I only listen to Wagner when I have the house to myself, and the electricity is perfect!  The slightest sense of hesitation or choking from the system can ruin it for me.

Much of Wagner is very "self-important" music; yet - somehow - he pulls it off - -  if you meet him on his terms.  He wants to be and nearly is the Forces of History.

Almost the "opposite" is a Samuel Beckett play.  "Opposite" because "minimal" to Wagners "excess".  Yet similar because both are always tightly scripted and under complete control, and packing a big punch.
