"Mime synges med overskud i det fedeste kostume: en arrig flue af en giftiggrøn lille rummand med hår på ryggen og spasmodisk-atletiske bevægelser. Virkelig et syn for nordiske guder! ... Måske er den farvestærke og flotte produktion ikke ligefrem det mest dybdeborende bud på en Ring, man kan mindes ... men den er fascinerende at kigge på ... Og igen er dirigent Haenchen mand for det stringente i gennemspilningen".

"Not only does Barenboim have complete control of the shape of Wagner's enormous acts, but there are enormous numbers of details, often witty and pertinent, and immense climaxes ...[Stensvold] almost steals the show with his lofty grandeur barely concealing anxiety and exhaustion ... Stemme is superb, flawless".

"Denne cyklus er en kæmpe manifestation, som utvivlsomt vil skrive historie ... Og usædvanligt for en "ny" 'Ring' blev dens fire dele ikke introduceret over fire sæsoner, men alle opført samlet i 2022 som en fejring af Barenboims 80 års fødselsdag. Tragisk nok var Barenboim ikke i stand til at dirigere den, han blev syg ... og erstattet af den eneste nulevende dirigent, som kan måle sig med ham i dette repertoire ... - nemlig dirigenten Christian Thielemann ... Siegfried: Thielemann er forrygende til at sætte tempo på de boblende samtaler mellem Wotan og Erde og Wotan og Siegfried i tredje akt, som indeholder noget af cyklussens mest betagende musik ... Andreas Schager rammer ind imellem sine toner for lavt, men eventuelle fejl overskygges af hans overbevisende indlevelse i rollen [som Siegfried] og hans store, velsyngende og generelt varme stemme. Efter 135 minutters lytten til udelukkende herrestemmer er Victoria Randems Skovfugl et frisk pust".

"Staged on a series of metallic platforms surrounding the orchestra ... The feeling grows, that this must have worked better live ... Haenchen, conducting the Rotterdam orchestra now, remains authetically brisk. But in what should be the Ring's most exuberant quadrant, the effect is curiously uninvolving".

"Stensvold (Wanderer) sings with perfectly centred tone, terrific staying power and command of broad legato phrases ... Surprisingly, though, it's Alberich here who possesses the more beautiful voice: baritone Johannes Martin Kranzle, combining effortless vocalism with chilling intensity of utterance - and he's also a born actor ... The video direction adopts a wonderfully cinematic approach".

"Barenboim provides a masterclass in Wagner interpretation that need fear no comparison with the greatest of his persecursors".

"Siegfried confirms the outstanding musical qualities of Juha Uusitalo's Wotan, and introduces a major new talent in the Canadian tenor Lance Ryan ... On purely musical grounds, then - with excellent orchestral playing and decent sound to match - this is an account whose vocal strengths tend to override its more questionable interpretative aspects".
