 This is addressed to Wagner enthusiasts who have CD players:
  Has anyone heard the digital remastering of the Solti recording
  of Das Rheingold?  It appeared on CD a few months ago.
  London is planning to redo the entire Solti Ring on CD.
  How does the CD version compare to the original LP's?

 A general question about operas on CD:
  In the Dec 84 issue of Stereo Review, a letter writer stated that
  CD opera recordings are a disaster.  Besides some of the usual
  complaints about CD's, he claimed that words are essentially 
  unintelligible.  Can anyone confirm or deny this?
