Chandos Wagner: The Goodall Ring Cycle [ENGLISH LANGUAGE]

Hailed as an instant classic in its original LP format, the Goodall Ring was eventually dropped from the catalog. Reissued on CD, it has found a permanent home on the Chandos label, along with nearly 60 other English-language recordings of operatic masterpieces. 'It is, of course sung in English in Andrew Porter's clear and clever translation, by a true ensemble, singing words that we and (more importantly) they can understand in performances honed over many years spent together in the rehearsal studio and on stage. As such, it is that rare thing on disc, a genuinely unique record of a real artistic achievement - one that those of us who experienced it in the theatre will never forget and will want others to share through hearing these recordings.' - BBC
