In his vast work Wagner breaks the bonds of 19th-century opera to create a music drama like no other: part myth from the dawn of time, part parable of greed, power and politics, it is also a thrilling tale of human heroism and self-sacrifice and an orchestral tour de force all in one. Janowski’s version was the first ever digital recording of the Ring, set down in a concentrated sequence of sessions at the beginning of the 1980s, and released as a complete set in 1984. Consistently cast across the four operas with a roll-call of great Wagnerians, the set features the authoritative Wotan of Theo Adam, the fresh-voiced Siegmund of Siegfried Jerusalem and Jessye Norman as Sieglinde, heard here at the peak of her early career. At the time of recording, the role of Siegfried had become calling-card of tenor René Kollo, heard in all the international opera-houses, while American soprano Jeannine Altmeyer had just moved on from being Sieglinde at Bayreuth under Boulez to the challenging starring role of Brünnhilde. The legendary Peter Schreier appears as both Loge and Mime, while the first voice to be heard is that of Lucia Popp as the Rhinemaiden Woglinde, and the host of Valkyries features a young Cheryl Studer and Kathleen Kuhlmann. |
