The Parsifal is rather a disappointment, since it is not a staged version at all, but done in the style of a four-hour oratorio. I suppose that allows every one to concentrate on the music, but its composer would not have been terribly happy would he.

The St. Matthew on the other hand - with the Thomanerchor and Gewandhausorchester under Herr Biller - would have pleased its composer greatly (considering the forces with which he himself was obliged to make do), and I am truly over-joyed to have discovered it. It will henceforth remain one of my most treasured possessions.

I do not know how traditional the orchestral instruments are.
