I can't win this staring contest with Richard Wagner

Wagner's music is pure passion, sometimes overwhelming passion.

Richard Wagner was born in Leipzig a city not far from Dresden where I come from. His music is the most powerful written of all the great composers that my country produced. Immense music that chills to the bone.

The first time I heard this piece of music was in the movie "Excalibur". I still can't listen to it without remembering the scene where the lady of the lake reaches out and grabs Excalibur. Goosebumps galore!

everytime i hear this i think back when i was a child and my grandfather took me to see Excalibur he was so worried i would not sit still. once i heard the movie and saw the opening fight scene, i never moved from my seat and i never made a sound. one of the best memories i have.
and i was hooked on classical music after this!

take care

Hard to imagine all of this music coming out of one man's imagination. He was truly amazing.

Bei diesem Stück von Richard Wagner bekomme ich jedes mal Gänsehaut... Die Dramaturgie in dem Stück ist unbeschreiblich ❤️

"my king I couldn't do it, Excalibur cannot be lost, other men..."
"do as I command, one day a king will come, and the sword will rise again"

"You will be the land, and the land will be you. If you fail, the land will perish; as you thrive, the land will blossom."

[imperialhonorguard]

"We dreamed of something marvelous."

I first came across this music in Boorman's movie Excalibur and the music and the movie are permanently on my favorites list. I love Wagner's careful and ominous stirrings.

Wagner ist perfect entire music, emotional, strong, sensitive, absolutely untouchable

[MichaelSawade]

Der Ring der Nibelungen wird niemals seine Faszination und Dramatik verlieren. Ein absolutes Meisterwerk.

This is so beautiful and haunting at the same time. It makes me feel like I should be in another place and another time. Listening to this I think of my childhood and being in the woods in the wintertime. Days gone by that will forever be missed.

Rise... King Arthur.I am your humble knight, and I swear allegiance to the courage in your veins. So strong it is, its source must be Uther Pendragon's. I doubt you no more!

Never have i ever eaten chips so dramatically in my life before

[GuidoMetallo]

This a style of music that if you can't appreciate you surely must be a lost soul. it's magnificent!

The advert in the middle should be a hanging offence
