Wagner: Siegfried
Conducted by Daniel Barenboim and directed by Harry Kupfer, Wagner's 'Der Ring des Nibelungen' has never been better realised on film than in this legendary production from the Bayreuth Festival, recorded in 1992. An allegory on the struggle for ultimate power, the 'Ring' consists of four epic dramas. In the third part, the hero Siegfried, son of Siegmund and Sieglinde, fulfils his destiny which is to re-forge the sword Nothung and overcome many obstacles to rescue Brünnhilde. Cast includes Siegfried Jerusalem (Siegfried), John Tomlinson (Wanderer), Günter von Kannen (Alberich), Graham Clark (Mime) and Anne Evans (Brünnhilde) with the Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele.
