Das Rheingold

Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold from the Op茅ra Bastille, Paris, with Ian Paterson as Wotan. Plus Agostino Steffani's Stabat Mater with Vox Luminis.

Penny Gore introduces Richard Wagner's 'Das Rheingold', in a performance recorded as a concert version at the Op茅ra Bastille, Paris, in November last year. In Part I of 'The Ring of the Nibelung', based on Norse myths, we hear how the theft of the magical Rhine gold and the forging of a ring, which is later on cursed, trigger a series of tragic events in which the Gods, led by Wotan, see their existence compromised in this tale of love, power, greed, treason and revenge. Philippe Jordan conducts a starry cast led by the bass Ian Paterson in the title of Wotan.

Plus, continuing this week's focus on German ensembles, Lionel Meunier directs the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and choral ensemble Vox Luminis in Agostino Steffani's Stabat Mater.
