Die Walkure Vocal Score [Alf:06-443248]

It started as a single idea, under the working title of Siegfried's Death, and ended as an epic four-opera cycle, "Der Ring des Nibelungen." Inspired by the great Nordic and Germanic sagas, Richard Wagner created a unique statement of the interplay between love and power---a struggle he movingly expressed through recurrent motifs of yearning and loss. Die Walkĵre, the second opera in the series, remains the most popular and frequently performed of the mighty Ring Cycle works.
