Daniel Barenboim's Ring with the Staatskapelle Berlin - the first ever complete cycle at the 大象传媒 Proms - continues with the razored strings and yelping brass of a violent storm, the cloudburst of incestuous love, a bitter marital dispute and the first appearance of Wotan's rebel daughter, Brunnhilde, sung by a leading exponent of the role, Nina Stemme.
