Wagner: The Ring Without Words

Edward Gardner, reunites with the Norwegian National Opera Orchestra for 'Wagner: The Ring Without Words', a 70-minute orchestral work, compiled by the legendary conductor Lorin Maazel, distilling Wagner's entire operatic 'Ring Cycle' into a purely orchestral piece. This album combines some of the cycle's most memorable orchestral passages into a continuous symphonic work, without adding a single note of music not written by Wagner.
