Wagner: Der fliegende Hollander [Audio CD]

The Wagner year 2013 brought something special to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra’s concert schedule. The RCO pulled out all the stops with a full performance of this Wagner opera in concert version. Busy carving out an impressive career for himself and making his fifth appearance at Bayreuth last summer, Andris Nelsons has certainly earned his spurs as a Wagner specialist. He is led the RCO and a cast of international soloists in ‘Der Fliegende Hollnder’, an opera about the captain of an infamous Dutch ghost ship who can be freed only by a woman who consents to marry him.
