Wagner Ring Solti Youtube
The effect that the Ring, like all Wagner's mature dramas, has on listeners is strong enough to make individual weaknesses in performances, which there are bound to be in any staging or even purely concert performance of a work involving so many individuals, and lasting so long, less damaging than they might be.
But there are limits, and the first thing that is required is a great Wagner conductor. At present there are none, so it is pointless to hope for a great new recording of the work: and the greatest period of Wagner singing, roughly 1920-1960, means equally that we must look further back for our choices of great recordings than we might for most works.
Title: Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen
Label: Decca 414 115-2
Conductor: Georg Solti
- Decca’s 2012 Anniversary Ring celebrating the birth years of Wagner and Solti is probably the most precious issue in the history of the gramophone. It may be superseded by a basic set lacking the extras, including the high resolution Blu-Ray disc.
- Dec 18, 2012 Thanks for the info Manelus. The Solti Ring already sounds great in standard redbook format. Its just a great recording by a true genius (John Culshaw).

Der Ring Des Nibelungen Solti
The BBC is not responsible for the content of external websites.The most famous, partly because the first, Ring ever released, between 1958 and 1966, is conducted by Georg Solti with brazen vigour, and has an ostentatiously glamorous sound - in fact it is all sound effects - but its cast consists too largely of great singers not at their peak, and it is a matter of exciting moments at best, rather than a moving whole. It retains immense prestige, but I wonder how many people still manage to survive listening to it through [Decca 455 555-2, 14 CDs].

It was followed closely by the Herbert von Karajan recording, a very different affair, all refinement and silky textures, except for occasional outbursts of brutality. Already, between the late 1950s and a decade later, we can hear a decline in the standard of singing. Whatever weaknesses a recording can absorb, the roles of Wotan, Brünnhilde, Siegfried and Alberich must be at least fairly impressive, and Karajan's recording, with changes for each of the major roles from one drama to the next, shows that he himself was uneasy with the results, and rightly. Marvellous playing from the Berlin Philharmonic is not enough.
