My fault, indeed. Thinking of so many recordings (I have some 25 RING sets here) I forgot the most important, perhaps. For me it is the most important. But Graeme, it was not the first recording of the complete RING. Moralt�s RING in Vienna & the RING with Furtwaengler were around 1951. Both were productions, but one act as a one piece session & public concert always. The 1937 RING of the MET is probably the oldest on record, but it was live recorded.
The SOLTI Ring is the first ever with the "Schnipsel Techique" (= takes & cuts & takes & cuts again, but with superb result). There was no audience. =========================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Graeme Evans Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 10:32 AM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] seigfried's long call Hans Pizka wrote: > There are numerous recordings of the RING on the market: > > Metropolitan Opera New York (Levine), Berlin Philharmonic (von Karajan), > Dresden (Janovski), Bayreuth (Kempe, Keilberth, Adam Fischer, Peter > Schneider, & many others), Buenos Aires (2 sets Wallberg & Erich > Kleiber), Graz (Klobucar), Karlsruhe, Vienna Symphony (Moralt), etc. To say nothing of the first complete "Ring" recording (Decca 1958 - 1965) with Solti/VPO/Nilsson/Windgassen/Crespin/Hotter etc. The Long Call is played superbly by Roland Berger.
