I've been listening to a lot of Wagner lately. Go full screen (the graphics are very cool) and turn the sound waaaay up. If you're suffering from insomnia, this vid WILL NOT help!

Great piece. The only Wagner that I've conducted was Sigfried Idyll, which is an absolutely gorgeous piece. | |||

Wagner seems to have had a love of the bass. I learned to play the bass in high school and loved it...still do. It just gives such a rich tone to these pieces. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Awesome! A favorite of mine ever since my high school symphonic band played it when I was a freshman. | |||

Imagine being Wagner's wife on Christmas Day 1870. (Her birthday was really Dec 24 but she always celebrated it on Dec 25.) There was a little trumpet action downstairs to wake her up and then the group assembled down there played this: (Composed by her hubby to be her birthday present.)

Not a Wagner fan generally, but the Idyll really is lovely. Cosima paid him back with a lifetime of putting Richard on a pedestal after his death. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||
