DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN

The first-ever stereo production of Wagner's Ring cycle, still considered the benchmark today. 'Here is the greatest achievement in gramophone history yet', wrote Gramophone in 1965. For many, it still is.

DEBUSSY 24 PRELUDES (Vivienne Westwood edition)
Jean-Yves Thibaudet's classic recording of Debussy's Preludes with Vivienne Westwood created artwork. One of Vivienne Westwood's last creations before she died in December 2022, the design includes a personal tribute from Jean-Yves to Vivienne Westwood, as she was a familiar face at Thibaudet's concerts. They first met in 2000 and became lifelong friends. Westwood designed all his concert clothing. Thibaudet's Debussy is a reference recording: 'Thibaudet is definitely at his best in the Preludes'.
