Franz Konwitschny meets the music of Richard Wagner. What an ideal combination of genius and musical art with the monumental orchestra sound of the master of Bayreuth. Konwitschny can certainly be called the ideal conductor for Wagner's great ouvertures of "Tannhauser"; "The flying Dutchman", Rienzi", "Meistersinger", "Tristan und Isolde" and the highly romantic "Siegfried Idyll". All this is united on this new album. A "Must Hear" for all lovers of Wagnerian music.
