Seven years later, Knappertsbusch recorded four great Wagner scenes for Decca with George London. The recording appears here in its entirety. It’s supplemented with one of the great scenes from their 1962 performance of ‘Parsifal’ (recorded ‘live’ at the Bayreuth Festival’, it went on to become one of most venerated recordings of this opera) and the closing scene of ‘Rheingold’ in which London appears on the celebrated Solti recording as Wotan.

Hans Knappertsbusch, Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper. Wagner notes that artists complain that economic uncertainty following the 1848 revolutions has damaged their prospects. But such materialistic complaints are selfish and unjustified. Only the great Revolution of Mankind, whose beginnings erstwhile shattered Grecian Tragedy, can win for us this Art-work.

With an unmatched postwar cast of George London as Amfortas, Martti Talvela as Titurel, Hans Hotter as Gurnemanz, Gustav Neidlinger as Klingsor, and Jess Thomas in the title role, plus the unfailingly idiomatic Bayreuth Festival Orchestra and stereo sound so real you can smell in the incense, Knapperstbusch 's Parsifal was then, is now, and forever shall be the one true Parsifal.
