I like the Moll performance better, personally, though I also really like the slower Furtwangler as well. Honestly, I mostly put the second performance there as a way of saying, "the traditional staging might seem staid, but at least it's not this," with strange things like:
As mentioned before, Michael Haneke, one of my favourite directors, did his own version of it in the same year (and it was revived last year, no less) and it seems interesting if a bit more restrained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPzlF3wl_5o Alas, this clip is all I've been able to find.

I don't think it's bad at all. I don't exactly know why they made those changes, but there are so many things to think about by inverting some aspects of the context. For example, the bikini babes in white clearly represent his heaven, and so ultimately it is heaven's gate that serves as the doorway to his condemnation.

Apparently, it started in 1951, when Wieland Wagner realised that, if he wanted to revive the Bayreuth festival after 12 years of the Nazis heavily endorsing it, they'd have to change the way they interpreted Wagner's operas. It started with more abstract stagings of plays like Parsifal, but eventually, the approach became successful and other directors started to copy it, taking other operas and either taking them out of their original context to illuminate several themes for modern audiences or to just create new shocking imagery to attract them. Honestly, I think it can work easily, just not there.
