It would be a terribly cruel if she allowed her piano to drown!

Love big bongos, LM.

Question:
Can any of you recommend “best quality” sounding digital or LP copy of Wagner’s Die Walküre ???

No help here. I love the overtures and some arias but I haven’t heard a whole Wagner opera in years. The orchestral Wagner I find amazing

It’s very intense on dynamic stereo system. I am not sure if I can sit true entirety of it? But while in the right mood, it can be satisfying experience. I would rather hunt it down on Vinyl but no clue which copy is of decent sound quality.

The CD box of Solti/Vienna does it for me. Smooth as silk, with sound effects on stage (studio recordings) that border on the fantastic. Decca engineering too. The LPs are decent, but have been superseded by the digital remasterings.

Thanks a lot.
Seems like I’ll have a little hunting to do on my lunch time.

This is the set I got. Much cheaper than the big deluxe set I cited above. SQ is fabulous.

The Karajan set is also excellent, and more chamber-like than grand. ymmv.
Both are desert island calibre.
cheers

That’s reasonable. I’ll also try to find copies of it on LP. Prices get kind of crazy but maybe I can score a gem. Thanks again.
