Overview

This album presents a pivotal scene from Richard Wagner’s Parsifal, featuring a stellar cast of performers under the baton of Dr. Karl Muck. The 3. Aufzug (Act 3) of Parsifal unfolds with a captivating blend of vocal power and orchestral depth, brought to life by the Choir of the Staatsoper Berlin, conducted by Muck, with chorus master Hugo Rüdel overseeing the choir. The dramatic tension of the opera is beautifully conveyed through the emotive performances of tenor Gotthelf Pistor as Parsifal, baritone Cornelis Bronsgeest as Amfortas, and bass Ludwig Hofmann as Gurnemanz. This release from Lebendige Vergangenheit captures the essence of Wagner's epic work with lush orchestration and thrilling vocal interpretation.
