Description
From Siegmund's stormy entrance to Wotan's sorrowful exit, Die Walkure is the most dramatic opera in Wagner's Ring cycle. Here, this 4-CD set with a star cast, James Levine produces “the maximum dramatic significance from the orchestral music” -Gramophone –
“The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra are one of the stars of this performance. The playing is always secure, but goes beyond mere confidence into a gloriously exciting projection of the score's multifarious combinations of colours, nurtured by Levine to produce a richness of detail unsurpassed in any other recording.”
- GRAMOPHONE
