This is the 6th instalment of PentaTone’s successful Wagner Edition. It is the first time in the recording history that a label has recorded all major Wagner opera’s with the same orchestra, choir and conductor. This makes the PentaTone Wagner Edition a great collector’s item.

All the operas are recorded live in the Philharmonie in Berlin. The first five recordings were awarded with “Editor’s Choice” (Gramophone), Recording of the Month and Opera Choice of the Month (BBC Music Magazine), and CD of the week (Sunday Times).

Based on the reviews of the concert we expect high scores for the Tannhäuser recording as well!
