Re: Wagner has his "longeurs", true...

But I'll gladly take his tediousness and pretensions for the beauty in his work.

My wife, on the other hand, prefers a lighter touch. While Rachmaninoff is her favorite, everytime I put on Offenbach or Bizet or another French composer, she comes into the den and wants to know what I am playing. This doesn't happen when I play Wagner!

BTW, Victor, your comments on Lang's work and its effect on you were really something. I agree, Lang has a gift for portraying horror. But not just the dehumanizing sort. I can't think of a scarier moment in films than the one in "M", where Peter Lorre is standing next to the little girl with the balloon in front of the store window. Much more frightening than anything in today's "horror" films.
