Description

RICHARD WAGNER - DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN

A BBC poll recently voted the Solti Ring as the greatest classical recording ever made. This is the original vinyl boxed set, comprising 22 LPs in a wooden presentation case, including a 3-LP introduction to the cycle by Deryck Cooke. A genuine collector's item, and all of the records are in excellent condition - they've been played no more than a dozen times. Am selling because I no longer have a turntable.

Conductor: Georg Solti
Orchestra: Vienna Philharmonic
Recorded by Decca, 1959-1963. Produced by John Culshaw.

As this item is very heavy, I'd prefer the buyer to collect - though delivery could be arranged if necessary. Cash payment preferred as well.
