The impact that this landmark release has had in the classical recording world is great and growing. One critic describes it as being "as ground-breaking as Georg Solti's 1959-66 recording". It's the largest single recording project ever to be undertaken in Australia, and the first of the Ring operas to be released in SACD surround sound. The 4 CDs of this set have already made Australian recording history, and the reviews from overseas are, for the most part, extraordinary in their praise.
