This is it -- the pressing and the packaging you've been waiting for in a Clemens Krauss Ring. Old-timers know that, along with one of the other of the Furtwängler's, the Krauss Ring is the pre-stereo recording of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen to hear. Taped at the 1953 Bayreuth Festival, the Krauss Ring has fabulous singing from some of the ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Nietzsche may have been the first, but he was by no means the last to note that Parsifal was blasphemous. Wagner's final opera, his self-described "sacred festival stage play," Parsifal is a work steeped in the Christian mythology of the cross and the blood, but its message of compassion through suffering and transcendence through renunciation is ...

composed by Alban Berg

Someday soon, recordings of the two-act version of Berg's Lulu will be historical curiosities. After all, now there is an authentic three-act version of the opera with the melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and most of the orchestration in Berg's hand. But there was a time when all there was of Lulu was a two-act torso and that was all anybody thought ...

performed by Elisabeth Höngen (mezzo-soprano), Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (soprano), Hans Hotter (bass), Julius Patzak (tenor), Wiener Singverein (choir, chorus), Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan (conductor)
composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

Is this 1947 performance the best of Herbert von Karajan's recordings of Beethoven's Ninth? One could make that argument. After all, Karajan's 1983 Ninth is abhorrent in its narcissism, and his 1977 Ninth is abominable in its egotism. And while his 1963 Ninth is at best the acme of Karajan's super-refined mature style, and his 1955 Ninth is at ...

composed by Richard Wagner

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 ...

composed by Richard Wagner

A perfectly acceptable performance, Joseph Keilberth's Das Rheingold at the 1955 Bayreuth Festival would no doubt have satisfied most listeners. But although the performance was taped in stereo by Decca, the recording remained unreleased until 2006 when Testament finally issued it, and by that time finer performances, including Decca's own ...
