Reginald Goodall was an English conductor, especially associated with Wagner and with long-breathed, deeply serious operatic interpretation.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Die Walküre and Götterdämmerung, alongside major British and international casts.

Goodall’s conducting was famously spacious, intense and cumulative, favouring organic growth over surface excitement.

His page is essential for the British Wagner strand. Goodall gives the Wagner shelf a slow-burning ceremonial flame.
