Title: An excellent bargain
Product review: This is a surprisingly good CD for the price. Tennstedt has a good ear for this music, and the Berlin Philharmonic sounds great in early digital sound. It's a very worthy sampler of Wagner's music, although there are many alternatives to consider if you look around a bit. For bargain Wagner shoppers, the top prize has to go to George Szell & the Cleveland Orchestra on Sony -- Szell's 1960's recordings have slightly more limited sonics, but the performances are truly phenomenal -- the best Wagner orchestra on the planet, and at bargain price too! The recent EMI 2 CD compilation of Otto Klemperer's take on this music is also recommended, as is that of Sir Adrian Boult.
