Recorded live at the Bayreuth Festival in 2008, this production is the third part of Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle. Christian Thielemann, one of the most sought-after conductors in the world, takes the baton with the Bayreuth Festival Chorus and Orchestra.

“Thielemann’s conducting holds all in glorious Wagner. …tremendous singing.” The Stage

“ ... there is no doubt that this year's Ring at Bayreuth belongs to… Thielemann... [who] creates a musical experience epic in its scale and inexorable in its apocalyptic, shattering power.” The Guardian
