Parsifal - Karfreitagszauber - John Tomlinson & Poul Elming - Richard Wagner . (multi-subs)

The Good Friday Music. Parsifal by Richard Wagner.
Daniel Barenboim / Harry Kupfer production.
My favourite Parsifal on video.
(English subtitles, Deutsche Untertitel, sous-titres Français, subtítulos en Español)

I do rather like this 1992 Berlin Staatsoper production Parsifal. Sir John Tomlinson is brilliant as Gurnemanz; he sings beautifully
and subtly captures Gunemanz's misreading of every situation.

The acting of Poul Elming and Waltraud Meier (Parsifal and Kundry) is also wonderful; Kundry has no lines durring the "Good Friday Spell" & yet I find the understanding, that seems to pass between the two, very moving.

And though he is not in this scene,
I also enjoyed Falk Struckmann's very physical Amfortas.
