weltinnenwagnerraum: this is punk (angestrengte version), this is übermensch (slightly returning nietzsche-version), this is rich/art wagner: the last opera, the last will, the last vision of music to come, the lasting espreview of music to comm and to coum: parsifal. the next 20th century is augurualating within it seems/seams themselves: parsifal is a laser pointer to/into its own future: a vivid vision off noise too calm (pun intended, of course) and.
verwandlungsmusik / transformation music hallmarks the moment of changing the scenes: in the first act of parsifal the audience witnesses and experiences the change from the restricted glades of the woods to the even more restricted delimitation of the castle of the holy grail: a dialectical process to open the minds of the visionairs: the verwandlungsmusik / transformation music is (t)here to assist the audience to tranceform their old fnording points of view and to help them to commiserate the futures of 'music' and even more the 'futures' of themselves and their varying aspects of being part of a community that wants to listen and wants to be heard, though this points to utopia and richard wagner knew about it: the audience always was hell: the english, not the german version of that wonderfuel word.
here are some versions of verwandlungsmusik / transformation music recorded throughout the centuries plus two tracks that fit in very fine: listen unwound to let the volkswagnerinnenraum be your grosser and kleiner i'm nix verstehn: i wish i could sprekken sie deutsch: ohne wagner hätten sich stockhausen und family five gelangweilt: aber sowas von!

thanks, much appreciated, this is a great set. Perhaps Wagner's music is more my cup of tea than I ever thought it could be? Aging: at least it allows you to challenge your preconceptions … msj
