It said something troubling about the state of the classical recording industry in the early twenty first century that the most eagerly anticipated Ring cycle release was not a brand-new digital recording but rather a 50-year-old, previously unreleased recording. Of course, this was not just any 50-year-old Ring: it was the first-ever stereo Ring ...

The first release of the first stereo recording of the work, the historical importance of this set of Wagner's Siegfried is undeniable.
