简介：
Decca masterpiece collection vol.3
The reissue of this Decca masterpiece series by ESOTERIC has attracted a lot of attention, both for its uncompromising commitment to recreating the original master sound, and for using hybrid Super Audio CD (SACD) technology to improve sound quality. This series marks the first hybrid SACD release of the title that have been mainstays of the catalog since their initial release on LP, until the present digital age of CD. These new audio versions feature newly created DSD master.
The first original recording of Wagner’s “Ring”
Starting with “Das Rheingold” in 1958, followed by “Siegfried” (1962), “Götterdämmerung” (1964), and finally “Die Walküre” (1965), Decca spent a total of 8 years in the studio working to produce the complete collection of the musical drama “Der Ring des Nibelungen”. This grand undertaking was more than just the first full recording of this work. It was also the birth of a timeless masterpiece that has seen neither its value nor enchantment diminish in the 45 years since its completion and initial release.
The ensemble for this recording is nothing short of spectacular. The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Georg Solti, who was in his forties at this time, the preeminent Wagner vocalists of the 20th, and acclaimed producer and “avid” Wagnerian John Culshaw, were all brought together to perform this masterpiece. Together they produced a recording full of passion and purpose. This complete collection is the single greatest recording of the “Ring”, allowing listeners to experience the glorious sound of the concert hall in their own home. This recording was also epoch-making for it revolutionized the way opera was recorded.

Uncompromising attention to detail reflected in this unrivaled masterpiece
The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra enjoys special distinction for its long history of performing Wagner as part of its regular repertoire. Under the direction of Solti, the orchestra adds flesh and blood to this piece, delivering a rich and robust performance that does not neglect a single note (as of yet this is the only complete recording from Decca of Wagner’s “Ring” performed by the VPO). In regards to the vocals, the premiere vocalists of the 20th century were brought together, with each cast in the role best suited to their respective talents.
The casting by producer Culshaw is flawless, and is further complemented by regular performers of Wagner's operas for Bayreuther Festspiele such as Nilsson, Windgassen, Hotter, Neidlinger, and Stolze. Flagstad, who was well-known in the first half of the 20th century for her portrayal of Brunhild, was recruited to play the part of Fricka (mezzo soprano). Fischer-Dieskau was entrusted with the role of Gunther, a character who had yet to be performed on stage. In addition, younger vocalists of the time, such as Popp, Fassbaender, Sutherland and Jones, were given a chance to showcase their talents through their portrayal of minor characters.
