«Tannhäuser Without Words» is the album by Lorin Maazel and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, released in 1991 by Sony Classical, on CD.
Symphonic version of Richard Wagner's opera Tannhäuser: Lorin Maazel arranges the score without words and turns it into an instrumental synthesis. Throughout the disc, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra tackles the overture and passages from the three acts of the Paris version, maintaining the dramatic and romantic character of the original work.
DDD recording made at Heinz Hall (Pittsburgh) in December 1990. Includes the Mendelssohn Choir and uses 20-bit technology; catalogue number SK 47178.
For classical and romantic music listeners who want an orchestral approach to Wagner, without the voices of the full opera.
