About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

In addition to his legendary Ring Cycle, Sir Georg Solti recorded six other Wagner operas: Tristan und Isolde, Tannhäuser, Parsifal, Der Fliegende Holländer, Lohengrin, and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (the last one twice). This limited-edition box set, specially priced, gathers all six operas (with the Chicago version of Meistersinger) in one lavish 22-disc collection. Each recording has been digitally remastered from the original tapes to state-of-the-art sound. Full texts and translations are included, along with the cover art from the original LPs and, as an added bonus available for the first time on CD, The Birth of an Opera -- a portrait of Solti leading a rehearsal of Tristan und Isolde.
