The Ring of the Nibelung and others
Album by Richard Wagner
The Ring of the Nibelung is a cycle of four epic music dramas by German composer Richard Wagner, completed between 1874 and 1876 and first performed in full in 1876. The cycle is characterised by expansive orchestration, recurring leitmotifs and advanced chromatic harmony, and it occupies a central place in the history of German Romantic opera for its scale and influence on later orchestral and theatrical practice.
