The second part of the show brings us past the Bayreuth Nazi Era, and all the way up to the 1951 re-opening of the Festival after the war. This podcast features a recording from the early 1920âs where the original Bayreuth Parsifal bells can be heard (they were destroyed during World War II), a recording of the âGood Friday Spellâ conducted by Siegfried Wagner, the composerâs son, and an excerpt from the landmark 1951 Wieland Wagner Bayreuth production of this opera, featuring baritone George London and tenor Wolfgang Windgassen.
