CD85717 Das Rheingold Ring des Nibelungen 1996 Covent Garden
Product Description
CD85717 Das Rheingold Ring des Nibelungen 1996 Covent Garden
A new year's gift for the Group's Wagnerians. Recorded from BBC Radio 3 on VHS stereo tape and transferred digitally at 256 kbps mp3 files. I have included all of the radio commentary that I recorded at the time, keeping it in separate files where appropriate. In Die Walküre, Anne Evans was unwell after Act 2 and was replaced by Penelope Chalmers for Act 3. I assume that Carla Poell continued as a replacement in Siegfried before Anne Evans returned for the concluding part, but if anyone knows more, please correct me.
Enjoy, Alvaro

We sell only opera recordings. The recordings are sent to you in paper sleeves with no tray card or inserts, just the raw discs with printed labels. These recordings are of nonprofessional quality that are in the public domain. The quality of these old opera recordings is not very good and they are meant for collectors and educational purposes only. Most of them are 30 or 40 years old, so they might be blurry, colors faded, and not sound very good, but they might not be available elsewhere. Please note that most of our recordings do not have tracks, they have 1 long track per disc.
