Yes!  Cheesy

(disinterested documentary commentator voice:) "In the immolation scene, Brünnhilde is about to call for her horse Grane and urge it into the flames as a final gesture of sacrifice.  The recording team thought that at the end of this great epic, it might be a good gag to produce a real horse." <images of a horse mounting the stairs of the Sofiensaal> <Nilsson: "Grane! Mein Ross! Sei mir gegrüsst!"> <horse enters recording platform> <Solti: "So! Schön ja. Das war sehr raffiniert."> Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

This could only happen in the olden days, could it?  Smiley 


And George: 'Sviatoslav Richter and Rita' - what a pair! Thank you.  Smiley

Am I the only person who finds this to be rather especially surreal?

No.

(I find it quite amusing that it has a sort of 70s porn soundtrack.  Or should I say, what I imagine is like a 70s porn soundtrack.)

Happy cat

Thank you stuart macrae for your post. I did not see this opera Ariadne and Naxos. I did not know it was so beautiful.

Our cat used to sleep like that.  My dad always said she was 'sleeping with her star in the stars.'  Roll Eyes

I have a fondness of this popular fugato by Piazzola; there's an interesting arrangement of it for reed quintet on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tl7aUbQ83DE

which is I think the best version of it on youtube, though it's not a particularly imaginative version.  I don't particularly like the countersubject bit at about 33 seconds in.  I don't notice half as much in the recording of it by Piazzolla I have but it seems to piss me off in all the other versions I've listened to today.

(I looked it up because I was just listening to a rather disappointing performance of piano transcription of it (by Arthur Lima) and wanted to remember what it should sound like).
