Wagner's 'Das Rheingold' with Reuter, Sáfár, Fodor, Sacher and Haja from Budapest

Wagner's 'Das Rheingold' is the first of the four music dramas that constitute Der Ring des Nibelungen. At the bottom of the Rhine, the three Rhine maidens, Woglinde, Wellgunde, and Flosshilde, are playing together. Alberich, a Nibelung dwarf, appears from a deep chasm and tries to woo them.
