This was a video laser disc of the whole Ring... I wish to find it again in DVD, Behrens is spendid and Varady is Sieglinde...

Loved this production for Salminen, he's maybe even better and creepier than in the Met, but the lack of flames at the end is just WTF.

This Ring (only Gotterdammerung on VHS) is available at Amazon USA used. Too bad.

If this Ring production was available on DVD, I would buy it. I don't consider this a strictly traditional version like the one from the Met by Levine. The Sawallisch production has minimal scenery which leads to lots of symbolism allowing the viewer to come up with their own interpretation.

What I hate are modern versions which have prostitutes, pimps and drunk girls at parties. Sawallisch got it right imo.

@2007jabez amazon UK and Amazon DE will have them, prices sometimes high, sometimes low, at the perfect time they could be bargains. But most often not!

I love this version all 4 operas, There are English subtitles on the VHS version, not possible to turn subtitles off, English titles always on.

@apexwiddy Thanks for this tip. But it is not possible or to expensive to ship to Germany. I cannot understand the problems they have. So, I wait for better times!!! :-)

I just bought 3 weeks ago all four operas on VHS tape on Amazon.com. Prices vary all the time. Sawallisch version exact same as this. Same as the one on laserdisc. It was $20 for each of the 4 operas, except Siegfried was more.

No DVD Sawallisch ever made. It was in VHS tapes (available used Amazon all four). Also was made on quality digital laserdiscs (Ebay priced too high) so try 'Da Dons Rare Laserdiscs' website the 4 for $29 each. Laser players available in good used working condition Ebay all the time $100. Personally I chose VHS tape versions (english subtitles) Amazon & copied to DVD. Swallishch and Met/Levine are the only 2 videos with non weird traditional scenery. Swallisch is sparse, Levine is lavish.
