“THE GREATEST RECORDING OF ALL TIME”
as voted by Gramophone & BBC Music Magazines
SOUNDING BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE
NEW 24bit/192kHz TRANSFER AND AVAILABLE IN SPATIAL AUDIO FOR THE FIRST TIME
Decca’s landmark recording of Wagner’s 15-hour epic, Der Ring des Nibelungen conducted by Sir Georg Solti is the most celebrated classical recording in history. Today we are proud to announce a brand-new series of sumptuous releases – remastered using the latest technology to bring this gold-standard recording to a new generation.
It is both the most celebrated, and the world’s best-selling opera recording — a recording project on a scale without precedent and the first-ever studio recording of Wagner’s masterpiece, it took seven years to record from 1958 to 1965.
For these new editions, a decade since the last remastering, a completely new set of high-definition 24 bit/192kHz transfers of the original master tapes have been utilised.
Significant strides forward have been possible thanks to these new transfers at this resolution and a more sophisticated set of remastering tools. The glorious new recordings of each opera are presented in new deluxe editions—on half-speed vinyl and hybrid SACD—with lavish packaging, and also available digitally in Spatial Audio for the very first time.
