In Wednesday\u2019s (6\/10) Associated Press<\/a>, Ronald Blum writes, \u201cFabio Luisi wanted his Ring Cycle to be heard and not seen. Wagner\u2019s four-opera epic \u2018Der Ring des Nibelungen,\u2019 approaching the 150th anniversary of its premiere in 1876, has been reinterpreted and deconstructed by directors finding various meanings in the conflicts among gods, humans, giants and dwarfs. While most new recordings are on video, Luisi led his Dallas Symphony Orchestra in concert performances that were released on 13 compact discs by Delos on May 22 and are available on streaming services. \u2018Wagner conceived this as a total immersion in visual and acoustic, but I could focus really only on the music \u2026 I think the music tells everything,\u2019 he said. Luisi became DSO music director in 2020 and broached the idea \u2026 two years later with Morton H. Meyerson, a longtime board member\u2026. After securing a waiver from the orchestra allowing for the needed rehearsals and performance length, recordings were made during four concerts from May 1-5 and six more from Oct. 5-20\u2026. Luisi first conducted the Ring when he was music director of Dresden\u2019s Semperoper from 2007-10. Luisi \u2026 tries to keep an arc from the first notes of \u2018Das Rheingold\u2019 to the final strains of \u2018G\u00f6tterd\u00e4mmerung.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Music Director Fabio Luisi leads the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, vocalists, and chorus in Wagner\u2019s \u201cG\u00f6tterd\u00e4mmerung.\u201d Photo by Sylvia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[33338,32067,102,104,103,119377,13473,33339],"class_list":["post-333980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-composers","tag-conductors","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-digital-and-streaming","tag-musicians","tag-repertoire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
