In bk's opera survey, he hasn't mentioned Wagner much.

Here is soprano Birgit Nilsson, singing from the Ring, under Solti's baton, with score.

That is very likely from The Golden Ring: The Making of Solti's Ring (https://amzn.to/3mGN56e), a fascinating look into the world of mid-20th-century classical music recording. It's probably well worth seeing even if you're not so much a fan of Wagner.

And if the Ring Cycle is of any interest, here's another that I don't remember much about off the top of my head:

The past hour has been hell, but I survived, and the cats are fed, which is the most important thing. I'm wondering if these gastrointestinal issues are a symptom of something going wrong with my biopsy rather than with Vaccine #2. Yes, it's been a really bnad hour.

I have a set of the Ring on disc and haven’t made the time to watch it. Soon. Maybe.

A lot.

I used to have somewhere - probably still do - The Ring Disc.

It's a single disc containing the Solti ring (in compressed audio), plus the entire libretti in German and English, plus the entire vocal score, plus a "museum" of costume and set design photographs.

I'm up, I'm up - ten hours of sleep.

Got up at one, and food just arrived and is sadly a disappointment. Just not up to how good the Cheesecake Factory's salads are and it sure looks like the half-Caesar rather than the one I ordered. Stanley's was much better. I'm realizing that sans croutons it's just not a real Caesar for me. They also included their amazing bread and you have no idea how hard it is not to eat it.

Listening to Lakme and enjoying it.

I found the Wagner documentary DR ChasSmith referenced above on YouTube. Here is the first of the 6 parts:

Salad finished. I'll have to go to Gelson's and get something protein-wise for later.

Which recording did you get?

elmore3003 · « **Reply #78 on:** April 11, 2021, 02:42:10 PM »

The Met's most famous Lakme was Lily Pons. When she was in Hollywood filming I Dream Too Much," Hedda Hopper interviewed her and inquired about her opera roles.

"You know Lakme?" she asked Hedda.

"Oh, I like you very much," Hedda replied.

Thanks. As the plane left the ground I had a big smile on my face, not that anyone could see it ;

No posts, I thought maybe I wasn't connected to the hotel wifi

Glad you traveled without incident, DR Jane.

I am supposed to fly at the end of July. Even vaccinated, it still makes me nervous.
