June 2006
At one and the same time this is a beautiful Parsifal… a modern Parsifal… and a new look at Parsifal, informed by Thielemann's experience and knowledge of a great tradition. …Domingo's… commitment to the role is undiminished and his understanding of the text is superior to earlier recordings under Levine... The high-ranging vocal landscape of Kundry's final attack on Parsifal in Act 2 pushes Meier to the limit... her phrasing and characterisation are now of almost Hotter-like perception. ...the VPO are attentive and flexible to every novel requirement, the winds (a crucial part of Thielemann's sound world for this opera) a colourful and seductive joy.
