Wagner: The Flying Dutchman

Description

Filmed at a series of outstanding concerts at the Teatro Real de Madrid in December 2016, this recording will delight lovers of Wagnerian music drama. It faithfully recreates the grandiose staging by Àlex Ollé, a member of La Fura dels Baus, whose earlier productions have attracted widespread attention. Equally at home in Monteverdi, Boulez, Praetorius and Schumann, Pablo Heras-Casado leads a cast, featuring Kwangchul Youn and Ingela Brimeberg, in performances that are totally committed to this breathtaking work.
