CD95325 Covent Garden /Prom ring 2005-6
Hi everyone
I thought it was about time this ring was reloaded. - Terfel's first Wotan I
think. These are BBC radio broadcasts, (the TV broadcasts are no longer
available either). So far as I know Walkure did not receive a radio broadcast
from the ROH, only the Prom version. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong!
The bit rates are variable - I recorded Rheingold and Walkure from the BBC
digital radio stream, which then was at 192kps. Siegfried is a reload from an OS
upload at 128kps stereo. Gotterdammerung is from OS at 320kps. I have partial
opening announcements for Rheingold, but not closing announcements. Fairly
complete announcements for Walkure, but none at all for Siegfried or GD - if
anyone has more complete versions I would be very grateful for an upload. All
the music is present in these files.
