Mark Elder - Wagner - Lohengrin, WWV 75 (Live) - 2017, FLAC 24-96

After the enormous success of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's 2013 production of Wagner' sDer fliegende Hollander (RCO Live 14004) a follow-up was inevitable. With the eminent Wagnerian Mark Elder leading the RCO and a cast of internationally acclaimed soloists the production of Lohengrin in December, 2016 was a complete triumph. The beginning of another RCO tradition? "...Vogt's interpretation was truly superior. Elder...knew how to draw magic from the orchestra." (Peter van der Lint, Trouw). "A treat of glorious music on highest level...phenomenal achievements of all...Highlight of the season." (Erik Voermans, Het Parool).
