A legendary documentary returns to the catalogue - telling the story of the first studio recording of Wagner's Ring Cycle under Solti. Includes the complete documentary in English and the German version made alongside it. The DVD also comprises 69 minutes of audio highlights from Solti’s Ring in 5.1 surround sound. “History was made with TV's first long musical documentary capturing the end of '17 massive stereophonic hours of music'. It's also fun to see genuine steerhorns and a joke horse for the immolation as well as a sexy Solti and cutting-edge Nilsson in action.” BBC Music Magazine, August 2007 **** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Intensely acted, and sung, by all the principals, Konwitschny's approach illuminates and exposes Wagner's contrasting tale of local political squabbles, idealised love, chauvinist behaviour and compromised solutions on every level. ...a vital contemporary staging of the work.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2007 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
