Philharmonia Zurich (Zurich Opera House Orchestra) - Wagner: Preludes And Interludes - 2 CD Import CD With Japan Obi

Description:

This album was carefully recorded in the studio, and Luisi's precise and passionate conducting has paid off handsomely, maintaining the enthusiasm of a live performance and enhancing the musicality of the music. Luisi himself has carefully selected the music, including the prelude to "Parsifal," which is closely associated with the Zurich Opera House, at the beginning of the program. The final section includes the overtures to Wagner's first opera "The Fairy" and his second opera "Love is Forbidden," two of his earliest works that show the influence of Berlioz. Luisi shows his ability as an opera conductor to build on Wagner's works, which are even more mythological and sensual in their music, by successfully drawing out the unique swells and mellow sounds from the orchestra. Imported, with Japanese obi and commentary. Recorded: Fall 2014, Opera Zurich (session/digital) [Performed by] Philharmonia Zurich (Zurich Opera Orchestra), Fabio Luisi (conductor)
