My personal top 10 list of the best moments of Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen.
We begin with some Hunding here, I love the held notes leading to the sforzando moments, there is a real sense of tension here between Hunding, Sieglinde and Siegmund, broken by the occasional beautiful motif from the wind section. Glorious!
The recording is Herbert Von Karajan's Ring, Die Walküre, recorded in 1966-70.

@TheTristan1954 Absolutely! I think they're stunning, and compliment the music very well.
