Asher FischAbout
- The first ever recording of Wagner’s Siegfried in SACD (Hybrid) 5.1 surround sound.
- Reviewers have described the Melba ‘Ring’ cycle as being one of the “most significant recordings of the decade … legendary ... epoch-making ...history-in-the-making … a production worthy of Bayreuth”
- The level of international acclaim for the release of the first instalments Die Walküre (MR 30109194) and ‘Das Rheingold’ (MR 30108990) were unanimous and immediate and is set to continue with ‘Siegfried’.
- ‘Siegfried’ features a superb international cast including Lisa Gasteen, described as “outstanding”, a “world-class Wagnerian” and “up with the great Brünnhildes of our time.”
- The conductor is the young Israeli, Asher Fisch, described as “the real hero of this cycle, “one of the supreme contemporary Wagner interpreters” and one who “has to be counted among the front-runners of recorded ‘Ring’ conductors”.
- Both ‘Die Walküre’ and ‘Das Rheingold’ have been given ecstatic reviews. Quotes include: “a triumph ... thrillingly sung”, (John Wegner) “superb … as Alberich”, (Lisa Gasteen) “one of the Wagnerian greats” , (Asher Fisch) “masterful”.
- Deluxe packaging in a limited-edition hardbound case.
- Historical essays presented in English, German and French, with full libretto in German and English.
