Harry Kupfer’s staging is one of Bayreuth Festival’s most outstanding Ring Cycle productions. As Maestro Daniel Barenboim points out, it is “timeless… not limited to a certain time or a certain Zeitgeist” (spirit of the times).

NEWLY REMASTERED 11-DVD BOX SET

Kultur is pleased to announce its release of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, filmed at the Bayreuth Festspielhaus in June & July 1991 and 1992. This historic Ring Cycle, under the musical direction of Daniel Barenboim.

In going back to the original high definition video master tapes and using cutting-edge encoding technology, Kultur was able to maximize the video quality of this new presentation of this historic Ring. Along with the 11-disc transfer, this allowed Kultur to exploit the DVD standard to its fullest and including three audio streams, LPCM, Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1. The production of Wagner’s Ring at the Bayreuth Festival is an event that takes place every six years. Bayreuth recordings of the complete cycle are rare; this is the second filmed version. The Kupfer/Barenboim Ring was performed over a five-year period and recorded at the conclusion when the “Bayreuth Workshop” had raised “the quality of the performance to an almost unsurpassable level” (Der Tagesspiegel),
