I'm a music fan but not a Classical music buff and unfamiliar with wagners work, but when I heard the overture "Vorspiel das Rheingold" I was instantly attracted to the piece.
Not being sure I could get on with the full operas, this disc had the answer. Highlights of the instrumental pieces of the opera on one disc. Super Audio Compact Disc sealed the deal. The best high resolution DSD sound quality to show off the HI FI. I would not presume to review Wagners work, but for someone wanting to dip their toes in the (Wagner)water, this is disc a great disc to start.

Don't worry about compatability problems with this disc. If you do not have a SACD player, it will play on the standard CD layer perfectly well. The obvious comparison is with the Telarc CD conducted by Maazel-The Ring Without Words. Both are very fine sounding discs, and it is well worth having both. The Jarvi arrangement is more wayward than the Maazel version which sticks closer to the original. If I were to choose just one, I would go for the Telarc, and it is half the price of the Chandos disc. However, if you have a SACD stup, you would benefit from the Chandos disc.

This is an arrangement, published in 1991 and constructed by someone called Henk de Vlieger, of some of Wagner's music from the Ring. Apparently, the renowned conductor Lorin Maazel had already done something similar, but I do not know who his arrangement compares with Vlieger's. Vlieger's adventure lasts an hour on this disc, which was recorded in 2007.
Vlieger's work is subtitled `an orchestral adventure', so it is not a formal symphony using Wagner's themes; rather, the music flows naturally from one section into the other. However, the sleevenotes (by Maarten Brandt) relate how Vlieger has created a symphonic structure within the music's parts: thus, sections one to four, five and six, seven to nine, and ten to fourteen correspond to a traditional four-movement symphonic format, with the `scherzo' being the second rather than third movement.
Equally, the aforementioned four parts take music directly from the respective four parts of the Ring. We thus open with music arranged from the `Vorspiel' of `Das Rheingold' and end with `Brunnhildes Opfertat' from `Gotterdammerung'. Half the music comes from the final opera. The sleevenotes explain that Vlieger did this because the final opera "constitutes an enormous recapitulation of everything preceding it."
Does it work? Not really. And there is no reason why it should: would you make a symphony from `Don Giovanni' or `Peter Grimes'? I felt a little cheated that within seven minutes of the start of this adventure I am already in Nibelheim. And the supposed pseudo-symphonic format is quite bogus. Take the seven-minute scherzo: it opens with the `Ride of the Valkyries' and closes with the `Magic Fire' music, but there is no intimation of a trio, and no repeat of the Valkyries. Instead we segue straight into the `Waldweben' from `Siegfried', forming the opening to an `adagio'. So this arrangement is neither one thing nor the other: it is, instead, `an adventure'.
A decent `Siegfried-Idyll' fills the rest of the disc.
