- I believe the PARSIFAL on this so-called Bayreuth
- edition is conducted by James Levine. Certainly not
- the premier choice from Bayreuth. It may even not be
- the best/only Levine commercial recording much
- longer...
- watch his DG PARSIFAL coming soon with Domingo,
- Norman and Sotin/Moll(?)!

- In case my memory is not serving me quite right, a
- recent (last month's) issue of Gramophone lists all the
- releases of this series with accompanying reviews.

- The full Solti cycle is available on Decca in England
- at mid-price...but you have to pay in pounds. I don't
- think it is available at less than full price in this
- country, yet. However you can buy them individually at
- half the list price through the BMG cd club. Or wait
- for the BIG sale at your neighbourhood Wagner dealer!
