4 Audio cassettes "In this fascinating, four-tape analysis, Texaco-Metropolitan Opera Broadcast Host Peter Allen delves into Wagner's massive Ring cyle. He discusses important background information, such as the many sources of the four music dramas, and the circumstances in Wagner's life during the nearly thirty years that he worked on his tetralogy. Allen tells the complete stories of Das Rheingold, Die Walküre, Siegfriend and Gotterdammerung, using hundreds of musical examples to illustrate the complicated stories, and to sort out Wagner's complex system of leitmotifs. In this unique presentation, Allen provides a wonderful introduction to the Ring for those who do not know it, as well as fascinating material for those who want to learn more about this extraordinary work. All musical selections have been taken from the digital EMI recordings, conducted by Bernard Haitink."
