Abstract The article argues that the proposal to produce a digital Ring cycle was not just ethically and economically misguided, but aesthetically misguided as well. Orchestras produces performances, and the proposed digital Ring would not have produced genuine performances of the Ring operas. Nevertheless, a digital musical work might allow us to reconstruct, and in that way recover and gain access to, a full-fledged musical work.

（数字）瓦格纳案

摘要 本文认为，生产数字环循环的提议不仅在道德和经济上被误导，而且在美学上也被误导。管弦乐队制作表演，而提议的数字环不会产生真正的环形歌剧表演。然而，数字音乐作品可能让我们重建，并以这种方式恢复和访问，一个成熟的音乐作品。
