Wagner: Tannhauser / Bayreuth, Kober
Label: NAXOS Catalog: OA 1177D Format: DVD KERL YOUN EICHE ODINIUS JESATKO HEIBACH ZAUN NYLUND BAYREUTH FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA & CHORUS KOBERRichard Wagner’s Tannhäuser, a tale of the struggle between spiritual and profane love, and of redemption through love, is given a radical visual update in Sebastian Baumgarten’s controversial Bayreuth production. • Joep van Lieshout’s giant installation ‘The Technocrat’ dominates the stage, its industrial interior suggesting that Tannhäuser is in fact one big experiment. • Torsten Kerl interprets the title role, with Camilla Nylund in the role of Elisabeth. • ‘‘Camilla Nylund’s Elisabeth and Kwangchul Youn’s Landgraf deservedly received the most applause at the curtain calls.’’ (Bachtrack) Price: $57.98 |
