Stutzmann conducts Wagner’s Ring Without Words

On the heels of her tremendous success at the Bayreuth Festival, Nathalie Stutzmann — one of today’s leading Wagner interpreters — conducts this wordless distillation of The Ring Cycle. Lorin Maazel (who later served as Music Director of the NY Phil) produced this 75-minute version of orchestral music from Wagner’s great epic — all in the original order and without adding a single note of his own.
