What’s the purpose of this website?
Wagner Discography lists all available recordings of Richard Wagner’s operas, be it audio or video, commercial or private. Excluded are hightlights, extracts, potpourris, single acts, scenes etc.
Of all the recordings I own, have listened to and have formed an opinion about I give a rating on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, 1 the worst rating. Needless to say it’s not an objective rating, it’s my personal, subjective view. It expresses how much I enjoyed a recording. Here is how you have to read the ratings (so don’t be surprised that there are not too many maximum ratings).
Rating | Meaning |
(10/10) | One of the best recordings ever made |
(9/10) | World class recording |
(8/10) | Excellent |
(7/10) | Very good |
(6/10) | Good |
(5/10) | Average |
(4/10) | Below average |
(3/10) | Mediocre |
(2/10) | Bad |
(1/10) | Avoid |
(NR) | Not rated |
Users/visitors can give their own evaluation using a five-star rating system (user rating).
If you know of a recording I haven’t liested or a you have additional information or corrections concerning a recording, please let me know (use the contact form). I try to give for every recording all the relevant information as accurate as possible however mistakes are unavoidable and some information I simply could not find. Any help would be appreciated!
