Evening Music

Does anyone know whether this program is actually the discussion taking place at the same time at the Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse at Lincoln Center with Viola, Pekka-Salonen, etc.?

Ricardo, in response to your query, no, this is a different discussion than the one to take place at the Kaplan Penthouse. We were able to talk with Bill Viola at some length a few weeks ago.

I have been enraptured this past week by the various components of the The Tristan Mysteries. This has been one of the most inspiring high cultural projects I have had the privilege to experience. It is said that familiarity breeds contempt. Tristan und Isolde is the exception to the rule. The more one listens and listens again, the more one is enveloped in a sense of the infinite possibilities of life and love, a glimpse through a window into the incommensurable mystery of Being granted to us on our voyage towards eternity. Thank you for your audacity in enabling this enchantment that confirms what can be but so rarely is. Possibly another creative genius will enter into history like Richard Wagner, but to date no one else has. Once again, thank you.

Speaking of Wagner, isn't it time for the "Horst Wesswl Lied?"
