Title: ghastly, abominable
Review: having completed the ne plus ultra Boulez Ring and the its "making of disc", a friend and I turned to this dvd to see what was new. The music and singing might have been OK for all we could tell, but the staging mocked the opera, rather than enhanced it. Brunhilde was quite frankly fat, old, and ugly. Siegfried was middle aged and scantily dressed in a bearskin. The stage setting was a pastiche of cliches. In Wagner, the words come first, the music second, and the stagecraft last. The stage work is supposed to illuminate, not distract.
