One of the great and important Ring cycle, although not in very good sound, due to the recording conditions. The performances speak for themselves and should be heard by anyone interested in the Ring. However, don't get this download. The CD box itself can be had for a fraction of this price, usually under $40. Why Opera d'Oro/iTunes charge $140 for the download is unknown, but this is a case where the unwary consumer will be totally ripped off.
