Der Ring des Nibelungen discography. The four operas of Richard Wagners cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen together take about 1. CDs, and a lot of studio time. For this reason, many full Ring recordings are the result of unofficial recording of live performances, particularly from the Bayreuth Festival where new productions are often broadcast by German radio.

I have never come across an audience with so much hatred, so much anger, such a thirst for revenge. They take everything personally. It makes you a little bit scared, and its really quite terrifying. Lance Ryan on the audiences at BayreuthConducting at BayreuthBayreuths special and much praised acoustic is actually only fully functional in Parsifal. It is certainly also one of the reasons why Wagner uses a style that is far closer to chamber music for this work. In the earlier pieces, composed for other stages, but also in the Ring, which elaborates far denser structures than Parsifal, and especially in Die Meistersinger too, one is aware that the Bayreuth acoustic is by no means ideal since it blurs the contrapuntal element of these works.

Bayreuth Festival official photographer Enrico Nawrath has published a book with photographs from the Bayreuth Festival, Bayreuth Backstage, published by Schott Music. The photos take us backstage to show us what goes on when preparations are made for the Festival and its productions. The world on stage is a distant, magical world for us spectators. Here the drama unfolds betrayal, love, death, redemption, longing and suffering. For me, the world behind the stage the everyday world of the stage workers, technicians, hair dressers, wigmakers, lightning workers, make up artists etc. Together these people create all the details we in the auditorium take for granted. We often forget the enormous amount of work behind a production. Enrico Nawrath takes us backstage to this hidden world of preparations and rehearsals. The high quality photographs are well selected and gives a great impression of what goes on backstage at Bayreuth. Katharina Wagner has written a foreword. Bayreuth Backstage for your eyes only.
