Siegfried - tuo kaikkein viattomin ja myyttisin sankari on kuollut. Älkäämme yrittäkö matkia hänen puhtauttaan, sillä maailmassa riittää rasisteja muutenkin. Richard Wagner lienee heistä nerokkain. Tämä on jumalaista musiikkia, tuhoutumisen musiikkia, jossa kuolema ja muisto yhdessä synnyttävät 'elävän' olennon. Aina uudestaan.

Götterdämmerung: Siegfried's Funeral March (Wagner).   London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Klaus Tennstedt.

Uploadaaja vastaa kommentaattorille, jonka mielestä: 

One the best! Too much camera time for the conductor. I understand his importance leading up to the performance, but on the night of the show the musician's "can take it from here boss".

....

Admittedly, there is something about watching a great conductor practicing his craft .. it's as if he's an electrical conduit or rather electrical 'conductor' through which the music seems to emanate .. as if the music is pulsating and resonating throughout his entire body.
