Testament don't seem to ever offer sales of over 20% discount. This one though I had decided a while ago I would get the next time it was offered on sale at PC
This should be the last Ring cycle I ever purchase.
That is until the next cycle I decide I really need to listen to.
I also got the older Christie/Glyndbourne Theodora. I was trying to choose between the two but this one was the one on sale so I opted for that one. I am interested also in the newer one though and may end up getting that as well.
Handel: Theodora, HWV 68
Recorded live at Glyndebourne Festival Opera in June 1996
Frode Olsen (Valens), David Daniels (Didymus), Richard Croft (Septimius), Dawn Upshaw (Theodora), Lorraine Hunt Lieberson (Irene), Michael Hart-Davis (Messenger)
