Herbert von KarajanAbout
There are notes on the music as well as an essay by Karajan expert Richard Osborne on the background to Karajan’s Ring, plus a photo gallery of many of the key singers.
There were, and will always be, many competitive Ring cycles on the market, but, as Martin Baker sums up ‘[Karajan] creates […] a transparent aural stage where the light and shade in the music has an almost forensic quality. Musically the Karajan Ring cycle has a visceral intensity that, especially in the subterranean scenes, hints at the sinister mythologies that informed Germany’s recent history and is probably closer to the heart of the narrative’s darkness than any other recording.’
Recorded: 1967 (Rheingold), 1966 (Walküre), 1968/1969 (Siegfried), 1969/1970 (Götterdämmerung)
