Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen (In English) Hunter, Remedios, Bailey, Garrard; Goodall. London, 1970- 1973

$120.95

Description:

These broadcasts capture the original production of the English Ring Cycle conducted by Reginald Goodall, and serve as remarkable testament to the power of Wagner's music performed in English. Fans of the commercial release will appreciate the subtle differences in casting, such as the luxurious Sieglinde of Avan June and the Wanderer portrayed by Don Garrard, a singer who never truly received the recognition he deserved. Rita Hunter delivers her effortlessly powerful soprano as Brünnhilde, joined by Alberto Remedios as Siegfried.

The rest of the cast features an impressive array of British singers who would later secure their place among the ranks of world-class singers, including Sarah Walker, Anne Evans, and Valerie Masterson.
