Die Walküre part 2 (The Copenhagen Ring)

Wotan - James Johnson Brünnhilde - Irene Théorin Siegmund - Stig Fogh Andersen Sieglinde - Gitta-Maria Sjöberg Fricka - Randi Stene Hunding - Stephen Milling Helmwige - Emma Vetter Gerhilde - Ylva Kihlberg Ortlinde - Carolina Sandgren Waltraude - Hanne Fischer Siegrune - Anna Rydberg Rossweise - Elisabeth Jansson Grimgerde - Elisabeth Halling Schwertleite - Ulla Kudsk Jensen Director - Kasper Bech Holten The Royal Danish Orchestra under Sir Michael Schønwandt Excepting James Johnson, the Copenhagen Ring is sung by an entirely Scandinavian cast, mostly in-house from the Royal Danish Opera. Nevertheless, the singing in this recording of the Ring is considered to be world class. The production by Kasper Bech Holten, now Director of Opera at the Royal Opera in London, has been called the Feminist Ring for its unusual perspectives on Wagner's female characters and the decision to choose a framing story focused on Brünnhilde. It is also well-known for its setting in a familial instead of an epic sphere, and its elaborately detailed, cramped set designs. The video recording is characterised by frequent cuts and unusual camera angles. 18 cameras in total were used, including viewpoints from the drain of Mime's sink during the Forging Scene in Siegfried. I uploaded Siegfried instead of Rheingold first because both Das Rheingold and Die Walküre are already available on YouTube. Many thanks to whoever uploaded them for introducing me to this excellent Ring. May be unsuitable for conservative Wagnerians.
