ALL OPERAS - ALL LOVING MUSIC !

Wagner's Ring on DVD
Excellent presentations. Excellent purchase process. Delivery was within 2 or 3 days of transaction.

Epic performance
This is an epic performance of the most epic of operas. The Met brings all of its awesome technical capabilities to bear in creating a splendid, if traditional, visual presentation, very nearly matched by sumptuous and passionate vocal and theatrical performances. James Morris is one of the best Wotans of the past generation. Siegfried Jerusalem is a thrilling Siegfried (and a surprisingly good Loge). Hildegarde Behrens does not fit the usual physical type for a Walkure and is not Birgit Nilssen, but still sings and acts a vital and exciting Brunnhilde. Christa Ludwig and Jessye Norman both are perhaps a little past their primes, but do very well in filling their rolls as Fricka and Sieglinde. Etc., etc. all the way through the impressive and large cast. Levine's conducting is never boring and often electrifying. I was very pleased with this DVD set, especially after being very disappointed in the Met's static and boring Tristan.
