurel) Orchestre symphonique de la Monnaie, Hartmut Haenchen (conductor) & Romeo Castellucci (stage director)

BBC Music Magazine February 2014 **** “This is an impressive but wildly idiosyncratic account of Wagner's last drama, at any rate from the visual and dramatic point of view...Fortunately the musical side of things, under Hartmut Haenchen, is consistently at the highest level...And he has a fine set of soloists...if you think you know Parsifal well, get this.”

Gramophone Magazine February 2014 “Haenchen directs an occasional over-fervent but generally well-paced reading, and the singers are excellent. In his final exhortation to the assembled company, Andrew Richards crowns an account of the title-role that is appropriately forceful without turning blustery.”
