Think i will have some Parsifal today. Inspired by a drawing one of my students has done of Parsifal and Kundry from the New York Met's new production.
I have yet to see the Barenboim DVD but have the Otvos conducted DVD from La Fenice with Richard Decker as Parsifal. I really enjoy this version.
Have yet to get the opera on cd...but with so many new versions out there in the last year am sure it is just a matter of time.
Borrowed this from my library & really enjoying it. Doing some homework in preparation for my weekend at Buxton Festival.
