Disc 1 of 5
Twilight of the Gods (Drama in 1 Prelude and 3 Acts)
01 What light shines down there? (Prelude)
02 Wotan made holy laws and treaties
03 That mighty hall the giants have raised
04 Now the god will seize the spear that was shattered
05 Dawn music - To deeds of glory
06 Ah, but to prove you love me
07 Love, I leave you alone
08 So by your daring I am fired
09 O heavenly rulers!
10 Siegfried's Rhine Journey
11 Now hear, Hagen (1. Act, 1. Scene)
12 What woman should I wed
13 At Neidhöhle the Nibelung gold was guarded
14 You mock me, wicked Hagen!
15 Merrily seeking adventures and fame
16 Which is Gibich's son? (2. Szene)
17 I welcome you, my friend
18 That treasure I quite forgot
19 Welcome, O guest, to Gibich's house!
Disc 2 of 5
01 Flourishing life's refreshing blood
02 Now on our way!
03 I sit here and wait
04 Sounds I once knew so well (3. Scene)
05 You've come to me?
06 Fear and dread I read in your features!
07 Hear me with care, and I will tell you!
08 He sits there, speaks no word
09 These tales of evil fancies
10 Upon your hand, the ring
11 Go home to the sacred clan of the gods!
12 Borne on the wind
13 Brünnhild! Your husband comes
14 The night draws on
15 Now nothing can save me
16 With your brother I promised to serve
17 I fear not the flames
Disc 3 of 5
01 Prelude (2. Act, 1. Scene)
02 Sleep you, Hagen, my son?
03 The might of the gods
04 Help me!
05 That ring shall be Hangen's
06 Hoiho! Hagen! Fast asleep? (2. Scene)
07 Yet my Siegfried was with Brünnhild?
08 I can see a sail in the distance
09 Hoiho! Hoihohoho! (3. Scene)
10 Come to my call, and arm yourselves!
11 Glad times have come
12 Elcome, Gunther! (4. Scene)
13 I greet you, noble friend
14 A ring I saw upon your hand
15 Ha! - Siegfried stole it
16 Hear in Wallhall, mighty immortals!
17 Would you defile your name so lightly?
18 Shining steel! Holiest weapon!
19 Gunther, look to your wife there
20 Dark, unholy powers lie here around me! (5. Scene)
21 Have trust in me, offended wife!
22 Can no weapon's point then pierce him?
23 Deceived am I - and deceiver!
24 He betrayed you
Disc 4 of 5
01 Since this blow must be dealt her
02 Prelude (3. Act)
03 Fair sunlight, shine on us in splendour (1. Scene)
04 Fair sunlight, send to us the hero
05 A goblin led me stray
06 Siegfried, if we find your bear
07 Why shuold I let them laugh and jeer?
08 Siegfried!... Give heed to our word'
09 Come, sisters! Flee from this madman!
10 Hoiho! (2. Scene)
11 You drove the game away from us
12 Drink, Gunther, drink
13 Mime was a hideous dwarf
14 Now you must hear what happened next
15 Ring and Tanrhelm - both I had found
16 In grief I watched the branches above
Disc 5 of 5
01 Brünnhilde! Holiest bride!
02 Siegfried's Funeral March
03 Was that his horn?
04 Ah, if Siegfried were back!
05 Not the blame on me
06 Peace with your cries of useless lament!
07 Poor creature, peace!
08 Sturday branches, building his pyre
09 The sun in radiance shines from his eyes
10 O you, you guardians
11 My heritage I claim from the hero
12 Fly home, you ravens!
13 Grane, my horse!
14 Give back the ring
