When he records Parsifal in studio, in 1972—three years after Pierre Boulez—Sir Georg Solti still possesses all of his vocal glories from his youth. After the majestic recording of Ring, Decca gathers around him an exceptional Areopagus: Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hans Hotter, Gottlob Frick, René Kollo, Zoltán Kelemen, Christia Ludwig, Robert Tear and no less than the best flower maidens that are called Popp, Te Kanawa, Howells and Knight.
This is also the time of legendary sound takes by the English label, in which the balance between the vocals and the orchestra is almost ideal, with a really successful spatialization and a captivating sound impressiveness thanks to a Vienna Symphony Orchestra more sensual than ever. In studio, everything is thought-out, measured, idealized, far from the stage and its risk-taking, but the result is an absolute success. We don’t know what to admire more between the incredible, monstrous, frenzied Kundry of Christa Ludwig or the Parsifal filled with a still adolescent sweetness of René Kollo, without mentioning the chiseled and particularly sparkling direction from Solti. It’s a reference worth listening to (or listening to again), especially in the majestic HD remaster that is now proposed by the publisher. © François Hudry/Qobuz
