Description
WAGNER DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN ORIG DECCA 22 LP MINT
DECCA PRESENTATION SET 22 UK LPS IN WOODEN BOX
Richard Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen in the original limited Decca Presentation Set: 22 LPs with booklets and wooden box. Awesome UK TWENTY TWO stereo LP boxed set of the complete edition of Richard Wagner's four part opera, 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', also known as 'The Ring Cycle' featuring the four operas 'Das Rheingold','Die Walkure', 'Siegfried' and 'Gotterdammerung'.
Included is the three record introduction to 'The Ring' set narrated by Deryck Cooke featuring excerpts from the four operas.
Each opera is in its own separate wooden ended partition with full size libretto booklets containing synopsis & full transcription for the operas. The performance is simply THE classic version by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Georg Solti, a powerful orchestral drama, phenomenal performance and exceptional dynamic and open sound quality.
The whole ensemble is enclosed in a very weighty carved wooden box with gilded front panel. The impressive box shows only little wear, the wooden/leather spines show some some tear over the past forty years. Librettos are stunning MINT to MINT-. Best of all the vinyl LPs are stunning glossy and super clean MINT to MINT-. I cannot imagine you will ever find better copies of these LPs that appear NEW. All covers appear super clean and in excellent condition. THIS IS THE SET TO OWN OF THIS GLORIOUS OPERA! ULTRA RARE AND A MUST FOR THE DEDICATED FAN AS WELL AS ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIOPHILES!
