Christian ThielemannAbout
The music is richly textured and grows in complexity as the cycle proceeds - Wagner wrote for an orchestra of gargantuan proportions, including a greatly enlarged brass section with new instruments invented especially for the work.
The Bayreuth Festspielhaus was constructed for this work to be performed in, with a specially designed stage that allows singers' voices to blend with the huge orchestra without straining - essential for such long performances.
Recorded live at the Bayreuth Festival in 2008, this production stars a host of international stars including Michelle Breedt, Albert Dohmen and Hans-Peter König. Christian Thielemann, one of the most sought-after conductors in the world, takes the baton with the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra.
