Subject: off-track
things have been a bit quiet lately, so i thought i'd make a listening
recommendation, albeit somewhat off-track. the new remastered solti wagner
ring , in the super deluxe edition, is really fabulous. ( " greatest recording
of all time ", bbc music magazine 2012 . ) truly a win-win. although a
little pricey , it'll probably soon be out of print anyway. and maybe this
isn't so off-subject. gould's wagner interpretations are not too far removed in
spirit from the great bayreuth festspielhause conductors such as knappertsbusch
and furtwangler from the '50's. he must have been familiar with their
recordings.
( and horowitz probably wouldn't have liked their wagner either, i bet. )
