Taking Wagner in stride

Maestro Ethan Iverson sent this deeply delightful piece of work my way. Lambert recorded it in 1941. Other items that I played in the course of today's Wagner lecture:


Lohengrin Prelude; Kempe, Vienna Philharmonic (EMI)


— Stan Kenton, "The Ride of the Valkyries" (h/t Mark Stryker)


Tristan Prelude; Carlos Kleiber, Dresden Staatskapelle (DG)


— Isolde's "Frau Minne will, es werde Nacht"; Flagstad, Furtwängler, Philharmonia (EMI)


— Excerpts from Act II of Walküre; Milinkovič, Hotter, Keilberth, Bayreuth 1955 (Testament)


— Excerpts from Act III of Parsifal; Pape, Domingo, Thielemann, Wiener Staatsoper (DG)


Parsifal Act III Verwandlungsmusik; Muck, Bayreuth 1927 (Naxos)


Many thanks to all who came out to see the talk!
