Wagner / Orch Der Bayreuther Festspiele / Kempe - Die Walkure - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In 1983 Ian Anderson released his debut solo album, Walk Into Light. Embracing the advances in musical technology during the early 1980s, the album was made in close collaboration with Peter-John Vettese. Recorded on 24-track using mainly electronic instruments including an early drum machine at Ian Anderson's home studio in Buckinghamshire, the album has now been remixed using more natural sounding drums by Bruce Soord. The album kicks off with the single 'Fly By Night'.

At the most recent production at the Vienna State Opera, the twins were sung by Nina Stemme and - for the first time in the role - Johan Botha. Since then both soloists have enjoyed international success in even more dramatic Wagner roles. This CD of the live performance of the first act is ideal for all those who are curious to hear more, but perhaps hesitate to get to grips with complete, modern performances of the Ring.
