MUSICWEB RECORDINGS OF THE YEAR (2005) (for Die Walkure)
"In many ways this is now the best bet for anyone wanting a DVD version of Die Walkure."
(International Record Review on Die Walkure)
"If a cycle is going as well as the Harry Kupfer/Daniel Barenboim Ring was, the super-test of Götterdämmerung brings out the best in everyone… Barenboim manipulates his orchestra with Furtwänglerian virtuosity, huge rits, pauses and all, tailor-made to the stage drama. This is the strongest of Hohlfeld's four Ring filmings. It captures the Fritz Lang-like atmosphere of terror that Kupfer gets from this work, and is at the right angles for the moving depiction of Siegfried's death and funeral march…" Gramophone 2007
