Awards and reviews

July 2019

With excellent sound, singing that is often way above average and a production team that appreciates the stormier elements of Wagner’s humbling rhetoric, we have a Ring that shoots straight from the hip. The vocal star, at least for me, is the charismatic and darkly imposing presence of Matthias Goerne, whose assumption of Wotan…is vocally magnificent, his projection effortless, always rich in tone, texturally smooth yet vividly suggestive of the character…As first-stop Rings go, this has to be among the very best.
