Re: Rheingold

I have an embarrassing number of Rheingold's, including of course the Solti. I still turn to him for the frisson of excitement - and I love the sound effects even though one should not admit to this. I always remember some unkind critic who reported on some other recording that Donner's hammer sounded like a jeweller's pick, unlike the truly frightening weapon wielded by Solti's thunder god thanks to Culshaw's team!! I see you are south London, contact me off board, perhaps we should visit sometime for a Wagner session, I'm not far away in Pompey. No pressure though. Good listening!
