{"product_id":"0095115314821","title":"Wagner: The Mastersingers Of Nuremberg [Sung In English]","description":"For the first time ever, the legendary centenary production of Wagner's The Mastersingers, conducted by Reginald Goodall is released as a 4-CD set on Chandos Opera in English.   \u003cp\u003e  Broadcast live on the BBC from Sadler's Wells Theatre on 10 February 1968 Goodall conducted a cast of such luminaries as Alberto Remedios, Norman Bailey, Derek Hammond-Stroud, Gregory Dempsey, Margaret Curphey and Ann Robson. Following the live broadcast the recording sadly disappeared into the archives and has since become one of the most talked about ‘lost’ performances. Music-lovers have regularly contacted Chandos requesting its release on Opera in English and it is one that Sir Peter Moores was determined to make happen. It even led to an appeal for indivduals’ recordings of the broadcast!   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This 4-CD set has subsequently been re-mastered from a BBC Radio live broadcast and is released at the price of 3 CDs. The sound quality reflects the fact it is a 1968 ‘live’ recording and some deterioration is evident although this does not detract from the fantastic performance value.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Nicholas Payne writes of Goodall’s Mastersingers “the rise and fall of Goodall’s orchestra is drenched in tears which encompass both supreme joy and unrequited sorrow. Goodall sensed that the generosity of spirit which inhabited Sadler’s Wells and its company in the final years at that theatre would never be recaptured.” \u003ci\u003eFrom the Label\u003c\/i\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NAXOS OF AMERICA, INC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084998492400,"sku":"0095115314821","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0095115314821_p0.jpg?v=1763424306","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0095115314821","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
