1.Wagner - Das Rheingold [1981] starring: Jeannine Altmeyer, Brigitte Fassbaender, Peter Schreier, Thomas Stewart, Zoltan Kelemen February 04, 2008

Herbert von Karajan's studio film of his Salzburg Festival production was lambasted by critics and flopped at the box-office which resulted in Unitel cancelling the filming of the rest of the cycle, a project they were not enthusiastic about to begin with anyway, having to contend with spiralling costs and Karajan's ego, but the loss is truly all ours. Studio-bound though it is, this is nonetheless a great 'Rheingold', thrilling conducted and sung (even better than Karajan's 1968 audio recording in fact!) and a valuable record of the production itself. If it looks similar to the Met Opera production also available on DVD, this is because it was co-designed by the Gunther-Schneider Siemssen who directed the Met's production, but ... Read More:

I have been corrupted since buying this! I had become so used to 'authentic' readings of Bach's masterpiece that it was a bit of a shock to come across Richter's 1971 interpretation with its colossal forces and deafening choruses. As for tempo, reflect on the 11.5 minutes that it takes the 'Munchener Bach Chor/Orchester/Chorbuben' to roar their way through what takes most people 7 minutes. Still, I love it because of this. Highlights for me include Walter Berry's snarling yet near weeping 'Komm, susses Kreuze', Peter Schreier's dramatic Evangelist and Richter himself, both in his understated conducting and extravagant use of the harpsichord. I have watched this probably more than is healthy and would rate it a 'must buy'.

The release date of this DVD is 28 march 2005, suggesting it is a very recent recording. Not so I'm afraid, it is in fact a 1984 televison recording by the Bavarian TV featuring the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus directed by Sir Colin Davis. The recording does show its age, so this DVD is a bit overpriced.
