Kober Alex & Duisburger Philharmo - Gotterdammerung

Facts Götterdämmerung is an album by Alex Kober & Duisburger Philharmoniker, released in 2021. The album is a classical 4-CD.

Brand new live recording of concert performances from May/June/November 2019. Axel Kober, musical Director of the Düsseldorf/Duisburg Oper am Rhein counts as one of the best and knowledgeable Wagner conductors i.e. Bayreuth, and Europe wide.

"The Rhine is where Richard Wagner's cycle of operas "Der Ring des Nibelungen" begins and ends - and it was beside the Rhine in 1851 that the composer first dreamed of this equally visionary and monumental work. Even if Wagner's plans for a festival would ultimately be realised in an entirely different part of Germany, the performance of a "Ring on the Rhine" will always remain something very special.

And where better to make this happen than at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein? Two cities, two orchestras, two casts of singers - with the Rhine opera's fantastic ensemble of singers and its two outstanding orchestras, the Duisburger Philharmoniker and the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker, at their two venues in Duisburg und Düsseldorf, the essential conditions were in place.
