Der Ring des Nibelungen - Das Rheingold CD 1 & 2 / Die Walküre CD 3 - 5 / Siegfried CD 6 - 9 / Götterdämmerung CD 10-13.
The Ring is among the boldest, most all-embracing works of art ever conceived. Ancient myth and new aesthetics collide and make a drama encompassing comedy, satire, romance and tragedy and addressing the most profound and profoundly human issues of love, death, compassion and revenge. The creation of the Ring preoccupied Wagner for more than 20 years, and it has fascinated artists ever since; few more persistently than Wilhelm Furtwangler, the German conductor who determined, after years of less-then-perfect stage productions, that he would create a Ring for the ear and for the mind, in concert performances in Rome. The conditions were near-perfect. The result is an ideally cast recording from a gold age of Wagner interpretation.
