www.deutschegrammophon.com Watch this trailer on René Pape’s upcoming all-Wagner project, a matter of the heart to Dresden-born bass René Pape. His perfect diction, bel canto beauty of tone, and psychological penetration make him one of our day’s most capable − and celebrated — Wagnerians. Assembled for this is a prestigious team not to be excelled. Daniel Barenboim, renowned for the sensuality of his Wagner, conducts the Staatskapelle Berlin, the maestro’s long-time collaborators. Excerpts from such Pape signature roles as Gurnemanz and the Rheingold Wotan are complemented by a terrific teaser of a part Pape has yet to reveal on stage − his eagerly anticipated Hans Sachs, the noble cobbler of Die Meistersinger. In addition to cuts from Lohengrin, Tannhäuser, and Walküre, a special treat features tenor Plácido Domingo with Pape in a scene from Parsifal.
