WAGNER Der Ring des Nibelungen
Vienna Philharmonic / Georg Solti. Deluxe limited edition. Decca
17cds
The centrepiece of DECCA's celebrations of Sir Georg Solti's centenary is a limited-edition [individually numbered], newly- remastered, luxury edition of "The greatest recording of all time!" (BBC Music Magazine, January 2012)
Solti's recording of Wagner's epic music-drama Der Ring des Nibelungen was a recording project on a scale without precedent and the first-ever studio recording of Wagner's masterpiece. Recorded between September 1958 and November 1965, it was masterminded by legendary producer John Culshaw and his technical team under the direction of chief engineer Gordon Parry. This massive undertaking set new standards in both opera recording and the possibilities of the effective and imaginative use of stereo.For the first time ever DECCA presents the most comprehensive Ring edition ever assembled.
The complete Ring cycle is presented on 14 CDs:

An introduction to Der Ring des Nibelungen by Wagner scholar Deryck
