CD95966 Complete Covent Garden Ring 1978
Hi everyone
Here is a Ring cycle that I don't think has been posted on OS before now. It's
the 1978 complete cycle conducted by Colin Davis. Parts of this production were
broadcast in the years preceding, Walkure in 1974 and Siegfried in 1975, but
this was complete cycle broadcast by the BBC over five nights. It was the first
complete ring cycle to be broadcast from Covent Garden since 1965 and finds most
of the cast in excellent form. Included at the end is a short speech Colin Davis
gave after Gotterdammerung. Some original broadcast commentary remains.
Uploaded at 192kps stereo, it actually sounds really good I think.
