One of the best “Master Classes” On The Ring I have ever heard. I have followed The Ring for more than 40 years, and just tonight invited a friend who knew nothing about Wagner for a cocktail to hear this presentation. Magnificent. Thank you for a wonderful program. I think I may have created a new Wagner fan!

Please let this be a singular installment of a more elongated series. Someone loves and knows of Wagner as much as I? Paradise. More. More. More.

I love many forms of music; rock, folk, country, classical. The overtures & preludes of the Ring touch me like no other music, so much, that I feel it was written for me, and it belongs to me & me alone. If I were to be stranded on a desert island, the Ring Without Words would be all I needed.

Das hat mir die Augen bzw. die Ohren geöffnet für Wagners geniale Musik. Amazing, wonderful, epic… Thank you, Brett, and the fabulous Colorado Symphony.
