Details:
Legendary voices, such as Birgit Nilsson and Set Svanholm, captured in hitherto unpublished live recordings of performances at the Royal Swedish Opera. And just look at some of the artists taking smaller roles in the ‘Parsifal’ excerpts, at the start of their careers in 1956 – Elisabeth Söderström, Kerstin Meyer, and Ingvar Wixell all went on to gain major international recognition. Another treasure-trove for opera-lovers. Artists include: Set Svanholm (ten. – Tannhäuser, Parsifal, Siegfried), Margareta Bergström (sop. – Venus, Kundry), Sigurd Björling (bar. – Eschenbach, Amfortas), Anna-Greta Söderholm (sop. – Elisabeth), Birgit Nilsson (sop. – Brünnhilde), Royal Opera Chorus & Royal Swedish Orchestra cond. Sixten Ehrling. Sung in Swedish – live, unpublished house recordings.
