Wagner / Jordan,Philippe Great Symphonic CD

In June 2013 the Paris Opera, under it's music director Philippe Jordan, marked Wagner's bicentenary with Der Ring des Nibelungen. It was the first time in more than 60 years that the company had performed the complete cycle under festival conditions. This program of excerpts from the Ring, with Jordan conducting the Orchestra of the Paris Opera, is rounded off with Brunnhilde's Immolation Scene, sung by today's leading Wagnerian dramatic soprano, Nina Stemme.
