Wagner - RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES - Furtwängler

The Ride of the Valkyries, by Richard Wagner, in a classic recording with Wilhelm Furtwängler and the Vienna Philharmonic. Illustrations are by Arthur Rackham. Probably the most famous and instantly identifiable of Wagner’s works is this short orchestral prelude from Die Walküre, the second opera in the monumental Der Ring des Nibelungen.
