Title: Wrong from the start!
Review: From the very first bars, I couldn't get over the feeling of absolute wrongness about the wole thing. The sound seems to come out of a cavernous and heavily reverberant blackness and lacks the warm intimate spirituality that Kna was famous for. Act 1 is a write-off, neatly summarized in the grandiose and self-indulgent transformation scene. The recording fares better as the work progresses, though. Norman is the reason to get this set, as Domingo, one of the better voices in the title role, amounts to nothing more than a curiousity dramatically. Moll is good, but was in better surroundings with Karajan. Get either of Knappertbusch's, or go to Karajan or Solti!
