* About the recording
Knappertsbusch is widely considered as being among the greatest Wagner conductors of all time. His renditions have a strong distinguishing feature: they are slow and massive in order to achieve an overwhelming tension and drama - far from hysterical and nervous interpretations that were more in vogue in the second half of the XXth century.
The casting is lavish, between Birgit Nilsson in her prime and Gottlob Frick with his bass voice incredibly dark and deep.
The sound is okay thanks to Orfeo remastering: really not bad for a live recording from 1955, but saturate easily when too loud.
