Wagner ... Pointless and Dull?
played this morning on Breakfast and did me head in .... bits of this and bits of that ... jumpy shouty and trickster quick .... but just incoherent ... and boring it all sounded false just an ephemeral show off and if i was in a real Viennese mood of disapproval i'd have said a piece of phallic-narcissistic totemism ... and then i heard it was Wagner ... my word what have i come to!
"Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”

Chill out, Calum, it was early Wagner. We've all done things we regret in retrospect.
But I totally agree it is rubbish and did not warrant an airing. But rubbish is the order of the day on "Breakfast."

I think it is a fresh piece.
Wagner wasn't even 22 as he finished it in 1835.

The perfect piece for Jarvi and the RSNO.

You really are the master of the obscure/irrelevant link, AKA.
And what does BAFF
signify? I've been wondering.
Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong.

Although I never had you down as a military type. Were you in the RAF? Perhaps we served together!!
