Track 10: This Act 1 Parsifal excerpt comprises lines of Titurel and Amfortas, both sung by Lestelly. It begins with Titurel’s words “Mein Sohn Amfortas, bist du am Amt?”, followed by Amfortas’s reply “Wehe! Wehe mir der Qual!” The recording ends just before the raising up of the grail by Amfortas. | ||
