Description

1970 UK 22 stereo LP boxed set of the complete edition of Richard Wagner's four part opera 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', also known as 'The Ring Cycle' featuring the four operas 'Das Rheingold', 'Die Walkure','Siegfried' and 'Gotterdammerung'. There is also a unique three record introduction to 'The Ring' set narrated by Deryck Cooke featuring excerpts from the four operas.  Each opera is in its own separate wooden ended partition with full size libretto booklets containing synopsis & full transcription for the operas.  The performance is THE classic version by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Georg Solti, a powerful orchestral drama, phenomenal performance and superb sound. 
The whole ensemble is enclosed in a very weighty wood and leather (?) box with gilded front panel.

The overall condition is good. The LPs look to be in very good order though have not been played in recent times. Some of the glue on a few slip cases has dried out so some covers are slightly loose.All are original. The libretto booklets are also a bit loose in some cases with one sellotaped repair. There are some pencil annotations in some of the booklets (see pic for example).
Local free collection possible as heavy box to send
