I wanted a Das rheingold only on a CD just for listening(you'll never consider this production on a DVD).After reading some reviews i ended up with this one here for the promised good recording sound.And it was not as graded at all.Bold but not good.Too high and a lot of noise around the singers or the musical orchestra.Such a cacophony was not tolerable to me.And of course i did send it back to the seller who had nothing to do with the worst "wagner" Das rheingold i ever had to listen to.Forget by who ?(D. Barenboim) and from where ? (Bayreuth festival live) even for a bargain forget it. It's a waste of "time"...hooup!
