Wagner: Das Rheingold. Flagstad, London, Solti. London Recods 3 LPs

Description: This 3 record monaural recording is in very good condition. See photos. With the vigorous George London as Wotan, the magnificently glorious Kirsten Flagstad as Fricka, the brilliantly insidious Gustav Neidlinger as Alberich, the sweetly perfidious Set Svanholm as Loge, plus 10 other superlative singers, this cast was the gold standard for its time. And then as it is now, the orchestra is the world's pre-eminent opera pit orchestra, the Wiener Philharmoniker, and their suave strings, individualistic winds, heroic brass, and powerful percussion -- not forgetting to mention their astounding 16 tuned anvils -- turn in performances which has rarely been equaled and never been surpassed in recorded history.This 3 disc boxed set is a CUT OUT. See description below as well as photo.When LPs were the primary medium for the commercial distribution of sound recordings, manufacturers would cut the corner, punch a hole, or add a notch to the spine of the jacket of unsold records returned from retailers; these "cut-outs" might then be re-sold to record retailers or other sales outlets for sale at a discounted price.
