A Ring Newbie Review
First off, there is no way that I am going to sound as erudite and learned as these other reviewers. I am not well versed in the ways of this music and have only begun to discover this treasure trove called Der Ring Des Nibelungen. All I can...

A major disappointment
I'm so glad that I didn't listen to "Das Rheingold" from this "Ring" until the very last, because I agree with Andre Filippe Vital. This is in many ways a disappointing recording and the weakest link of this "Ring."

More variable than the other Ring installments from Keilberth
Once you are used to the high standards of Keilberth's best Wagner (in the case of the 1955 Ring cycle, the best is Siegfried and Gotterdammerung), a sloppy Rheingold comes as a bit of a letdown. I see that other reviewers are praising it as equal...

Wagner's Rheingold, Keilberth 1955 Bayreuth recording: wonderful stuff
This is a truly wonderful recording, and a pleasure to listen to. The whole thing, from opening to end, feels like a single continuous breath, and the details are no less stunning.

Desert Island Ring Cycle
I've just finished listening to Das Rheingold, and now, having already bought and listened to the other installments of Testament/Keilberth ring cycle, I am ready to pronounce that the complete set would be my choice for a desert island Ring....

Gold Standard Wagner
Conspiracy theories arose about why Decca and the big labels aborted the release of this recording but the greatness of what followed -- Solti's Ring -- explains and justifies the label's greater vision. Nevertheless the musical peaks, insights...

An AWESOME "Rheingold" from a "RING" for the Ages!
This recording of Wagner's "Das Rheingold" recorded live at Bayreuth in 1955 is a TRUE masterpiece, a testament to the heights that can be reached when "everyone works together" for the sake of the "art" itself, not self-aggrandisement (which we...

Age defying performance.
Never let the age of this recording deter you. It is vibrant. It is alive. The companion Götterdämmerung is even a little harsh - it adds to the primordial nature of the people. This performance is astounding. Hotter, whose contributions to...

What a find!
What a find this recording is! Along with others in this "Ring" series, Keilberth's performance adds invaluably to what we know about the Bayreuth performing tradition. As a conductor, Keilberth has at times been underrated by reviewers, but this...
