Description
Vintage London ffrr Wagner Der Ring Des Nibelungen opera box grouping with four opera boxes and the hardcover Ring Resounding by John Culshaw.
Research shows the standard deluxe Solti / Vienna Philharmonic London ffrr Ring set is generally documented as a 19-LP / 4-opera / 1-book configuration with catalog numbers OSA-1309 / OSA-1508 / OSA-1509 / OSA-1604. In this lot, the visible boxes for Götterdämmerung, Siegfried, and Das Rheingold appear related to that London ffrr Solti family, but the included Die Walküre appears to be a Leinsdorf re-release, so this may be a mixed or partially substituted set, not a fully original matched Solti grouping.
Condition:
Outer slipcase shows wear, scuffing, and edge/corner damage. Inner boxes show age wear. LP boxes appear sealed in original shrink wrap and therefore are assumed unplayed, but contents have not been opened or verified. Hardcover Ring Resounding is included and shows wear from age and handling. Because shrink remains in place, this set is being sold as found, and completeness of any enclosed booklets/librettos inside the sealed boxes cannot be confirmed.
Why buyers may want it:
This lot offers the prestige of the Solti Ring name, attractive vintage display value, sealed classical LP appeal, and a desirable companion book. It is also a conversation-piece set for opera collectors even with the probable substitution issue.
With nearly 5 decades in this industry, we know that complex classical box sets live or die on honest presentation, and we prefer to describe exactly what is visible rather than overstate.
