Reeder's restorations
They've always been good, but the stuff he's been putting out since around 2014 is simply not to be topped - not even by the stuff put out on budget labels by the mega-corporations who own the original masters (if they bothered to save them). Not only is Szell's Wagner a treat, but five stars to F. Reeder for outstanding work.

Great mastering
Thanks for this. I grew up with this record and it made me a Wagnerite at 13. But I've never heard it sound so clear and powerful, with a near-silent background. (Some elements of noise reduction processing are noticeable, but minor.) And what an orchestra!
