His mastery of the score’s tonal subtleties, its depth and luminosity, has not been equaled. I hear echoes of Parsifal everywhere here.
Ernest Ansermet was a great opera conductor
Although Ernest Ansermet is most often associated with orchestral music, his 1964 recording of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande is still my favorite.
