Bernd Alois Zimmermann: Photoptosis (1968) - Metzmacher 

Thanks for your comment. I really love Zimmermann's music, he was part of the Sixties avant-garde, but at the same time so difficult to categorize. If you want something more conventional, try his ballet Alagoana. Or if you want humor through hundreds of musical quotations, try his Musique pour les soupers de Roi Ubu.

@@alejov923 Thank you so much Alejandro, I will certainly check your recommendations out. I have only recently changed my mind from a previous comment left here 10 months ago. I am willing to now admit I was wrong, so leave the comment as testament!! Thanks again. Davis A

8:04 Wagner - Parsifal ( at the trumpet )

Beethoven 9! Und noch viel mehr ;-)

... followed by a Tchaikovsky moment! =)

You're right, Sugar plum fairy =)

For the record, that's a quote from Parsifal.

Richard Wagner - "Tristan und Isolde", Prelude; Wilhelm Furtwangler & Philharmonia Orchestra.
