Re: Wagner's Ring without Words

Maazel had the audacity to program this with the NY Phil and I had to
sit through it during one of my subscription concerts.
What is so bizarre about it is what he chose to truncate from the
"Ring" and insert; absolutely no logic; at the Phil he didn't even
insert the forest murmurs. Recently, I started listing my collection
of "Bleeding Chunks of Wagner" - now I'm only one third through, mind
you, but the practice used to be more common to excise "Wagner Bits"
(then some recorded excerpts featured singers, some didn't - so a list
is maddening to produce; i.e. what is a bleeding chunk vs. an
"excerpt").

Again the choices are tough; the Siegfried Idyll is not really a
"bleeding chunk"; nor is the Leinsdorf/Svenholm disk so my "list" needs
extensive additions and revisions. Oh, and Wagner wrote some nice
words, too.
