Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"

submitted by radx

1 decade 6 years 5 months ago

Ride of the Valkyries, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic, conductor was James Levine.

If the only time you've come across this was in Apocalypse Now, here's a chance to see an open air performance by one of the most distinguished orchestras of our time.

Adding video to channels (Bravo) - requested by jonny.

Is it just me, or is there some irony in the fact that a Jewish conductor is leading the Berlin Orchestra playing a piece by Wagner?

Great performance.

Patton Oswalt had better take notice of the conductor, because that's exactly what he's going to look like in 30 years.
