After many years of listening pleasure, I've realized that many a famous musical piece is just that - a piece of a whole. The fact that I was so taken with an individual piece almost always meant that I wanted more - if I exposed myself to the "whole" from which a particular piece was derived, I generally got what I was looking for. Such is the case with this offering. But this is not just a little more - this will leave you in AWE ! perhaps shock ! The work itself was, and still is, audacious and monumental in its inception - and nearly impossible to produce. This recording was the first attempt to record "The Ring Cycle" in its etirety - deliberate in purpose. And the care taken is apparent. Fate destined that the performers cast, and their perfomances, be stuff of legend, also - wonderous performances captured ! This is a bench-mark performance/recording against which all sebsequent (thus far) are compared.Read full review
This CD box set is the best versions of Wagner's The Ring. An impressive classic by Solti created with loving care. FIVE STARS
