"Thundering applause" wrote the prestigious "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" and the "La Repubblica" appearing in Rome spoke of a "triumphant success" and the "applause storm", the Giuseppe Sinopoli and the ensemble at the Tannhäuser premiere of the Bayreuth Festival in 1989. .
Directed by Wagner's grandson Wolfgang Wagner, this production was one of the highlights of the Bayreuth Festival in the second half of the 1980s.
Wolfgang Wagner's work-faithful staging is underlined by the crystalline clarity and power of the conducting by Giuseppe Sinopoli that particularly highlights the progressive aspects of the score.
This staging brings together some of the great names and talents of Wagner's interpretation, such as Cheryl Studer - who was to become famous through this performance and whose voice is a dream come true - Wolfgang Brendel, Richard Versalle and Hans Sotin.
This recording is superbly conducted and wonderfully sung and has risen to the status of a classic almost instantly.
Giuseppe Sinopoli was one of the leading figures of all time in the Wagner scene.
