Hans KnappertsbuschAbout
Critic William H Youngren writes in his liner notes: “When I reflect on what was unique about Knappertsbusch’s work, Wagner’s tempo direction ‘Lebhaft, doch gewichtig’ [lively, yet weighty] comes to mind. At his best, Knappertsbusch was able to create impressive masses of sound that moved, even at slow tempos, with an inner rhythmic life that propelled the drama forward yet also, even at fast tempos, seemed never to rush along unduly, seemed always to leave the listener time to experience everything as it went by.”
“The cast would be hard to better at any time, let alone now... Knappertsbusch’s rare sense of Wagner’s scoring, as well as his mastery of the formal architecture, are splendidly apparent.” - David Cairns, The Sunday Times
