The difference between them can be summed up by the great Italian conductor Toscanini who was hearing a performance of Wagner’s ‘Tristan und Isolde’ and, during the lengthy love duet in Act 2, turned to his wife and said “See if they were Italian they would have seven kids by now but they’re German so they keep talking about it...”
Wagner is only inspirational when I’m cleaning the long guns.
Puccini & Verdi for this gal (have yet to hear anything as hauntingly beautiful as Ave Maria in Otello)
Ha Ha!
That’s Great! LOL!
Like ‘em both, but for different reasons.
