Wagner's last and strangest work, retold as a novel you can hold in one hand. A wild young man wanders into a brotherhood of knights dying around a wound that will not close - and, knowing nothing, not even his own name, slowly becomes the one thing that can heal it. Grail and Spear, the sorcerer's garden and its long temptation, the road from a careless arrow to a single act of pity: Parsifal: An Overture gives the opera's mystery the room only a novel allows. Part of the Overture Series - operas told as novels, written to be read in the weeks before you go, or even while the music plays. Paced to Knappertsbusch's 1962 Bayreuth recording.
