Знаменитый маэстро и признанный интерпретатор Вагнера, Лорин Маазель собрал партитуру из инструментальных фрагментов четырех опер тетралогии «Кольцо нибелунга». Он не дописал ни единой ноты и не изменил порядка сцен в оригинале. Результат – 70 минут музыки без пения и слов с грандиозными «Путешествием Зигфрида по Рейну», «Полетом Валькирий», «Траурным маршем» и «Закланием». Под эту музыку гремит амбициями сам дирижёр с музыкантами оркестра Берлинской филармонии
Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
