Sir Simon Rattle conducts Wagner’s “Die Walküre” Die Walküre is undoubtedly the most popular part of Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen – perhaps because the mighty gods here struggle with very human feelings. In 2012, Simon Rattle presented the work at the Philharmonie – full of “expressive power” and “overwhelmingly beautiful”, in the words of the critics. Also taking part are Evelyn Herlitzius as Brünnhilde, Terje Stensvold as Wotan, Christian Elsner as Siegmund and Eva-Maria Westbroek as Sieglinde.
