Interesting historical artifact
Tom Moran | 03/08/2002
(3 out of 5 stars)

"This CD contains 11 opera excerpts, 2 from Das Rheingold, 1 from Die Walkure, 3 from Siegfried, and 5 from Parsifal. Considering the time period of these recordings, they don't sound too bad, technically speaking. The Ring tracks suffer from extremely poor orchestral intonation (the Bayreuth orchestra sounds like a mediocre community group under the direction of Franz von Hoesslin). The performances in the Parsifal selections are much more accurate. The singing is especially strong and clearly recorded. This CD might be of interest to serious listeners who want a historical perspective."
