In this 1987 studio recording, James Levine conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. James Morris performs as Wotan.
Magic Fire Music is taken from an opera called Die Walkure (The Valkyr). Die Walkure is part of an opera tetralogy called Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung), also called The Ring Cycle.
This specific recording of Magic Fire Music is part of a 14-CD box set that is available at either Arkivmusic:

Or at Amazon:

I would recommend purchasing the box set, with Marek Janowski conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden. But unfortunately, that one is no longer in stock.
