Continuing to ply my way through The Ring Cycle (Der Ring des Nibelungen)...

Continuing my quest to a listening of Der Ring des Nibelungen in its entirety, next up:

Siegfried
(Wagner, 1876)

This recording:

Bayreuth Festival Orchestra & Chorus

Direction: Horst Stein
Principals: Cox, Roberts, Zednick, McIntyre, Feldhoff

(Deutsche Grammaphon, 1974)

*In many respects the most "difficult" listen in The Cycle, as it is not so (musically) dramatic as the material in parts one & two, rather, it is a musical "sketch" that sets the stage for the very dramatic conclusion, i.e., part four.

The Richard Thompson Band - “Ducknapped!”

Why the very title gives me "goose" pimples.
