"No one has bettered Solti’s Decca Ring in terms of sweep, scope, grandeur, dramatic immediacy, and sheer adrenalin" - Stereophile
The first stereo recording of Richard Wagner's complete Ring cycle made in the studio has since acquired a cult following and voted the "best recording of all time" twice.
As second instalment of the legendary SOLTI Ring, the WALKÜRE is released as a Limited Deluxe 4 HYBRID SACD edition, in a 12" slipcase. Audiophile Hybrid SACDs can be played on every CD player and the digital resolution is much higher than a usual CD just allowing for better sound experiences.
NEW 24bit/192kHz Stereo Transfer. As described by the Gramophon Magazine: "It can be said in good conscience that the Solti Ring has never sounded better." based on the edition on a new HD transfer of the original master tapes.
A dream cast made out of leading Wagner singers of their day: Birgit Nilsson, James King, Régine Crespin, Gottlob Frick, Hans Hotter, Christa Ludwig and Brigitte Fassbaender.
