ARIADNE 5043-2

SOMM Recordings is immensely proud to present newly restored releases of Siegfried Wagner (1869–1930) conducting the music of his father, Richard Wagner (1813–1883). These recordings of the younger Wagner leading the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra, the Berlin State Opera Orchestra, and the London Symphony Orchestra were made soon after the introduction of the electrical recording process in April 1925. The painstaking audio restoration of these recordings by long-time SOMM collaborator, Lani Spahr, has been so expertly and stunningly achieved that it is difficult to believe they come from a century ago.
