About

Karl Elmendorff and Kurt Striegler were two of many composers responsible for splendid interpretations of Wagner's operas in Dresden in the first half of the twentieth century. At their disposal was the incomparable Staatskapelle, a high quality opera chorus and many outstanding singers, some of which appear on this recording. Featured are works from a selection of Wagner’s most famous operas.
