Within Germany, Weimar means a town in the state of Thuringia arguably saturated with the “Deutsche Kultur” of the “Weimarer Klassik”, the legendary Bauhaus, and finally the life and work of Franz Liszt and his son in law Richard Wagner. In Weimar Richard Wagner began composing the fi rst part of his RING-cycle, “ Das Rheingold”. In 2008 the Nationaltheater Weimar started a new production of this unique tetralogy. The conductor is Carl St.Clair, a former student of Leonard Bernstein. With Michael Schulz’ fine and highly intelligent staging this new “Ring” production on DVD and Blu-Ray becomes an outstanding document of contemporary opera theatre. Running Time: 166 min

“Karajan's attempt to film his Salzburg Ring in a studio in Munich with a new soundtrack… stalled after one episode - and there's a reason. All Karajan's opera films are stilted attempts by a musician who should have stayed at his conducting desk instead of working in an area of representation about which he seemed to understand a little. This Rheingold is by some way the worst of these films.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2009 “Karajan as stage director supervises an evocatively traditional production...Karajan as ever is masterly in his control of his forces, making this an exceptionally enjoyable version of the Vorabend of the Ring cycle.” Penguin Guide, 2010 edition **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“The drama is played straight, the mythical elements respected, with towering giants, sinister Nibelungen, and suitable god-like gods… musically this is equally promising. Haenchen's studied reading… is refreshingly brisk, as Wagner preferred.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2006 **** “Amsterdam’s new Ring has begun very promisingly: the crucial architecture is already in place” The Independent | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
