According to Karajan’s own account, it was during the summer of 1965, while he was working on Boris Godunov, that he had a vision of the future:  “I suddenly sensed a burning desire to stage and conduct Wagner in Salzburg.” His dream – very much in the spirit of Wagner himself: “My baton shall teach future ages which road they have to take.” Karajan’s Wagner was concerned with beauty, lyricism and structure,  and for his monumental Ring cycle he assembled a world-class cast of singers who possessed instrumental tone and were able to deliver a vivid and clear declamation of the text; and his Berliner Philharmoniker were more than capable of rising to the occasion,  conveying a rich, colourful, transparent, in many moments almost chamber music-like orchestral sound that is still unrivalled today.
