Siegfried - Tracks

Composed by Richard Wagner
Libretto by composer
Wotan’s prophecy of a hero who forges a mighty sword and slays the dragon Fafner comes to pass in this third installment of Wagner’s Ring cycle. When Siegfried confronts Wotan and revives the sleeping Brünnhilde, he unwittingly begins the ultimate destruction of the gods.
