Background: 'probably the single most powerful Ring recording ever made' - Fanfare. 'It may not be possible to listen to this Scala version regularly without going mad, but if somebody tells you a meteorite is earthbound and you've fifteen hours to live, throw away the other sets and see the world end with this' - Times on Sunday.

'… this is the finest Wagner … In a performance recorded near the end of his career, Furtwangler brings a lifetime's hard won skill and insight to bear on this malevolent masterpiece … Ignore the less than perfect sound (your ears will adjust very quickly) and concentrate on the superb sense of line and narrative this conductor displays: from the moment the gold is stolen, you'll be on the edge of your seat, feeding your CD player until the final chord of Gotterdammerung. This is a Ring which doesnt' hang about: Furtwangler seems to have his finger on the pulse of the work, knowing when to hang fire and when to press ahead. The cast, too, is fabulous: this is Flagstad's only complete recording of Brunhilde, Gunther Treptow shines as Siegmund and Set Svanholm gives his finest recorded performance as Siegfried. No matter how many Rings you already have, you must have this one!' International Record Review.
