This recording is from the famous Solti Bayreuth Ring of 1983, with stage direction by Peter Hall. Solti originally wanted Reiner Goldberg for his Siegfried, but was forced to take Manfred Jung. Hildegard Behrens is a strong Brunhilde, Jung is a stalwart Siegfried. Solti intended to return to Bayreuth the following season, but ill health prevented him from continuing to develop this Ring. Unfortunately, I am unaware of any other recordings from this cycle except Gotterdammerung.
