Hi,

You may be interested - BBC Radio 3 on Monday will be
broadcasting Wagner's Ring Cycle from 8:00 am until
midnight. Now I need to work out how to write audio DVDs.

What's wrong with CDs?

You have to change them every hour or so, which is inconvenient for
sixteen hours of program.

Exactly. In the first instance Wagner was inconsiderate enough to
compose Acts of over 80 minutes so a CD sometimes cannot even last until
the interval.

Then it would be even better to have a complete four-hour (or more) opera
on one medium so you didn't have to change it during the performance.

Easter is more Parsifal time for me.

Ah! Knappertsbusch's 1962 Bayreuth Festival recording ...
