Kirsten Flagstad joins the Philharmonia Orchestra, led by Wilhelm Furtwängler, in this pivotal scene from the last of Wagner's "Ring Cycle". This legacy recording is a powerful reference for fans of the famous operatic cycle.
The immolation scene represents a moment of intense drama, as Brünnhilde makes her entrance and issues orders for a huge funeral pyre to be assembled by the river. She takes the ring and tells the Rhinemaidens to claim it from her ashes, once fire has cleansed it of its curse. Lighting the pyre with a firebrand, she sends Wotan's ravens home with "anxiously longed-for tidings", and to fly by the magic fire for Loge to fulfill his task. After an apostrophe to the dead hero, Brünnhilde mounts her horse Grane and rides into the flames.
