RICHARD WAGNER Tannhauser

RICHARD WAGNER Tannhauser 2DVD (All Regions) 2020

“Thundering applause” was written by the respected “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” and the “La Repubblica”, which appeared in Rome, spoke of a “triumphant success” and the “applause” that Giuseppe Sinopoli and the ensemble received at the Tannhäuser premiere of the Bayreuth Festival in 1989 ,
Directed by Wagner's grandson Wolfgang Wagner, this production was one of the highlights of the Bayreuth Festival in the second half of the 1980s.
The true-to-life staging of Wolfgang Wagner is underlined by the crystalline clarity and power of Giuseppe Sinopoli's conducting, which emphasizes the progressive aspects of the score.
This staging brings together some of the great names and talents of Wagner's interpretation, such as Cheryl Studer - who was to become famous for this performance and whose voice is a dream come true -, Wolfgang Brendel, Richard Versalle and Hans Sotin.
This recording is superbly conducted and wonderfully sung and has almost instantly risen to the status of a classic.
Giuseppe Sinopoli was one of the leading figures of all time in the Wagner scene.
