Siegfried [Blu-ray] [Import]

Richard Wagner Siegfried Der Ring des Nibelungen Live recording from the Teatro alla Scala, Milan, 2012 Siegfried Lance Ryan Mime Peter Bronder Der Wanderer Terje Stensvold Alberich Johannes Martin Kränzle Erda Anna Larsson Brünnhilde Nina Stemme Teatro alla Scala Conductor Daniel Barenboim Stage Director Guy Cassiers In Siegfried, the "Second Day" or third evening of the Ring Cycle, we meet the pivotal hero of the epic tale. The energetic drive from Die Walküre is pursued here while Siegfried finally recaptures the mighty ring from Fafner the Dragon and awakens Brünnhilde from her penal sleep on the great rock. Lance Ryan, having interpreted this role on the greatest stages of the world including the Bayreuth Festival, portrays the naïve hero. His antagonists are Peter Bronder, great and agile as Mime, Terje Stensvold, an experienced Wanderer and Johannes Martin Kränzle, who continues his mean and deceitful depiction of Alberich. The leading ladies are Nina Stemme, once again unrivalled as Brünnhilde and Anna Larsson, moving as the God-mother Erda.
