Der Fliegende HollÀnder
This vivid film of Wagner's romatic opera succeeds in conveying what has famously been called "the wind that blows out at you whenever you open the score", including Daland's boat anchoring against the Sandwike cliffs, the red-sailed phantom ship, and the ghost crew rising from the dead. "Scenes that recall classic horror films... Brilliantly successful" (NĂŒrnberger Nachrichten), "Captures the works' essence" (SĂŒddeutsche Zeitung). With a superb cast; conducted by Wagner authority Wolfgang Sawallisch.
