Wagner: Das Rheingold 1959 - Vinyl

Commemorating the 25th anniversary of Sir Georg Solti's passing: 'The Greatest Recording Of All Time', now sounding better than ever before. The first-ever stereo production of Wagner's Ring cycle, still considered the benchmark today. 'Here is the greatest achievement in gramophone history yet', wrote Gramophone in 1965. For many, it still is.
