Denoke is always striking as Kundry but doesn't have quite a large enough voice for the demanding role. The minor roles are well taken. And the orchestra covers itself with glory, tirelessly magnificent for all 270 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  – BBC Music Magazine\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  This is a well-thought-through production whose ideas don’t fight against the music. In musical terms, too, this is a simply excellent performance. Gurnemanz is a role that René Pape might have been born to sing. Finley is similarly balm to the ears as Amfortas. Denoke seizes every dramatic opportunity which the role gives her.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  – MusicWeb International\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Richard Wagner\u003cbr\u003e  PARSIFAL\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Parsifal - Simon O’Neill\u003cbr\u003e  Gurnemanz - René Pape\u003cbr\u003e  Kundry \/ Voice from Above - Angela Denoke\u003cbr\u003e  Amfortas - Gerald Finley\u003cbr\u003e  Klingsor - Willard White\u003cbr\u003e  Titurel - Robert Lloyd\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Royal Opera Chorus and Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e  (chorus master: Renato Balsadonna)\u003cbr\u003e  Antonio Pappano, conductor\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Stephen Langridge, stage director\u003cbr\u003e  Alison Chitty, set and costume designer\u003cbr\u003e  Paul Pyant, lighting designer\u003cbr\u003e  Dan O’Neill, choreographer\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, February 2014\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Bonus:\u003cbr\u003e  - Interviews with Antonio Pappano and Simon O’Neill\u003cbr\u003e  - Cast gallery\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  Picture format: 1080i High Definition\u003cbr\u003e  Sound format: LPCM 2.0 \/ DTS 5.1\u003cbr\u003e  Region code: 0 (worldwide)\u003cbr\u003e  Subtitles: English, French, German, Japanese, Korean\u003cbr\u003e  Running time: 270 mins (opera) + 25 mins (bonus)\u003cbr\u003e  No. of Discs: 2 (Blu-ray)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Blu-Ray","offer_id":49731257696536,"sku":"809478071594","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/2805002.jpg?v=1777683333","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/wagner-parsifal-9","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
