Music reviews of Wagner: Das Rheingold

Music Review: A Ring Newbie Review
Rating: 5 Stars

First off, there is no way that I am going to sound as erudite and learned as these other reviewers. I am not well versed in the ways of this music and have only begun to discover this treasure trove called Der Ring Des Nibelungen. All I can really add is that this recording has effected me in a highly visceral manner. The raw emotion and energy of a live performance comes pouring out through my speakers along with a stunning degree of fidelity and balance between the orchestral and vocal components. And to this layman's ears these singers have got an unparalleled command of their instrument. I have done a lot of research, and have taken a big plunge by purchasing this very $$$$$ set but I am learning rather quickly that the purchase was worth every penny. I can't wait to discover what awaits in the rest of the cycle.

Description of Wagner: Das Rheingold

This, the third installment in the first stereo Ring (once thought lost), from the stage of the Bayreuth Festival in 1955, is as impressive and crucial to any collection as the previously released Siegfried and Die Walk?re. Joseph Keilberth, whose devotion to Wagner was so great that he died conducting the second act of Tristan, leads an incredibly tight performance--almost jaunty in its storytelling. The opening chord, depicting the Rhine, is not played softly as marked; it does rather plunge us into the action with more energy than usual. The singing is universally remarkable. Hans Hotter's Wotan towers in its snideness and potency, while the Fricka of Georgine von Milinkovic is more subtle and alluring than we're accustomed to. Gustav Neidlinger's Alberich is, as on so many other recordings in which he sings this role, something to reckon with--a despicable but wretched character. The giants of Ludwig Weber and Josef Greindl have probably never been bettered; Paul Kuen's Mime is articulate and creepy and Rudolf Lustig's Loge is wily and clearly, cleanly sung. The only stain on this recording is the dreadful hissing noise given off by something called a "Mixtur-Trautonium," an electronic device invented to simulate the sound of the Nibelungs' anvils in Nibelheim. It's a distraction, but it can be lived with. This set is a must-have, and the extraneous noise during that scene is small price to pay for a performance this thrilling. --Robert Levine
