The Saturday night performance will broadcast on Classical KUSC on January 28, 2018.
Music director Carl St. Clair conducted with bass-baritone Greer Grimsley.
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67
Richard Wagner: Wotan's Farewell and Magic Fire Music from Die Walküre
Beethoven's fifth is the ringtone on my phone for calls from work. It was either this or J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue. :)
Our Wotan, Greer Grimsley, was as tall as Carl on the podium! That's how you want your gods to be. :)
You can sample Greer's Wotan on Amazon.
