Masterpieces Performed by NHK Symphony Orchestra

Season 2 Episode 2: Paavo Järvi: Wagner, The Ring of the Nibelung

In this episode, we bring you some of the orchestra music from Der Ring des Nibelungen by Wilhelm Richard Wagner, which is often performed independently. The NHK Symphony Orchestra's chief conductor Paavo Jarvi took the baton. Paavo selected the music himself and performed it in a completely different order from the opera so the music could tell its story on its own. You will hear: The Valkyrie, Ride of the Valkyries, Siegfried, Forest Murmurs, Twilight of the Gods, Siegfried's Death and Funeral March, Dawn and Siegfried's Rhine Journey, The Rhine Gold and Entrance of the Gods in Valhalla. You will know what Paavo was trying to achieve with the performance.
