Textures have lightened, tempos are faster and Wagner's long arcs soar instead of sag. These qualities characterize Knappertsbusch's \"official\" 1962 Philips \u003ci\u003eParsifal\u003c\/i\u003e , but 1964 has a better cast. Hotter relishes Gurnemanz's long, inward monologues while, by contrast, Vickers projects the title role with wound-up intensity. Thomas Stewart's Amfortas bears his tortured burden with more dignity than usual and the unsung (no pun intended) Barbro Ericson is as complete, complex and affecting a Kundry as one can get. If you've been hankering for a Knappertsbusch \u003ci\u003eParsifal\u003c\/i\u003e , this is the one. Fine mono broadcast sound but no texts. --Jed \u003ci\u003eDistler\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 090317699721\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0090317699721\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42519890362627,"sku":"V1-WSJC-YA5N","price":6.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/61JvkUGW9SL.jpg?v=1645890930","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/symphonic-tango","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
