Wagner - The Great Operas [Box Set 36CDs] (2012) FLAC

EMI Classics celebrates the bicentenary of Richard Wagner s birth
in May 1813 with the release of three exclusive sets featuring the
best-loved and most popular works by the late German composer.
The Great Opera Box is a 36-CD collection presenting 11 of Wagner s
operas including the complete Ring cycle. The set presents a
comprehensive survey of Wagner s great operas and features a wealth
of legendary artists, many of whom are particularly renowned for their
interpretations of Wagner s music. Encompassing the profoundly human
themes of love, death, redemption, power and revenge, Wagner s operas
made unprecedented demands on singers stamina and virtuosity.
The operas of Richard Wagner have never been more popular than they
are today, and performances of his Ring cycle continue to fill opera
houses all over the world.
