In celebration of  the 200th Anniversary in 2013 of Wagner’s birth and the 100th Anniversary in 2012 of Sir Georg Solti’s birth DECCA presents:

WAGNER: DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN

DELUXE, REMASTERED, NUMBERED, LIMITED EDITION including BLU-RAY AUDIO 24-BIT AUDIOPHILE DISC, COMPLETE LIBRETTI in HARDBACK and MORE

Sir Georg 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.

 

The combination of Sir Georg Solti and the Vienna Philharmonic with an international cast of the greatest Wagnerian singers available resulted in a recording which was greeted with unprecedented enthusiasm and rave reviews and which quickly won numerous international awards.
