Parsifal

0 - Default Title
Description
This masterful interpretation of German and Christian mythology was Wagner's last opera. Presented on a two-disc set, this performance--musically, a masterwork--resonates with the most profound beliefs of the German "Weltanschauung." Director Hans-Jurgen Syberberg has stamped his own controversial and unmistakable style on the film. Parsifal is a medieval symbol of purity and innocence. Here, the search for the Holy Grail and the king's powerful, sacred spear leads, through a single kiss, to the knowledge and grace of redemption. The actors perform to a recording made expressly for this film, featuring singers Reiner Goldberg, Wolfgang Schone, Hans Tschammer, Yvonne Minton and the Prague Philharmonic Choir, with Armin Jordan conducting the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra. 255 minutes. Amfortas: Armin Jordan (sung by Wolfgang Schöne) Titurel: Martin Sperr (sung by Hans Tschammer) Gurnemanz: Robert Lloyd Parsifal 1: Michael Kutter Parsifal 2: Karen Krick (sung by Reiner Goldberg) Klingsor: Aage Haugland Kundry: Edith Clever (sung by Yvonne Minton)
