Der Ring des Nibelungen (Orchestral Music)

Album by Richard Wagner & National Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

Der Ring des Nibelungen is a cycle of four music dramas by German composer Richard Wagner, completed in 1874 and first performed in full in 1876. The work uses expansive late-Romantic orchestration, leitmotif-based thematic development and a continuous through-composed structure, exemplifying Wagner's mature style and exerting a lasting influence on the form and language of opera and orchestral writing.
