Clemen Krauss's Parsifal of 1953 was the fastest ever conducted in Bayreuth. Along came Boulez.
Is there an recording of this Krauss-Parsifal?

I have it on LP: Melodram MEL 533, four LPs. (The number of LPs should indicate how really fast this performance is! FWIW, I have not listened to it in a very long time...)
The principal singers are as follows:
Parsifal - Ramón Vinay Kundry - Martha Mödl Amfortas - George London Gunemanz - Ludwig Weber Klingsor - Hermann Uhde Titurel - Josef Greindl

If you have a chance to listen to it, don't forget to post about it. Has it ever made it to CD?

I've not yet seen the above mentioned Parsifal on CD, but MDT lists a performance from Cologne with Modl, Aldenhoff, Greindl, Nillius, Blasius, Fehn, Kolner Radio Sinfonie Orchestra and Chorus/Krauss (April 1949) Gebhardt 4cds GBP 38.00

Not the same Krauss. This one is Richard.

It appeared on an Italian CD label - possibly Foyer - in good sound. As a performance it was a sort of anti-Knappertsbusch, an interesting position to take.
