Reviewers were united in praise of Eberhard Waechter’s Amfortas, though some felt him to be too young. Gottlob Frick, too, earned unstinting praise, and deserved it – how many Wagner performances at Covent Garden he saved with the magnificence of his singing and his simple, intelligent acting!
This may not be the most overwhelming performance of Parsifal, but there are few that rival it in its warm humanity, a cardinal quality of this last masterwork, which is often overlooked by performers and by spectator-listeners.
