Der Ring des Nibelungen

Album by Richard Wagner & Clemens Krauss & Orchester der Bayreuther Festspiele

Der Ring des Nibelungen is an opera cycle by German composer Richard Wagner, completed in 1874 and first staged in full in 1876. Musically it employs expansive orchestration, recurring leitmotifs and advanced chromatic harmony within a continuous, through-composed structure, exemplifying Wagner's concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork) and representing a major development in 19th-century opera that shaped subsequent music drama.
