Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg - 1943 (Furtwängler, Bayreuth)


A magnificent recording -- now YouTube is allowing long videos there are some wonderful older pieces going up. Four hours and two minutes and worth listening to every second:

"Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere else. You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America,"


Rep. Allen West (R-FL) said at the Palm Beach County Republican Party Lincoln Day dinner. West represents the district in the U.S. Congress.


HEY MORTON!!!! HEY MARXIST!!!!!

Watch this video, then give your head a shake.

Max Lorenz and Maria Muller were wonderful singers. They still sound fresh in these recordings. Thank you for posting this; will definitely give it a listen. You can find bits and pieces of his wonderful Siegfried at Bayreuth.
