<div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;"><div>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.
