Title: Inexpensive Furtwangler Ring Cycle
Post by: Wilhelm Richard on October 06, 2008, 07:56:42 PM
You may have seen my question about Futwangler's two Ring recordings on the Opera board...In doing research on the two recordings I have come across several cases where owners of one or both of the recordings have found the sound quality so offensive they have given away or sold their
sets ------ anyone here looking to do that at this time?  :)

  Best of luck with your search  :).

You can get some version of the La Scala cheap here:

Not sure what remastering but do you care? You dress up a frog and it is still a frog right?
