Staatskapelle Berlin, Staatsopernchor, Konzertchor der Staatsoper, Daniel Barenboim & Dmitri Tcherniakov (director)
Anja Kampe, most intense of Wagnerian singing actresses, goes all the pitiful way; I wept for her in Act III, and began to see a big love story between her and tortured adolescent Parsifal. Andreas... — More…

Orchestre symphonique de la Monnaie, Hartmut Haenchen (conductor) & Romeo Castellucci (stage director)
This is an impressive but wildly idiosyncratic account of Wagner's last drama, at any rate from the visual and dramatic point of view...Fortunately the musical side of things, under Hartmut Haenchen,... — More…

Staatskapelle Berlin, Daniel Barenboim
Daniel Barenboim conducts his excellent forces as if he really does believe in the work, and the result…is that, though the work may not completely convince, there is far too much powerful music... — More…

Staatskapelle Berlin, Staatsopernchor, Konzertchor der Staatsoper, Daniel Barenboim & Dmitri Tcherniakov (director)

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle, Stéphane Braunschweig
Sir Willard White's patriarchal Wotan seems subtler on screen, more smouldering than stiff, and sings richly… Eva Johansson's… makes a fiery, youthful Brünnhilde, more at one with her fellow... — More…
