Free Music Notes for Wagner: Highlights from "The Ring"
Free Music Review: My first Wagner CD and it remains a favourite
Hit: 5 Stars
I got this 16 years ago and it was my very first Wagner CD.
Now I have a large number of Wagner CDs but this remains a favourite.
There are many arrangements of Ring excerpts around, but this has the best versions, in my view, especially for Dawn & RJ.
Mehta's pacing is excellent, particularly for the Goetterdaemmerung tracks, and the sound is superb: so much detail is revealed very clearly.
The Immolation Scene with Caballe was recorded separately (the stereo placing is clearly different from the others) and she is nothing like a Nilsson, but it's OK.
So, overall, a wonderful introduction to some of the key Highlights of the Ring.
