I happen to be one of those people that thinks Janowski's 80's studio recording of the Ring Cycle is one of the better on record and so Pentatone's release of the first of his 10 part Wagner cycle is somewhat pleasing. Although the CD/SACD will not be available until the end of August, if you so wish, you can pick this up as a digital download from any of your favourite on-line retailers (who can also give you previews to help decide if this is another of the many Dutchmen recordings out there you might want to own). Recorded at a concert performance in 2010. Full details below.
I have found only one review so far but there will be more if you look around I am sure (Review)
