Wagner Recordings by Outstanding Conductors

 

This year marks the commemoration of Richard Wagner's birth 200 years ago. After the flood of Wagner recordings after 1925, in the following decades of the 1930s and 1940s, another generation of Wagner conductors emerged. Arturo Toscanini, Bruno Walter and Wilhelm Furtwaengler made outstanding recordings in this period. We'll sample some of these discs.
