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.  )
