@winrx No. That would be incredibly unfair to say.
-
@winrx Are you talking characteristically or skill? skill wise, they are just as good, but stylistically, the orchestra and opera demand different things.

Is it fair to say that these players are no where near to how the brass players sound in the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras.....?
-
To the uploader: Is this on a DVD that is available for purchase? If so, what is it called?

The instruments are Wagner tubas, trumpets, trombone, French horns..

The leitmotif, originated by Wagner, is still used today by modern music composers and film score composers. John Williams when making the Star Wars Trilogy score borrowed a lot from Wagner's Ring cycle leitmotifs.

I love that ordinary Tubas just weren't good enough for Wagner, he had to create his own version! What a legend, such wonderful music.
