  • Description

    Over the past 20 years composer and arranger Henk de Vlieger has made orchestral versions of the operas of Richard Wagner at the request of distinguished Dutch conductor Edo de Waart. This 3-CD set brings together his arrangements of the music from the four operas that make up the cycle known as "The Ring", "Tristan and Isolde", and "Parsifal". These recordings feature de Waart himself conducting the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.

    Between 1988 and 1991, Edo de Waart and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra gave a series of concert performances of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen . It was so successful that De Waart wanted to add symphonic selections from The Ring to the repertoire for a concert tour of Germany in February 1992. When it appeared that there was no arrangement available, Henk de Vlieger, composer and arranger - and percussionist with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra - decided to compile an entirely new orchestral suite, "Der Ring - an orchestral adventure". Two years later, again after a concert performance, he wrote "Parsifal - an orchestral quest". Its success prompted a plan to issue a 3-CD set, and for this project, de Vlieger completed "Tristan und Isolde - an orchestral passion".
