Is this recording you mention commercially available? With this
group of players, you must understand that I'm more than a little bit
excited to get my hands (ears) on it. It must have been an incredible
performing experience! You've won, Mr. Leeson, envious curses from my
direction.

"In the past one went to the opera for the diversion
offered by facile musical works. Later on one returned
to it in order to yawn at dramas in which music, arbitrarily
paralyzed by constraints foreign to its own laws, could not
help tiring out the most attentive audience in spite of the
great talent displayed by Wagner." - Igor Stravinsky
