- Synopsis:
Wagner's tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen concludes with Götterdämmerung. The composer's original draft, in which the gods are redeemed by the hero Siegfried's sacrifice, had fundamentally changed by 1874. Now in this 'cosmic catastrophe' Brünnhilde rides into Siegfried's funeral pyre, the Rhine overflows and Valhalla perishes, and the gods with it. It's the longest and most complex of the four music dramas, and its orchestration is also the most colourful and sophisticated. Siegfried's Rhine Journey and Funeral March and Brünnhilde's immolation scene are some of Wagner's most potent theatrical moments and bring this drama to a shattering conclusion. This is the fourth and final release of the complete Wagner Ring cycle from the Sofia Opera and Ballet published in separate audiovisual releases, on Dynamic Records. - Actors:
