Richard Wagner - Das Rheingold (2 Dvd)

From the legendary stage of the Het Musiektheater Amsterdam comes a definitive production of Richard Wagner's landmark tetralogy performed on an astonishing, ring-shaped stage and featuring spot-on stage direction by Pierre Audi and awe-inspiring sets by George Tsypin. Guest conductor Hartmut Haenchen leads a orchestra that stretches from the pit all around the spectacular stage, with soloists John Bröcheler, Henk Smit, Graham Clark, Reinhild Runkel, Chris Merritt, and Anne Gjevang lending fantastic vocalization to a production worthy of revisiting whenever the spirit of the theater takes hold.
