¡Wagner: The Flying Dutchman
¡Classical V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] In 1957 and 1958, Savarisch conducted only Tristan and Isolde, but in 1959, he also conducted The Wandering Dutchman for the first time to great acclaim. The 1961 stereo live recording (starring Grindl, Silja, and others) is widely known today, but this 1959 disc is most impressive for the dynamic music created by Sawallisch's ambitious conducting. The aggressive tempo of this recording not only creates tension throughout, but the singers also sing with great enthusiasm, especially Ryszanek, who sings Zenta. The role of the Dutchman is played by London, who has a reputation for elegant and charming singing, and Grindl, a veteran singer who has sung at Bayreuth since 1943.
