    I just dropped the pic in the box - highlighted it - pressed the link button - and put the address in.
    It's too new to be in Discogs and nearly all of the online links went to either sellers or streamers,
    so I just linked it to the Huelgas site.

    Lovely new recording BTW.

    I'll try that sometimes, thanks!

  3. Well, this is concert, not staged. But still...yeah, seems like a real (and rare) opportunity!

    Fabio Luisi came to the DSO with a solid reputation as an operatic conductor, so maybe this is some kind of networked synergetic machinationalism. No matter, I ain't complaining!

    Really looking forward to seeing what Ring Saturation is going to be. They did a concert version of Die Walküre a few years ago and just that one fucked up my head, very much. The "super-captions", being able to follow the story in real time instead of just "understanding" it...that thing got dark in a hurry and never lit up. No light at the end of THAT tunnel...

    So yeah, I am excited (and thankful/grateful) for this opportunity!

  4. We hardly travel these days and my wife doesn't do opera (at all...), so this is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Carpe dieming!

    I have a DVD set of the whole thing, but getting uninterrupted viewing time in this house is difficult, even for ballgames.

    Apparently the DSO is the only orchestra in North America doing this right now and inquiries are coming in from all over America. 

    First the eclipse, now the Ring. What's next?
