Description:

Don’t be deterred by the fact that this performance of Das Rheingold spans three CDs. Reginald Goodall works his magic, suspending time and space with his deliberate pacing, allowing the listener to luxuriate in the intricate details of Wagner’s score without ever succumbing to a sense of inertia. Norman Bailey is superb as Wotan, bringing authority and depth to the role. The entire cast is nothing short of world-class, with even the Rhinemaidens delivering performances of remarkable quality.
