Promo 👏 Wagner-Der Ring Des Nibelunge DVD – Linda Finnie, John Tomlinson ✨

This legendary Bayreuth Festival production of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen directed by Harry Kupfer with designs by Hans Schavernoch and conducted by Daniel Barenboim is considered perhaps the finest video recording of these four operas ever made. For their innovative modernist staging Kupfer and his team turned away from the work’s time of origin and located The Ring at a road of history a meeting-place of past present and future which sets the scene for the story’s struggles of power and love. Barenboim’s authoritative yet highly responsive reading of the immense score and the extraordinary performances of the cast help to make this a truly memorable Ring.
