For his monumental Ring cycle, Karajan assembled a world-class cast of singers who possessed an instrumental tone and were able to deliver a vivid and clear declamation of the text. His Berliner Philharmoniker were more than capable of rising to the occasion. Karajan's Ring cycle stands apart from others with its more otherworldly approach, focused on beauty, lyricism, and structure.

This extraordinary recording project will now be released in the Original Source Series for the highest audiophile sound; for the first time, OSS will use the original stereo master — a two-track tape — as its source.

The audiophile vinyl series The Original Source presents outstanding recordings in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and cut the original multitrack tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. The sonic differences to the original releases are considerable: greater clarity, more subtleties and improvements in frequency response, while at the same time less background noise, distortion and compression allow for an audiophile listening experience like never before.

Issued on 180g vinyl and presented in a deluxe 3LP box set edition featuring the original covers and lyrics, this limited and numbered release includes additional photos and facsimiles of the original recording logs and tape boxes.
