This was posted back in 2012 by evarisgalois, but the RS only links are obviously long dead, so I've re-ripped it to go along with some other titles from this lovely little series from Chandos. http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/llf/-/Neeme%2BJ%25C3%25A4rvi%2BWagner%2BTranscriptions/1

This 67-minute, orchestra-only version of Wagner’s famous opera cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen is arranged by Henk de Vlieger, arranger, composer & percussionist in the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic. The work was commissioned by the orchestra & the result is a 14-section fiery musical spectacle entitled The Ring, an orchestral adventure.

This symphonic ‘compilation’ compresses Wagner’s 4 mighty Ring operas, yet includes all the major themes & ‘leitmotifs’. The result is an overwhelming experience & a must for anyone who loves blazing orchestral colours. The Minneapolis Tribune wrote; “The way that De Vlieger has created transitions between scenes & acts is quite ingenious…’ “Bits of Rheingold, Walkure, Siegfried & Gotterdammerung floated past, melded together as if some Wagnerian uperman who understood the whole & articulated it in particular. Highlights were everywhere. Horns, sounded offstage & on, reminded listeners of the great arias, without the singers to sing it… Toward the end, it actually seemed like we had experienced the entire Ring cycle – a tribute to the orchestrator’s talents,’ wrote the Boston Herald following a performance of the work. Coupled to this mighty work is Siegfried Idyll, which is thematically related to the Ring, &  although with quite a different subject matter, complements the Orchestral Adventure perfectly.
