Richard Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen - Sir Georg Solti with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Couldn't make this years Bayreuth Festival, which is a month of Wagner that is currently happening. So, I am starting a 4 night trip through the Ring Cycle.
That is 15hrs over 14cds. This is not for the faint of heart.   
Solti's Ring Cycle is the King of all the Ring Cycles.
First up, Das Rheingold.

Did it have anything to do with the fact that the waiting list is seven to eight years long?
I don't even want to think about prices.
When I'm dictator, I'll definitely have to start going.

No. Is the waiting list that long these days? We have been going to either the Salzburg or Bayreuth Festival over the last 8 years. What sucks is they are held at around the same time. So, you do a lot of mad dashing and skipping of performances for other performances. I have a lot of business in Europe so I generally set a schedule around the Festival's. I use the 4 tickets as business incentives if we can't make it for some reason. The benefits of being married to someone that practices the secret and dark art of Tax Law.

Another night in our four day Ring Cycle Festival.
Die Walküre
Working our way up to Act III when the fat lady (for the more cultured of you that would be Brünnhile ) begins the famous Ride.
For you non opera or Wagner fans it's the music from the helicopter scene in Apocalypse Now. And for the truly cultured ones it's also used in the Bugs Bunny cartoon What's Opera, Doc?, which in my superior prick opinion is the greatest Bugs cartoon. Possibly even the best thing that Warner Bros and or Chuck Jones produced. |

GOOD 4 U!
Mebby someday I'll be able to jot over to Austria for a little Wagner!
LARRY AUSTIN: A LARRY AUSTIN RESTROSPECTIVE 1967--1994 (Centaur)
A CD I can mention on the Electronic, Experimental, AND Classical threads!

In that case, I would suggest making it Germany and not Austria. Otherwise you won't be seeing much of the Bayreuth Festival.
Bayreuth is specifically in the German state of Bavaria (in the northern part), which borders Austria.
Now if it's Mozart and/or the Salzburg Festival you wanted, than it would be Austria.

No Wagner in Vienna? Now, Tel Aviv I wouldn't count on it, but they must lay some Wagner on you now and again in Wiener-town!

Oh you can find Wagner in Vienna. After all Solti's Ring Cycle is recorded with the VPO. I thought your post was in relation to the Bayreuth Festival.

Well, Wikipedia is wrong again (re: waiting list for the Bayreuth Festspielhaus)! They even list a reference: Spotts, Frederic, Bayreuth: A History of the Wagner Festival, New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1994.
Apparently, Die Walküre was also used for this commercial about salmonella poisoning.
salmonella!
salmonella!
salmonella!
Anyway, if you see Hans Sachs in Germany, tell 'im I said "hi." Big fan.

Thanks to Daniel Barenboim, you CAN count on it! (Jerusalem, 2001)
