Erich Leinsdorf was one of the twentieth century's great Wagner interpreters, and this 2002 recording captures the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg in stunning form. The program pairs dramatic excerpts from Wagner's Ring cycle—including the Rhine-maidens' music, Brünnhilde's awakening, and the Ride of the Valkyries—with Schoenberg's audacious Chamber Symphony No. 1, a work that bridges Romantic lushness and modernist innovation. Leinsdorf brings his characteristically focused direction to Wagner's soaring orchestrations, while the Chamber Symphony reveals Schoenberg's gift for lyrical density despite its atonal language. A compelling portrait of two towering twentieth-century visions, recorded with excellent clarity on two CDs.
