How on earth do I find out who is singing in this recording of Der Ring Des Nibe!


Question: How on earth do I find out who is singing in this recording of Der Ring Des Nibelungen!?
All it has is the conductor and the orchestra!. It doesn't even have the year!. I really want to know who is singing the parts!. Maybe somebody could listen to it and tell me!. I want to know who is singing Wotan, Sigmund, Sieglinda, Brunhilde, and Siegfried!.

Answers:
You realize you posted the same website twice!?

Furtwangler, who is credited with conducting your recording in question, died in 1954!. The only Wagnerian singers that I can recall now that were active then, were Lauritz Melchior and Sets Svanholm tenors(sp!.-!?); Kirsten Flagstad and Helen Traubel sopranos(who replaced Flagstad during and after WW II at the Met!.)!.

Two recommendations:

(1) check out You Tube for this particular recording, and just general further research on "The Ring"!.

(2) Wikipedia: make sure you type in his name correctly: "Wilhelm Furtwangler"!. I just read parts of their article on him; and there is a listing of notable recordings: "Contents // #-3"!.

I am a Wagnerian enthusiast - Wagner is one of my three favorite composers, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky being the other two - and if you want my opinion as to the best AUDIO only recording of the Ring ever made, you can't top what is known as "The Golden Ring"!.

This, all four operas, was recorded over a period of years, by Georg Solti and the Vienna Philharmonic: very good cast, including Flagstad's last recording as Fricka in "Das Rheingold"; Birgit Nillsen is the Brunnhilde!. It's "definitive" in my opinion!.

Martha Modl , Ludwig Suthaus , Wolfgang Windgassen , Ferdinand Frantz , Gustav Neidlinger , Sena Jurinac - you'll have to figure out the parts on your own, or buy the Levine CDs or DVDs for the only version as slow and grand as Furtw?ngler!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
