Boulez was the first conductor to get through the entire Ring Cycle in five minutes. Actually here as nearly everywhere else Boulez gets the orchestra to make the fast tempi work because their playing is so dead-on precise. This Wagner is lighter on its feet than we've ever heard it. Not necessarily a bad thing. And let's not forget the Chereau production is absolutely magnificent.
Please try the Furtwangler Ring cycle recorded at Rome (RAI, 1953) digitally remastered very well by Gebhardt. It's not without reason that Furtwangler has been considered by many the greatest conductor of Wagner's music by many.
I prefer the Furtwängler Scala cycle of 1950, although some singers are awful (Loge, f. i.), but what a pity that he couldn't complete the cycle begun in 1954 with "Die Walküre"

I think that "Uncle Wolfie" was quite impressed with Furtwängler .

Is he? Pretty sure others are considered in much higher regard, namely Knappertbusch, Solti or Tennstedt.
Totally agree!
But where is the Horn Call?
5 minutes? 12 hours of opera in 5 minutes?
Siggi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
I do not agree: you should try Furtwängler's Ring at least (La Scala, 1950, poor sound quality) if you think that Barenboim's Ring is the only one.
where is siegfried part three??? get some co-ordination in here. all acts' one after the other in proper order!
Siegfried invents jazz.

Like Solti but Boulez is magnificent
What is supposed to be jazzy in this passage?
Siegfrieds failed attempt to communicate can sound like that for some people
