Wagner Siegfried - Idyll

[MyMusic0201]

Incredible! Goosebumps....

[schwei56]

Yes, William Pierce misidentifies the composer @ 4:12, then corrects himself @ 4:59 : "The Wagner brings us to the midpoint . . ." So goes live radio.

[Gorboduc]

That's got to be the most elegant stick technique I've ever seen.

[MikeDrewYT]

Without doubt.

Your right swanningaround. John Williams steals from everybody! As does Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Everyone steals, but some are more guilty than others.......

Leinsdorf is one cool customer, but he has crafted just beautiful playing by the wonderful Boston Symphony.

Didn't anyone catch the mistake the announcer made at 4:12 saying this was by Richard Straus (instead of Richard Wagner)?

[swanningaround]

Was the Superman theme based on this piece of music. I think so.

Siegfried idyll is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my entire life.

[SurreyViolinHero]

I know, it is the best chamber peice I have ever played.

The broadcast host must be the incomparable William Pierce. I'd recognize those dulcet tones anywhere!

Little guy....but SO HUGE. The Legend, himself

The Legend? You gotta be kidding me.
