About
“Barenboim is always most impressively heard in works of the grandest, most soul-searching kind – and he meets splendidly this most formidable challenge of all,” wrote Gramophone when this Parsifal, recorded in the famous Jesus-Christus Kirche with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, was released in 1991. Siegfried Jerusalem is golden-toned in the title role, Waltraud Meier proves why she was the defining Kundry of her era and, as Amfortas, José van Dam suffers with the utmost nobility.
