Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
One of the finest German medieval epic poems, The Lay of the Nibelungs is perhaps best known now as one of the principal sources for Wagner’s four-part music drama The Ring of the Nibelung. It is easy to see how Wagner was enthralled by the story and the poetry for the power of the tale drives the narrative: intense love, loyalty, jealousy, murder, duty, honour and massacre are all interwoven into a classic.

A remarkable reading of a powerful piece. David Rintoul executes a passionate performance with a skillful mix of gravitas, humor, and excitement. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the classic story.
