A two-piano version of *The Ring of the Nibelung* by Mahlers close friend, Hermann Bohn!A gem of a Wagner transcription by Hermann Bohn, the musician who broke new ground with his arrangements for two pianos!Hermann Behn (18591927), a close friend of Mahlers, was a German musician who studied composition under Bruckner and Rheinberger. By around 1883, he had largely ceased writing original compositions and went on to break new ground by arranging works by other composersparticularly symphonic worksfor two pianos. Behns *50 Symphonic Movements from the Music Dramas of Richard Wagner*, begun in 1914, was one of the largest transcription projects in history. In addition to this work, the Musicaphon label has released a two-piano version of Wagners opera *Tristan und Isolde* (excerpts, M56986), as well as a two-piano version of Symphony No. 2, Resurrection, which was praised by Mahl
