What a fantastic opportunity, Jim. So cool that you're going to be able to see all four in the course of one week!
Outside of Bayreuth (and maybe music capitals like NYC, London & Berlin), complete Ring cycles must be VERY rare.

Now spinning:
Robert Schumann: Davidsbündlertänze; Kreisleriana / Géza Anda (DG)
I've never heard anyone play this repertoire better than Anda.

Now on my turntable:
Canciones Populares Españolas: Works by Manuel De Falla & Federico García Lorca
Teresa Berganza & Narciso Yepes (DG, 1977) -
Brahms: Complete Trios / Beaux Arts Trio, et al (Philips, 2 CDs)
Last night:
Piano Trio No. 2 in C, Op. 87Today:
Piano Trio No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 101 and Clarinet Trio in A Minor, Op. 114 (with George Pieterson, cl)Like they say, Brahms was always a symphonist, even when he was writing chamber music.
Sublime performances by the Beaux Arts Trio.

Three LPs that I ordered recently:
-
Now streaming Jolivet's Concerto pour Ondes Martenot et Orchestre -- with Yvonne Loriod -- from this set:
André Jolivet - Le enregistrement Erato (Warner Classics, 2004, 4 CDs)
Strange and wonderful music.
I have two Jolivet MHS LPs that were licensed from Erato and appear on this set. But as I listen, I'm wondering, "Is that enough?" For someone like me, that's the danger of streaming: Often, it makes me want to spring for having the whole enchilada.
I suppose I could join the 21st century. Be content with streaming, stop buying music & building a collection. . . . Nah. That's no fun!

Next up:
This CD compiles two Barretto LPs, both originally released on Riverside: Latino! (rec. 1962) and Pachanga with Barretto (rec. 1961). I love the flute-and-violin instrumentation of charanga bands -- plus "Chombo" on tenor!

Braves took 2 of 3 from the WS champs this weekend. I'll take it.
The injury bug has already badly bitten us. Losing Spencer Strider for the year really hurts.
But we're still finding ways to win.
