The prologue to the Ring Cycle\n    lasts about two and a half hours without an interval (making it one of the\n    shortest Wagnerian operas) and the orchestra is just as prominent as its\n    ensemble cast. It is the first time the audience hears Wagner’s mastery of\n    the leitmotif, starting with that for the Rhine itself, and each important\n    character, place or theme has its own musical signature that will return in\n    the other operas in the cycle when mentioned or even just thought about.\n    The opera requires a great orchestra under a skilful conductor, and an\n    excellent cast of more than a dozen principals.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e\n    is divided into four scenes: the first deals with Alberich’s renunciation\n    of love in order to steal the gold guarded by the Rhinemaidens; the second\n    with the Gods bickering over how they are going to pay for their new home,\n    Valhalla; the third shows Wotan outwitting Alberich and stealing the gold\n    that has now been forged into a magic ring and tarnhelm; and the final\n    scene shows the triumphant entry of the Gods into Valhalla. There are lots\n    of subplots set up for the future operas during \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e,\n    including Alberich cursing the ring so that everyone who comes into contact\n    with it fares badly; Wotan breaking his word initiating the final downfall\n    of the Gods, and deciding to father a race of warrior maidens (including\n    Brünnhilde) in a vain attempt to prevent it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The Met’s Ring Cycle of 1961-2 came with a largely new cast, though the\nproduction itself dated back to 1948. The centrepiece of    \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e was George London’s Wotan. London had been signing\n    at the Met since 1951 and his dark, rich and vibrant baritone was ideally\n    suited to such roles as Amonasro (available on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pristineclassical.com\/products\/paco147\"\u003ePACO147\u003c\/a\u003e), Don Giovanni, and\n    Scarpia. He appeared at the first post-war Bayreuth Festival as Amfortas\n    and later added the Dutchman (available on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pristineclassical.com\/products\/paco136\"\u003ePACO136\u003c\/a\u003e) and Wolfram to his\n    repertoire. Wotan and the Wanderer were the final Wagnerian roles he\n    assumed, but Leinsdorf and the Met management knew what they were getting\n    as London had already recorded the role triumphantly for Decca in 1958.\n    This was the first time he sang the role on stage. London gives us a\n    nuanced and intelligent portrayal that makes us regret all the more the\n    health problems that led to a premature retirement from the stage at 46\n    years old.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Austrian baritone Ralph Herbert is a characterful Alberich and compares\n    well with those who have assumed the role in more recent times. Mime is\n    sung by Paul Kuen, one of the true masters of the role, in a rare\n    appearance in New York. Kuen specialised in character tenor parts and was\n    the Mime of choice at Bayreuth between 1951 and 1957. Karl Liebl, singing\n    Loge, was a leading Wagnerian tenor in his own right, singing roles such as\n    Lohengrin, Tristan and Parsifal at the Met.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The cast is filled out with some top-notch performers. Irene Dalis, a\n    notable Amneris, Kundry and Brangäne (available on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pristineclassical.com\/products\/paco135\"\u003ePACO135\u003c\/a\u003e) both in the US\n    and Europe, is a powerful Fricka. Jerome Hines, whose Met career lasted for\n    more than forty years in leading roles, features as Fasolt, Jean Madiera\n    gives us perhaps one of the best portrayals of Erda ever heard at the Met,\n    while Martina Arroyo (at the start of her glittering career) features as\n    Woglinde.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Although Erich Leinsdorf’s career at the Met lasted some forty-five years\n    between 1938 and 1983 it included a lengthy gap between 1945 -1957.\n    Leinsdorf started out in the Met’s German wing almost exclusively\n    conducting Wagner. His repertoire expanded considerably after his return to\n    the Met in 1957 and this production of the Ring was actually the first time\n    he had conducted any Wagnerian opera (apart from \u003cem\u003eParsifal\u003c\/em\u003e) since\n    1945. Leinsdorf gives us a taut, but never rushed, performance, and allows\n    the Met’s orchestra to bring out the beauty of the score.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp class=\"pristine-added-programme-heading\" style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLEINSDORF\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eWagner\u003c\/b\u003e Ring Cycle: 1.

Some say it lacks\n    the taut drama of \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e, the intensely personal emotions\n    of \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e or the spectacle of \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e. In\n    some respects, it could be classified as a chamber opera – the whole of Act\n    1 takes place in Mime’s cave, the whole of Act 2 outside Fafner’s cave, and\n    only in Act 3 is there a (small) scene change from near Brünnhilde’s rock\n    to its summit. It’s also a peculiarly male-dominated opera. It’s hard to\n    think of any other opera where all the singers in Act 1 are male, and\n    indeed for large parts of it, only tenors are singing. Female voices are\n    not heard until the latter stages of Act 2, and only given real prominence\nfor the final half an hour of Act 3. Yet for all these reservations,    \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e is a masterful opera.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The story introduces us to Siegfried, love-child of the ill-fated Siegmund\n    and Sieglinde from \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e. He has been raised, after the\n    death of his parents, by Mime the Nibelung dwarf, brother of Alberich, and\n    last seen in \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e. In Act 1, Siegfried learns of his\n    parentage and successfully re-forges Nothung, the sword shattered by Wotan\n    in \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e. In Act 2 Siegfried kills Fafner, who has turned\n    himself into a dragon to protect the gold. This is done at Mime’s urging,\n    as he wants the magical treasure for himself. Tasting a drop of Fafner’s\n    blood enables Siegfried to understand the voice of a Woodbird, who warns\n    him to beware Mime’s duplicity and Siegfried quickly slays him. The\n    Woodbird then tells Siegfried of a heroine fit for a hero, sleeping on a\n    rock, surrounded by magic fire, and Siegfried sets off to claim his bride.\n    In Act 3, Wotan, disguised as the Wanderer, tries to block Siegfried’s\n    path, but the newly forged Nothung shatters Wotan’s spear and Siegfried\n    passes through the fire. At the top of the rock he awakens Brünnhilde and\n    they sing a rapturous love duet. At its heart \u003cem\u003eSiegfried \u003c\/em\u003eshows us\n    the transformation of a boy into a man, but it also marks the liberation of\n    mankind from divine meddling.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The title role in \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e is incredibly difficult to cast. The\n    part is perhaps the longest tenor role in all opera, and the character is\n    on stage for most of each act. The number of tenors who have been able to\n    sing the part successfully is vanishingly small. The voice has to be large\n    and heroic – easily distinguished from Mime - yet light and versatile at\n    the same time as there is a lot of quiet, reflective singing in Act 2.\n    Above all, the tenor must have stamina. It is a cruel trick to put a\n    vocally demanding love duet at the end of a four-hour opera with a soprano\n    who has only just woken up. There are plenty of Siegfrieds who have little\n    voice left by the end of Act 3 and are dominated by a Wagnerian soprano who\n    is really just getting warmed up. Hans Hopf offers us a Siegfried that\n    ticks many of the right boxes. His voice is large and carries a certain\n    heft that the role demands. He also possesses that rare stamina that\n    enables him to sing this role successfully. He sounds just as fresh in Act\n    3 as he did in Act 1. It would be unfair to compare him to the matchless\n    Lauritz Melchior, heard in the role on the 1937 broadcast from the Met\n    (PACO139), and instead we should measure Hopf against Wolfgang Windgassen,\n    his great contemporary. Hopf has more stamina and vocal weight while\n    Windgassen is the more thoughtful singer. Only Hopf disrupted Windgassen’s\n    reign as the Siegfried at Bayreuth between 1953-67, assuming the role\n    between 1960 and 1964. He also sang Walther, Tannhauser and Parsifal at\n    both Bayreuth and the Met, but sang Lohengrin only at the latter.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nPaul Kuen and George London return as Mime and Wotan\/Wanderer from    \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e. Kuen was a master of the role, performing it at\n    Bayreuth and elsewhere, and he gives us a truly sung characterisation\n    rather than the caricature that others sometimes offer. London is here\n    singing his first Wanderer but he has the role well under control, offering\n    both gravitas and wit. Birgit Nilsson resumes her role as Brünnhilde, and\n    compared to \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e, this is\n    almost a day of rest for her.

I can offer Erich Leinsdorf no higher praise than to say that the beautiful playing of the orchestra brought back may vivid memories of Fritz Stiedry's inspired interpretation of this score. Nowhere was Wagner's miraculous sense of color and atmosphere more subtly employed than in this music, which stirs the intellect as it intoxicates the senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of the members of the cast were new to their roles at the Metropolitan, except Miss Madeira and Mr. Herbert, and all of them were excellent. Mr. Hopf could not, in the nature of things, look like a young hero, but he sang and acted like one, with a full understanding of his marvelous musical opportunities. The pathos of the orphaned boy, his horror of evil and his need for love were very real to this fine singer and artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt needed no more than the awakening to stamp Miss Nilsson's Siegfried Brünnhilde as one of the great ones of all time. The plastique was memorably beautiful and her tones poured forth with a freshness, gleam and abundance that kept one tingling with amazement. Her final high C, instead of an agonized effort, was a rapturous outburst. Like Mr. Hopf, she was aware every second of what she was singing about, and it is a sad commentary on Wagnerian standards that I should have to single this as a rare virtue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother memorable performance was that of George London. Not since Friedrich Schorr have we had a Wanderer who brought to this role such majesty of bearing, beauty of voice and diction, and dramatic profundity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Kuen was an ideal Mime and managed to sing the role, instead of barking it, and he combined grotesque malevolence with a sort of cringing pathos in his portrait of a creature that was neither all man nor all monster. His facial expressions alone were marvels of distortion and characterization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGottlob Frick, great artist that he is brought out the sleepy heaviness of the rather lovable dragon and the marvelous irony of \"ich schlafe and besitze\" (\"I sleep and I own\"). And Martina Arroyo sang the exquisite music of the Forest Bird with startling volume but saving agility and gracefulness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiss Madeira had the right kind of voice for Erda, but she had her troubles with placement and phrasing at this performance. Mr. Herbert helped to make the quarrel between Alberich and Mime (one of the wittiest things in all music) one of the highlights of a generally eloquent performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[\u003ci\u003eReview of performance of \u003c\/i\u003eJanuary 2, 1962]\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab4_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f","brand":"Pristine Classical","offers":[{"title":"Ambient Stereo 24-bit FLAC","offer_id":13281218560061,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ambient Stereo 16-bit FLAC","offer_id":55205544395086,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"320kbps Ambient Stereo MP3","offer_id":55205544427854,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1691\/2535\/products\/PACO155_91aff24a-b0f9-4064-839c-c8a645eff006.jpg?v=1541498664"},{"product_id":"paco155-cd","title":"LEINSDORF Wagner Ring Cycle: 3.

Among the new characters\n    is Hagen, son of Alberich and half-brother to Gunther, King of the\n    Gibichungs, and his sister Gutrune. It is Hagen that drives the plot of the\nopera, by scheming and treachery, in order to win the ring for himself.    \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e may have ended with the jubilant union of Brünnhilde and\n    Siegfried, but \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e quickly unravels all that\n    happiness. After another rapturous duet, gloriously sung by Birgit Nilsson\n    and Hans Hopf, Brünnhilde sends Siegfried off on new adventures,\n    unwittingly setting up the final demise of the Gods and Valhalla. Siegfried\n    encounters Hagen and the Gibichung siblings, only to be tricked by Hagen\n    into drinking a potion that makes him forget Brünnhilde and fall in love\n    with Gutrune. Siegfried asks for Gutrune’s hand in marriage and offers to\n    win the former warrior-maiden Brünnhilde as a wife for Gunther.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n    By Act 2, after being forced by Siegfried to follow him to the Hall of the\n    Gibichungs, Hagen facilitates Brünnhilde’s discovery of the betrayal and\n    joins in a plot for vengeance with a hesitant Gunther. Brünnhilde reveals\n    Siegfried’s only vulnerability to them: his back, which he would never turn\n    on an enemy. In Act 3, Hagen takes advantage of this knowledge (after\n    restoring Siegfried’s memory of Brünnhilde) by killing Siegfried’s using\n    his supposed betrayal of Gunther as the reason for the murder. Brünnhilde\n    finally becomes aware of Hagen’s treachery and taking the ring from the\n    dead Siegfried’s hand, rides into his funeral pyre on her horse, Grane.\n    After dragging Hagen to his death in the depths of the Rhine, the\n    Rhinemaidens retrieve the ring, which restores peace to the world. Of\n    course, the plot is rather more complicated and intricate than this short\n    summary allows for, but the score, being a masterpiece of leitmotifs,\n    reminds the careful listener of plot lines stretching back to the very\n    beginning of the entire cycle.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n    Reprising their roles from the previous operas are, in addition to Nilsson\n    and Hopf, Ralph Herbert as Alberich and Martina Arroyo, Rosalind Elias and\n    Mignon Dunn as the Rhinemaidens (Arroyo also sings the Third Norn in this\n    performance). Other soloists return in new roles. Irene Dalis, Fricka in\n    both \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e, appears as the Second\n    Norn and as Waltraute, who comes to seek her sister’s help trying to\n    convince her to return the ring to the Rhinemaidens. Gladys Kuchta,\n    previously heard as Sieglinde in \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e, now assumes the\n    other demurely feminine role in the Ring, Gutrune. Norman Mittlemann,\n    Donner in \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e is now our Gunther and Jean Madeira, our\n    Erda in \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e is heard as the First\nNorn. Most significantly, Gottlob Frick, briefly heard off-stage in    \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e as Fafner, now assumes the role of Hagen, with his\n    cavernous, black-hued sound. His is a powerfully malevolent\n    characterization, in total command of everyone he comes into contact with.\n    All told this is a cast of the highest international calibre, such as could\n    be heard in Bayreuth and other leading opera houses in the early 1960s.\n    Hopf gives us some lovely wistful singing as he recalls his love for\n    Brünnhilde in Act 3 and lastly, Nilsson continues to amaze with her\n    gleaming voice and laser-like high notes. She is frighteningly vengeful in\n    Act 2, yet recaptures Brünnhilde’s nobility in a stirring account of the\n    Immolation Scene at the end of the opera.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n    Erich Leinsdorf once again elicits lustrous playing from the orchestra,\n    particularly in the extended orchestral interludes of Siegfried’s Rhine\n    Journey and Funeral March. At the end of the opera, fittingly, it is the\n    orchestra that informs us that Valhalla has fallen and the Rhine has risen\n    to reclaim the gold, ending Wagner’s epic saga.\n\u003c\/p\u003e578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp class=\"pristine-added-programme-heading\" style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLEINSDORF\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eWagner\u003c\/b\u003e Ring Cycle: 4.

Among the new characters\n    is Hagen, son of Alberich and half-brother to Gunther, King of the\n    Gibichungs, and his sister Gutrune. It is Hagen that drives the plot of the\nopera, by scheming and treachery, in order to win the ring for himself.    \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e may have ended with the jubilant union of Brünnhilde and\n    Siegfried, but \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e quickly unravels all that\n    happiness. After another rapturous duet, gloriously sung by Birgit Nilsson\n    and Hans Hopf, Brünnhilde sends Siegfried off on new adventures,\n    unwittingly setting up the final demise of the Gods and Valhalla. Siegfried\n    encounters Hagen and the Gibichung siblings, only to be tricked by Hagen\n    into drinking a potion that makes him forget Brünnhilde and fall in love\n    with Gutrune. Siegfried asks for Gutrune’s hand in marriage and offers to\n    win the former warrior-maiden Brünnhilde as a wife for Gunther.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n    By Act 2, after being forced by Siegfried to follow him to the Hall of the\n    Gibichungs, Hagen facilitates Brünnhilde’s discovery of the betrayal and\n    joins in a plot for vengeance with a hesitant Gunther. Brünnhilde reveals\n    Siegfried’s only vulnerability to them: his back, which he would never turn\n    on an enemy. In Act 3, Hagen takes advantage of this knowledge (after\n    restoring Siegfried’s memory of Brünnhilde) by killing Siegfried’s using\n    his supposed betrayal of Gunther as the reason for the murder. Brünnhilde\n    finally becomes aware of Hagen’s treachery and taking the ring from the\n    dead Siegfried’s hand, rides into his funeral pyre on her horse, Grane.\n    After dragging Hagen to his death in the depths of the Rhine, the\n    Rhinemaidens retrieve the ring, which restores peace to the world. Of\n    course, the plot is rather more complicated and intricate than this short\n    summary allows for, but the score, being a masterpiece of leitmotifs,\n    reminds the careful listener of plot lines stretching back to the very\n    beginning of the entire cycle.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n    Reprising their roles from the previous operas are, in addition to Nilsson\n    and Hopf, Ralph Herbert as Alberich and Martina Arroyo, Rosalind Elias and\n    Mignon Dunn as the Rhinemaidens (Arroyo also sings the Third Norn in this\n    performance). Other soloists return in new roles. Irene Dalis, Fricka in\n    both \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e, appears as the Second\n    Norn and as Waltraute, who comes to seek her sister’s help trying to\n    convince her to return the ring to the Rhinemaidens. Gladys Kuchta,\n    previously heard as Sieglinde in \u003cem\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/em\u003e, now assumes the\n    other demurely feminine role in the Ring, Gutrune. Norman Mittlemann,\n    Donner in \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e is now our Gunther and Jean Madeira, our\n    Erda in \u003cem\u003eDas Rheingold\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e is heard as the First\nNorn. Most significantly, Gottlob Frick, briefly heard off-stage in    \u003cem\u003eSiegfried\u003c\/em\u003e as Fafner, now assumes the role of Hagen, with his\n    cavernous, black-hued sound. His is a powerfully malevolent\n    characterization, in total command of everyone he comes into contact with.\n    All told this is a cast of the highest international calibre, such as could\n    be heard in Bayreuth and other leading opera houses in the early 1960s.\n    Hopf gives us some lovely wistful singing as he recalls his love for\n    Brünnhilde in Act 3 and lastly, Nilsson continues to amaze with her\n    gleaming voice and laser-like high notes. She is frighteningly vengeful in\n    Act 2, yet recaptures Brünnhilde’s nobility in a stirring account of the\n    Immolation Scene at the end of the opera.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n    Erich Leinsdorf once again elicits lustrous playing from the orchestra,\n    particularly in the extended orchestral interludes of Siegfried’s Rhine\n    Journey and Funeral March.

He preferred to “wing it” in the theater, allowing the inspiration of the moment to guide the performance at hand, letting the chips fall where they might. Consequently, you never knew what you were going to get for the price of your ticket. For instance, there are wonderful moments aplenty throughout the 1957\/58 \u003ci\u003eRings\u003c\/i\u003e. But the stodgy, pedestrian, and often sloppy work that generally persists does not hold up under the microphone’s unforgiving scrutiny. Not that Knappertsbusch would have wanted these \u003ci\u003eRings \u003c\/i\u003eissued, but that’s neither here nor there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eOn the other hand, just about every bar of his 1956 \u003ci\u003eRing \u003c\/i\u003ereveals that Kna could deliver first rate, even inspired goods when he put his mind to it. Even considering the tortoise-like pacing and massive textures, Knappertsbusch’s shaping of each opera boasts more pointed detail, greater animation within phrases, and sharper dramatic contours. His singers, in turn, respond with more vivid performances than their norm under this conductor. Perhaps the principals (Varnay, Neidlinger, Windgassen, Hotter, and Greindl) are in fresher vocal estate three years earlier for Clemens Krauss and Joseph Keilberth, yet their moment-to-moment involvement plus unusual care in making the words clear is never in question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eBoth Siegfrieds were still relatively new roles for Wolfgang Windgassen, and his interpretation had evolved quite a bit in three years, especially in the opera named for the protagonist. The hero’s Act Two musings take on a new introspection, and there’s more intensity now to his crucial encounter with the Wanderer in Act Three. \u003ci\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/i\u003e lets us hear Windgassen’s Bayreuth Siegmund for the first time; the tenor was an eleventh-hour replacement, and an effective one at that. Gré Brouwenstijn partners him as Sieglinde, and the soprano radiates more spontaneity here than in her underrated studio portrayal under Leinsdorf.

Knappertsbusch could be a maddeningly uneven conductor (from performance to performance, and within the same performance), but this is the finest of his surviving Bayreuth \u003ci\u003eRing \u003c\/i\u003eCycles. Two later ones, from 1957 and 1958, fail to achieve the consistency of inspiration and cogency of shape, not to mention incisiveness and intensity, that are found in this 1956 production. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eWhat is it that makes this performance unique? Well, first there is the singing—this was a time when these operas could still be cast with singers who had the vocal equipment and the understanding of the style to do full justice to Wagner's scores. I realize that we have been bemoaning the loss of Nilsson for a long time now—and yes, I'd love to have her likes again. But failing that, I'd be thrilled to have a Varnay. Here was a powerful, gleaming dramatic soprano who could negotiate the music without ever forcing her voice, and who knew how to shade and color the music in a way that brought out the human qualities in Brünnhilde. It is true that she is vocally a bit unsteady in the first half of the \u003ci\u003eSiegfried \u003c\/i\u003eduet, but that music is a trial for a soprano who doesn't sing a note all night until then, and she does settle down for the final push. Her big scenes with Wotan (act II of \u003ci\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/i\u003e and act III of \u003ci\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/i\u003e) and with Siegmund (act II of \u003ci\u003eDie Walküre\u003c\/i\u003e) reveal her to be an intelligent, communicative artist who fully engages with others in meaningful dramatic exchanges. How nice to find that and the vocal heft too!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eWindgassen is a marvelous Siegfried, managing to retain his voice throughout both operas and to sing with more beauty of tone than we usually associate with him. That he knows his way around the role, and inflects it with specificity of characterization, is no surprise. What is disappointing is his assumption of the role of Siegmund in \u003ci\u003eWalküre\u003c\/i\u003e, which he did on almost no notice when Ramon Vinay was taken ill. He sounds tired, and sings flat in both acts I and II. The worst ensemble mess in the entire cycle takes place between him and Knappertsbusch immediately after Sieglinde's \"Der manner Sippe.\" It goes on for quite a while and dilutes the impact of the end of the first act.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThe other great asset is, as you would expect, Hans Hotter, who conveys the complexity of the character of Wotan more completely than any other bass-baritone of the postwar era. The voice is far steadier here than it was for Solti on London's \u003ci\u003eRing\u003c\/i\u003e, though even here his strengths are in musical-dramatic values, not in steady tone production. (In the latter regard, he is stronger in the 1953 Krauss cycle.) The mixture of anger, anguish, tenderness, and love in his feelings for his favorite daughter are crystallized as with no other singer, and he had the variety of color and inflection to maintain one's interest throughout Wotan's long monolog in act II of \u003ci\u003eWalküre\u003c\/i\u003e, given here uncut. Wotan also has a unique combination of arrogance, haughtiness, and humility, and I have never encountered a singer who encapsulated it all as well.

Gré Brouwenstijn is a gleaming, impassioned, youthful Sieglinde, her voice true throughout, and she makes a seductive and scheming Gutrune as well. Josef Greindl, a singer whose reputation I have often had difficulty relating to, is here more than solid. He sings with a steadier tone than was often the case, and he is a vocal and dramatic presence, though greater variety of shade and light would have made his Hunding and his Hagen more interesting. Gustav Neidlinger is the ideal Alberich, the music sung with precision and attention to Wagner's dynamic marks, and the character vividly drawn. One cannot imagine a \u003ci\u003eRing \u003c\/i\u003ecast nearly this well, from top to bottom, today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eAs for Knappertsbusch, this \u003ci\u003eRing \u003c\/i\u003emay be his crowning achievement on disc (though he didn't know it was being preserved for disc at the time). It is not without its problems. Youngren points out some of them (the huge \u003ci\u003eritards \u003c\/i\u003eat key points in two appearances of the \"Ride of the Valkyries\" music, for instance). There are times when momentum and\/or thrust are lost: sometimes this seems to be due to a lapse in concentration, and at other times from a willful change in tempo that makes neither musical nor dramatic sense. The orchestral ending of act I of \u003ci\u003eWalküre \u003c\/i\u003eseems quite badly organized from the podium, and the intensity that had been built up for an hour is somewhat dissipated by oddly directionless conducting in the final minute. At Donner's \"Heda, Heda Hedo\" near the end of \u003ci\u003eRheingold \u003c\/i\u003eKnappertsbusch again loses the momentum for just a moment; but it's a key loss, one that jars. Those, however, are moments in the minority. For the most part, this is conducting of scope, grandeur, and richness, and conducting that keeps moving forward. Most critical commentary on Knappertsbusch centers around matters of tempo (actually, most critical commentary about conducting in general suffers from the same limitation). Tempo is important, but cannot be separated from other interpretive decisions and other aspects of a performance. Central to any performance of a large-scale musical-dramatic work are matters of phrasing, of color, and, most importantly, matters of intensity, of sustenance of tone. It is here where Knappertsbusch scores so compellingly. Listen to the strings repeat the music of \"Der Augen leuchtendes Paar\" in Wotan's farewell, curving themselves lovingly around the theme with just the right touch of portamento and the right degree of vibrato to bring out the poignancy of the moment.

Unlike Krauss, Karajan and to a lesser extent Keilberth, the older conductor took a more measured view of the scores overall, one based on his preference for the long paragraph, well defined, almost pawky rhythms, and prominent \u003ci\u003eritardandi \u003c\/i\u003eat points not always indicated in the score. At moments he seems to lose focus and let things run their own way where ensemble is concerned but, as a whole, especially in \u003ci\u003eRheingold \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/i\u003e, his epic view of the score is almost unsurpassed. Even in the two middle operas there are moments of alternating quiet reflection and earthy energy that are very special.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eHe has at his command an ensemble of dedicated singers who had built their characterisations to a peak of achievement by 1956. Practically all are German-speaking and all have the art of acting with their voices in an immediate and communicative way, not to forget that they each had voices of a Wagnerian power too seldom found today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eThroughout \u003ci\u003eRheingold \u003c\/i\u003eI was astonished and delighted once more by the frightening power and presence of Gustav Neidlinger’s trenchantly sung Alberich and by the detail, feeling and vocal authority of Hans Hotter’s unsurpassed Wotan. Beside them an erstwhile Siegfried, Ludwig Suthaus, offers a Loge who gives every word, even syllable a distinctive colour and meaning, while Jean Madeira’s Erda emits other-worldly authority. And any Rheingold that boasts Josef Traxel, then a leading lyric tenor in Germany, as Froh has a bonus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eFour singers heard in later operas are introduced here. Paul Kuen, another familiar figure, is Mime and provides character without exaggeration. Georgine von Milinkovic introduces us to an imperiously nagging Fricka and comes into her own in the next work. Josef Greindl is a formidable if unsubtle Fasolt, later a granite Hunding and a fearsome Hagen: no wonder, given so much work to do, he sometimes tires a little. Gré Brouwenstijn, a properly worried Freia, then gives us a Sieglinde who develops, in glorious tones, from an introvert to an extrovert when love strikes her. Beside her is Wolfgang Windgassen, standing in at the last moment for an ailing Vinay, and singing a Siegmund who is at once \u003ci\u003ebel canto\u003c\/i\u003e in line yet intensely eloquent. Incredibly, the next evening he is a tirelessly effective Siegfried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eHotter is magnificent in Wotan’s Act 2 monologue, here made to seem at the very heart of the whole cycle, and as ever deeply moving in his Act 3 Farewell, forgiving signs of vocal weariness at the start of the act. By then we have met and admired Astrid Varnay’s very womanly yet heroic Brünnhilde. She occasionally overdoes the histrionics but by and large she has the character in her voice and bones in a way few other dramatic sopranos have managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSiegfried \u003c\/i\u003eHotter manages ideally the humour of his Act 1 colloquy with Mime, his face-off with Neidlinger’s Alberich in Act 2, and his desperation when meeting Madeira’s implacable Erda at the start of Act 3. The awakening of Brünnhilde is not one of the conductor’s best moments but the lovers give their all in the closing duet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px; text-align: left;\"\u003eAll the momentous climaxes of the cycle’s finale find Kna at his most potent and involved, just as in 1951, and Varnay seconds him with her projection of all Brünnhilde’s joy and sorrow. She also – incredibly – took on the Third Norn, at very short notice, Mödl having been taken suddenly ill. Madeira is heard again to advantage as both First Norn and Waltraute – would any singer do both today? Act 2 is simply tremendous. In this work Brouwenstijn returns as a vocally comely Gutrune, and Hermann Uhde, as in all the 1950s cycles, is an unsurpassed Gunther. With the Immolation one rightly feels that the earth has moved and that one has been through a life-enhancing experience, which is as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;
