"The Devil" took me off to "The Devil went down to Georgia" and that me to Curved Air's "Vivaldi" and on to Sky's remake.

Recently came across a nifty filmed concert performance of orchestral selections from the last of Richard Wagner's four Ring Cycle operas, "Gotterdammerung" (sometimes translated as Twilight of the Gods) played by the Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia (Galicia (Symphony Orchestra?) led by Josep Pons. Good video work with proper section and player highlighting as needed. Quite decent sound too, to the limited extent I'm able to judge that these days. My one knock with this performance is that there's a section of music following Siegfried's Funeral Music where Brunhilde's important vocal line is left out, but no instruments substituted (as others have done in this situation) in its place. Those not overly familiar with Gotterdammerung possibly won't realize anything's missing, but it leaves me a bit frustrated. (I get over it.) (For those interested in hearing what that section sounds like with the vocal line in place, here's a video clip from a documentary on the making of Solti's groundbreaking Ring Cycle recording from the long ago dawn of the stereo era, sung by a lady many consider one of the best, if not THE best, Brunhilde of all time, Birgit Nilsson. Sound isn't the best here, this being a TV network's recording rather than taken from the master tapes. But it's plenty good enough.) Also heard, an audio-only rendition of Beethoven's seventh symphony by the Bavarian State Orchestra under Carlos Kleiber. The seventh was something of a signature work for Kleiber to conduct. I've long owned and liked his DG studio recording; first on LP, then CD. I like this live recording even better. Very fine work. I especially enjoy the woodwinds throughout.
