At The Opera Ring 🛟 Cycle begins tonight. [View all]

Hear Sean's commentary, and hopefully Anna Russel's brilliant take-off on the cycle. He plays it every year.

Hear all four, or as Anna says, wait for #4 and the first three are re-capped there.

From Sean:

After a fantastic Tiki Lounge at 5pm tune in at 7pm to hear the first installment of Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle, Das Rheingold. This year we will have the 1959 Solti recording on DECCA.

Tiki Lounge at 5pm and At the Opera at 7pm.
Rebroadcasts of the Tiki Lounge on Sundays and Friday at 8am and 5pm and At the Opera replays at 10am and 7pm on Sundays and Fridays with a Saturday morning rebroadcast staring at 8am.

PACIFIC TIME

Not from Sean.

Of course, having grown up in the 60's, Rheingold is 🍺 beer 🍺 to me always, and

The Estudiantina waltz (or Band of Students Waltz) by Émile Waldteufel, is forever in my musical brain.

The Golden Girls remember it, too
