In 2010, Pentatone decided to embark on the ambitious project of recording the ten major Wagner operas with the same musical forces. Never before had a record company recorded all of Wagners operas with the same orchestra, choir and conductor, even the same producer, withing a period of two and a half years. On top of that, all of the operas, including the Ring Cycle, were recorded for the first time in multi-channel sound and as is customary for Pentatone with the highest technical quality. Each opera was perfomed only once. All of the performances were recorded live, as well as all prior rehearsals of the choir and orchestra. Conductor Marek Janowski explicitly wished to avoid any publicity, since this is the best way to allow the music to stay true to its nature. This made it possible to accomplish such a superior recording.
