Re: "Extraordinary in their sheer beauty."

My best friend surprised me with a visit Saturday. After enjoying dinner, we retired to the den and I began playing for him some of the music I was listening to, without first telling him what it was. When I put on the opening to "Rheingold," he sat back on the couch and listened with eyes closed. Four minutes into the opening, about a minute before the Rhine maidens begin singing, he looked at me and asked, "What is this music the start of?!" He was absolutely amazed at what he was listening to. Distance had shielded him from my enjoyment of Wagner, but now he has been exposed! And now, like a junior high school student given their first dime bag, he wants MORE!

Thanks to everyone for their comments on Lang's films. I understand that, while drawn from the same sources as Wagner's work, they are different in many ways. The conversations here about Lang have inspired me! I will order them this week!
