Wagner subject is very interesting. I never was inBayreuth. Amy kind nagging me that we need to go to inBayreuth but if we got o that part of the world then there is so much wonderful places in there that I would love to visit… we would need to take a month of at least.

Listening a lot of Wagner lately I am trying to come up with my sense how I would like it to sound and it is kind of al over the map. The original Wagner sound implies indirect ambient but large sound, force of orchestra and the singer that can deal with that force. It has to be almost the sound from a honked horn but I do admit that I like also a highly direct sound that MET did in 80-90.

Still, for whatever reason I love it to be played very loud.  That stupid pretence dramatic articulation that Wagner stuffed his music does work very well with large scale playback efforts and large volume.  I would like singers to scream and it does come with volume for whatever reason.
I wonder - since the site has a lot of German visitor – what Germans would consider outside the in Bayreuth to be the right location to play Wagner?
