Wagner: Der Ring des Nibelungen - Nilsson, Windgassen, Adam, Rysanek, King, Greindl, Mödl, Silja, Talvela; Böhm. Bayreuth, 1966
$51.95
Description:
These recordings were made during the summer prior to the release of the official Philips studio cycle, offering a fascinating glimpse into a Ring that features many of the same artists at a similarly electrifying level of performance. The cast is nothing short of definitive, with towering portrayals from Birgit Nilsson, Theo Adam, Leonie Rysanek, James King, Josef Greindl, and Thomas Stewart.
What makes this set particularly remarkable is the consistent level of excellence across the entire cast. Even the smaller roles receive star-caliber treatment, with standout cameos from Ludmila Dvoraková as Gutrune, Martha Mödl as Waltraute, Anja Silja as both Freia and the Third Norn, and Liane Synek, Danica Mastilovic, and Helga Dernesch among the Valkyries. The result is a richly detailed and vocally thrilling traversal of Wagner’s monumental cycle.
