It features what many critics consider a dream cast. Widely critically acclaimed—including being selected as the top recommendation for Parsifal by the BBC’s "Building a Library"—this physical 4-CD set is now long out of print (OOP) and extremely difficult to find. Finding a copy still sealed in its original factory shrink-wrap is an absolute rarity. 2.

An exceptional cast features (amongst others) : Jon Vickers as Parsifal, Amy Shuard as Kundry, Louis Hendrikx as Gurnemanz. Notably, a young Kiri Te Kanawa sings as one of the Flowermaidens (Blumenmädchen). The archival tapes were meticulously restored and remastered by audio engineer Paul Bailey. Released in 2008 under the official Royal Opera House Heritage Series, this physical 4-CD box set is now long out of print and hard to find in this condition. 3.
