Mark Elder conducts the Halle in Acts 2 and 3 of Wagner's Die Walkure.

Ian Skelly presents Acts 2 and 3 of Wagner's Die Walkure, with Mark Elder conducting the Halle in a performance given as part of the 2011 Manchester International Festival.

The Halle and conductor Sir Mark Elder return to Wagner's Ring for the conclusion of the second instalment of the epic cycle: Die Walkure.
This concert performance, split over two days, was recorded at The Bridgewater Hall in July, part of the 2011 Manchester International Festival.
The cast includes Egils Silins as Wotan, his performance praised by Tim Ashley in The Guardian as "intelligent, beautiful sounding, and intensely tragic", and also stars experienced Wagner exponents Susan Bullock, Susan Bickley and Stig Andersen.
