Opis: Wagner: Der Fliegende Hollander - George London, Leonie Rysanek, Josef Greindl, Fritz Uhl, Bayreuth Festival Orchestra & Chorus

Wagners early masterpiece is heard in an authoritative, truly classic performance from the composers own theater in Bayreuth, Germany, the shrine and Mecca of the true Wagnerite. Some of the greatest singers of the era lead the cast, including Canadian- American bass-baritone George London (1920 1979), the first American ever to sing the Dutchman at Bayreuth; beloved Viennese soprano Leonie Rysanek (19261998), known as the Queen of Hearts at the Salzburg Festival; and German bass Josef Greindl (19121993), a stalwart of the Deutsche Oper, Berlin, where he sang in 1,369 performances, mostly Wagner! The opera was inspired by Wagners reading of a book by Heinrich Heine, Edward Fitzballs The Flying Dutchman or The Phantom Ship, and Wilhelm Hayff s Geisterschiff (Ghost Ship), as well as his own perilous sea voyage in 1839. Der fliegende Holländer is one of the most vivid and colorful of all German Romantic operas, with music that is often hair-raisingly exciting. This masterful performance has long been considered one of the most thrilling ever recorded. Opera dOros Grand Tier series presents the best-selling Opera dOro titles with libretto and deluxe new packaging at mid-price. The Opera dOro series has been an unqualified success in the budget category.
