Herbert von Karajan and the Berliner Philharmoniker's Wagner: Das Rheingold is set to be reissued as a 3LP release via Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series.

The deluxe limited and numbered box set, which features the original covers and lyrics, additional photos, and facsimiles of the original recording logs and tape boxes, will be released on April 3.

Karajan's historic performance as a conductor first came to him in a vision in the summer of 1965 while working on a Boris Godunov opera. "I suddenly sensed a burning desire to stage and conduct Wagner in Salzburg," he explained, before adding: "My baton shall teach future ages which road they have to take."

Regarding Das Rheingold, Karajan once explained: "When we did the ‘Ring,' people said it was 'chamber music,' but I would deny that. It was the full Wagner orchestra, with full sonority but played with real subtlety and the full range of dynamics."

Deutsche Grammophon's Original Source Series presents outstanding recordings from the 1970s in a whole new sound quality. For this, the renowned Emil Berliner Studios have remastered and edited the original multitrack tapes in 100% analog quality (AAA) using technologies developed specifically to produce the series. Released on 180-gram vinyl records with deluxe gatefold jackets with original covers and lyrics, the series is limited and numbered, accompanied by additional photos and facsimiles of the recording logs and tape boxes.
