Compared to original RCA boxset newest Sony has 24 bit mastering seen along bottom of box (top image)
The old RCA set is very expensive used at Amazon, good luck selling them now

That has the line-up. It's alright actually.
Ooh the EMI has Rienzi!

Just made a cool discovery......it will cost you money to read on
Amazon USA just recently started to carry these CD sets under Keilberth search......
These are from the 1952 Keilberth Ring at Bayreuth, and the live mono sound quality is very good, better than the 1953 Krauss Ring! Price is very cheap at Amazon sellers USA $6.99 each, another no brainer purchase, nice artwork using Rackman illustrations seals the deal
This does not spare you the duty to purchase the expensive 1955 stereo Keilberth Ring on Testament label, it is spectacular but this makes nice addition next to it on my shelf

i think the Solti box edges out the Decca. close though.
Itullian you need these.......you will be very pleased, booklet gives track info onlyJust made a cool discovery......it will cost you money to read on

Sound quality on 1952 Keilberth CD sets is better than you expect, list of singers is golden, this is a gift from the opera gods to mortal men!
One small catch.....no Walkure for this Ring release, but other three installments available for very very cheap price

thank you DA. i'll give them a go
Okay, I did it. I preordered the Solti. Ouch
congrats Llyranor. great set!!!
looks like DGG is putting out a Wagner box too.
BIG errors imho though in choice of versions.
DGG is using Solti's Lohengrin and Parsifal which are also included in the Solti box.
duuummmbbbbb.
DGG should have chosen Abaddo's Lohengrin and Karajan's Parsifal and Solti's 2nd Meistersinger.
They would then have an ALL DIGITAL Wagner box.
Good selling point, no?

MET Levine Ring used........
But I should not be too harsh, the CD Ring recording has many singer upgrades from the DVD version
DA... There's also a Keilberth Lohengrin from 1954 with a young Birgit Nilsson:
Same price.

those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.
