Great lecture, I’d have listened to him talk for hours.

"It goes on for a while." Yeah, one of Wagner's Acts is about the length of a modern day film. And the music never stops.

Brilliant in every way!

Can the Society get ahold of a better piano?! Maybe it was the recording itself, but the piano sounded like a Dodge City saloon upright. But Prof. Swann is brilliant; I wish I knew as much as he does in his pinkie.

after nearly falling over at hearing his playing of the section from the Parsival Overture I was wondering what the audience in attendance was going to do in reaction. I mean, you have to say something.

Loved this lecture. I think the prelude to Lohengrin is the most beautiful piece of music ever. If it were possible to put a prayer to music, this is the epitome. Have to wonder if the knowledge of the lecturer adds to or detracts from an appreciation of Wagner when listening to his music. It is such an emotional experience for someone not well versed in music - simply transcendent for me.
