I haven't seen all of these others to compare, but I thought Walkure Act 1 was outstanding. Brunnhilde and Wotan were not among the best, though. The much-hyped machine set was mostly a distraction and disappointing when it was in motion, especially during the ride of the valkyries.

From Siegfried you may add the Wanderer-Alberich confrontation.<BR/><BR/>From Parsifal it would have to be the "gesegnet sei" and "mittag" section from Act 3. <BR/><BR/>From Tristan, it would have to be Tristan´s Act 3 monologue, but only with Jon mostly opera...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05653818157295091506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483678492345755723.post-55044241777019478762009-01-20T05:38:00.000+01:002009-01-20T05:38:00.000+01:00Toshiba-EMI issued another Ring-DVDs, which are av...Toshiba-EMI issued another Ring-DVDs, which are available in Japan only.<BR/><BR/>Sawalisch/Munich 1989.

Maybe as a topic for a future post? It would be interesting to compare with my own as well as other readers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483678492345755723.post-63893225737945767702009-01-19T12:21:00.000+01:002009-01-19T12:21:00.000+01:00I've seen the Barenboim/Kupfer, the Barcelona and ...I've seen the Barenboim/Kupfer, the Barcelona and the Met Ring, and I must say that I totally agree with you. Now for my own list I would also add the Stockholm Ring, but that's because I've made my own DVDs of it when it was broadcast on Swedish tv. I'm very anxious to get my hands on the Copenhagen Ring though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483678492345755723.post-20789885406023555602009-01-19T09:32:00.000+01:002009-01-19T09:32:00.000+01:00I've seen all of these productions, but the Amster...I've seen all of these productions, but the Amsterdam Ring, and would basically agree with you on the rankings. Though, my list would probably have only one, but major distinction. I would change the places of Copenhagen and Stuttgart rings. Musically I believe Stuttgart ring is far better, with some nice orchestra and some fine to good singing. Conceptually and as Regietheater far more Bogdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14736015779012529107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5483678492345755723.post-28877878169712356762009-01-19T02:19:00.000+01:002009-01-19T02:19:00.000+01:00Couldn't agree more about the fact (and it really ...Couldn't agree more about the fact (and it really is fact, not opinion) that the opening of Siegfried, Act 3 is just the height of perfection!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
