The cast is headed by a galaxy of top class singers at the peak of their powers, including Hans Hotter (Wotan/Wanderer), Birgit Nilsson (Brünnhilde), Wolfgang Windgassen (Siegfried), Ramón Vinay (Siegmund) and Sylvia Fisher (Sieglinde).
The supporting singers are equally distinguished and include Otakar Kraus (Alberich), Georgine von Milinkovicˇ (Fricka), Kurt Böhme (Hagen), Hermann Uhde (Gunther) and Joan Sutherland (Woglinde).
The annual Ring cycle at Covent Garden in the late 1950s was highly regarded by audiences and critics alike for presenting the leading Wagnerian singers of the day in outstanding performances, most of which at that time were conducted by the much admired Rudolf Kempe.
The transfers are being made using high quality source material from Lord Harewood’s collection.
Recorded: Royal Opera House, Covent Garden - 25, 27 September & 1, 4 October 1957
