Curved Air presents:
We begin with a miraculous hour-long suite of instrumental extracts from Richard Wagner’s epic cycle Der Ring Des Nibelungen, followed by excerpts from the operas Lohengrin, Tristan und Isolde, and Parsifal. Here are some highlights of the entire 19th century, and the so-called “New German School”. Some things are “classic” for a reason. Here you go…
