“The central part of the Ring tetralogy is precisely this: a hero has been created who would actually have had all the attributes of freedom, but nobody remembered to tell him…so Siegfried remains unaware and incomplete… Mime has to be both funny and tragic – a clown like Chaplin and pathetic like a downtrodden people” (Patrice Chéreau) | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

Wolfgang Millgram, Lennart Forsén, Hedwig Fassbender, Gunnar Lundberg, Magnus Kyhle, Martina Dike Royal Swedish Opera Male Chorus, Royal Swedish Opera Orchestra, Leif Segerstam “... a trump card in the ravishing Isolde of Hedwig Fassbender, sung with a tenderness and girlish freshness … What is remarkable about Fassbender’s singing is the beauty and evenness of her production over the widest dynamic range, from the pinging accuracy of Isolde’s Act 1 curse … to hushed pianissimo flawlessly sustained. I cannot remember an account of Isolde’s brief, tender solo at the end of Act 2 quite so moving as hers.” Gramophone | | | (also available to download from $12.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

The musical side is good, not outstanding.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2005 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
