Una de las páginas más bellas e impactantes de la música de Wagner.
La voz de Stewart es impresionante, enorme registro y clara dicción. Bernstein y la Vienna le imprimen a la música un profundo sentido wagneriano.
Se escucha una amplia sonoridad muy rica en matices y efectos sinfónicos.

Was the recording engineer a horn player perchance?

[@michaelrisner9649]

I noticed that emphasized horn part at the beginning of Karajan's recording with the Berlin Phil, as well.

Bernstein's choice of tempo certainly is an acquired taste.

[@jonathanfinney7821]

There is something about LB's decisions that makes me think that he thinks that the when he conducts a piece, it is invariably the best version. It will appeal to teenagers I guess. He never knows when best to leave alone. Which is okay in Mahler, Tchaikovsky and Strauss I suppose.

The conducting is interesting. Not to my taste, especially during the Zauberfeuer music. But interesting and well executed.
