Sounds great, @brewski ! Glad you enjoyed it. Tristan is not my favourite work by Wagner, but it certainly is filled with musical wonders, which shine when the performance is strong...

Hi John. Without a doubt, Parsifal and Die Meistersinger.

Parsifal is my favorite, too. I'm less keen on Die Meistersinger.

Die Meistersinger is my favorite. I'm less keen on Parsifal.

Goetterdaemmerung is a close second.

Today is the final livestream of the season from Detroit.

In about an hour, they will perform the Symphony in B Minor by LEOKADIYA KASHPEROVA. She was Stravinsky's piano teacher. I'd never heard of her before seeing the DSO season announcement.
