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.

I have three versions (on CD - from 14 to 18 CDs per set depending on
the conductor). I guess I have to decide whether I need another ...

What's wrong with CDs?

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

Easter is more Parsifal time for me.

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.

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

Hmmm, one tune and about 4,687 diminished chords. I'll go for
Meistersinger any day.

Well I've dipped in and out during the day, and I can confirm that
while he may have written some finely crafted tunes, his complete
operas are bloody awful.

A bit more festive! The last Meistersinger experience I had was a Met tv
broadcast with Karita Mattila and James Morris that held my interest
longer than the usual murky Parsifal.

Still, an Easter tradition for some.
