    ... I feel I, too, should add something to brighten your weekend. I am something of an opera buff, but they take a long time to get through, so we need something shorter. Now Wagner's Ring cycle is the longest of them all, running at about 20 hours, depending on the ferocity of the conductor and the girth of the soloists' chests, so here a is a synopsis taking just over 20 minutes, complete with appropriate musical extracts. Anna Russell Wagner Ring Cycle - YouTube[^] If this doesn't raise a smile or two, then please consider carefully whether you may actually be dead or not. :laugh:

        Tl;dl indeed! Twenty hours cut down to twenty minutes - you think that's long? I guess you're never going to Bayreuth, then. :laugh:

            This one is a 28 minutes masterpiece: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Concerto in A major, K.622 - YouTube[^]

              Masterpiece indeed. The adagio became very popular following its inclusion in the theme music for the film 'Out of Africa'. This also increased the performance of the whole concerto in the concert hall. However, it is music of a very different tenor (pun quite deliberate) to my suggestion. Anna Russell is to grand opera what Victor Borge is to the grand piano.

                I think you're taking my listening suggestion far too seriously, perhaps because you don't know Anna Russel. :laugh: If ever I feel I am taking grand opera too seriously, I bring myself back down to earth by listening to Anna Russell.
