Release Date: Friday 1 July 2011

Parsifal was Wagner's last and many say most accomplished opera, the culmination of the development of the emotional intensity of the German Romantic movement.

Containing some of the most ethereal and subtle music Wagner ever composed, Parsifal is an allegory on the conflict between Christianity and paganism, good and evil, physical passion and spiritual purity.

This full-length recording has a cast including Sir Donald McIntyre as Gurnemanz, Waltrud Meier as Kundry, Phillip Joll as Amfortas and Warren Ellsworth as Parsifal.

Accompanied by the Chorus of Welsh National Opera and the Orchestra of Welsh National Opera conducted by Reginald Goodall.

Originally recorded in 1985
