Some excerpts in this thread to make this Friday a special one:
1) Prelude to Act 3 of "Die Meistersinger von Nürmberg. Incredible piece of music, in a wonderful fugatto style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DbtmIEuQCU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

2) Lohengrin prelude: Could a single idea be extended for a longer period of time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqk4bcnBqls">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

3) Das Rheingold, descent into Nibelheim: Incredible descriptive music, thought to grow into you a sense of despair and anxiety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ3q3LyjnmA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

4) Die Walkure, Leb Wohl: In my opinion, the best excerpt of this wonderful opera, and in this case, sang by the great George London ... Prepare to cry, my friends https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B24qmkKfK7w">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

5) Siegfried, act 2, "forest murmurs": Is there a better transcription of nature into music? You can even hear an advance of what Stravinsky did in Petrouchka and Le Sacre ... Almighty Richard, thanks for this amazing music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6egZr8-8k2k">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

6) Götterdämmerung, "Hagen& #39;s Watch": The whole opera is a masterpiece, but this scene is a jewell, showing us the real nature of Hagen and paving the way to Acts 2 and 3 ... Enjoy the superb performance of Matti Salminen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AU_IFRILA4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

7) Tristan und Isolde, "O sink hernieder": Almost every aspect of love is condensed in this excerpt, with an incredible harmonic and voice leading work. It& #39;s impossible to get tired of listening this 26 minute music diamond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IjJXVY4j7U">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

8) Parsifal, Verwandlungsmusik: There are so many incredible moments in this piece so maybe the best thing would be sharing the full Bühnenweihfestspiel. In any case, this is one of summits: "Du siehst, mein Sohn, zum Raum wird hier die Zeit". Enjoy it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysm44rqhLss">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
