Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

Directed for Stage by Wolfgang Wagner. Recorded live at the Festspielhaus, Bayreuth, 21–30


Robert Holl, Peter Seiffert, Emily Magee & Andreas Schmidt

Chor & Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele, Daniel Barenboim

Staged and directed by Richard Wagner’s grandson Wolfgang Wagner at the Bayreuther Festspiele in 1999, this production of Wagner’s only comic opera features an all-star cast and the Bayreuther Festspiele chorus and orchestra under the direction of Daniel Barenboim

Wolfgang Wagner’s timeless staging of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg is “exhilaratingly conducted” (Gramophone) by Daniel Barenboim. Alongside him is Robert Holl as a Sachs of “innate wisdom” and Peter Seiffert’s “glorious Walther” (Classics Today)

“The staging is the undoubtedly loving work of a cultured man who knows the piece inside out and wishes to represent it faithfully but whose other duties have prevented his developing any especially distinctive style of his own. The wonderful women, Mesdames Magee and Svendén, however, get there on their own and their dignity and detail are worth watching. Apart from them, and the sexy aeroplane choreography of the "girls from Fürth"... the main attractions of the release lie in Daniel Barenboim's beautifully limned and paced account of the score.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue
