This is a recording of staged performances (sung in english), under the by then legendary Reginald Goodall, with English National Opera. He coached the singers for years in their roles, loved every note and yet had a sovereign concern for the architecture of the whole structure. Andrew Porter's translation has weathered the years very well. It sounds implausible, but this is one of the greatest achievements of Wagner interpretation on disc, and is indispensable for probing the depths and details of this inexhaustible work.
