Bayreuth - Siegfried

Author: ElizabethMH

Hello. I've just come back from the Bayreuth Wagner Festival. The orchestra was amazing, when you think that they had temperatures of 40C (104F) down in the pit (or ditch one translation of a review gave me). Everyone was so in tune - I don't know how they did it. I'm almost in disbelief that they could play like they did with those conditions.

The clarinet soloist was sweet. Where might I find the clarinet solos for Siegfried? I do have a book on difficult passages for solo clarinet. I don't think I've seen it in there but maybe it is. (Not that I have the ability to play the solos, but I like to look at them.)

TIA.
p.s. I won't talk about the production - other than that the singers, chorus and players were amazing. Read the reviews if you want - there was one the UK Guardian newspaper, but I haven't read that one.
