Rather than just the whole Wagner catalogue I'm interested in your opinions of recordings of this act as an entity of its own. One of the many peculiarities of the Ring is that this is many fans' favourite act of the Ring, yet contains only 3 relatively minor characters.
Help me make sense of the many recordings. What are the best singing performances and conducting and why?
I'm currently working through the versions I have, and would like to know what to listen out for.
