Siegfried appears suddenly.

1 He kisses her gently on the eyelids.
2 After her initial shock.
3 Heard in isolation, Sieglinde's music.
4 But we are getting ahead.
5 Needless to say, Brünnhilde, on her return.
6 in his earliest drafts for Siegfried's Death.
7 Before the curtain rises.
8 in June 1857 Wagner abandoned.
9 Mime then imagines himself.
10 In myths and folk legends.
11 Mime then tells Siegfried about Fafner.
12 If the music of Act I of The Valkyrie.
13 Mime is now faced with a dilemma.
14 Despite Mime's efforts.
15 It's not easy to convey.
16 Acts I and II of Siegfried.
17 On this second day of the Ring.
18 Loge enjoys one special advantage.
19 But all is not sweetness.
20 A gently undulating theme appears.
21 As a young radical, he argued.
22 Determined to obtain the ring.
23 For the first time, in the moonlight.
24 Hunding retires for the evening.
25 In the first Act of The Valkyrie, a solitary cello.
26 In the Ring's preliminary evening.
27 As with the Ring, the subjects of Greek tragedy.
28 in a great symphonic climax.
29 Hagen hails him from the shore.
30 Hagen seems to be remarkably.
31 Gunther lacks self-confidence.
32 Gutrune's music is heart-rending.
33 One of the marvels.
34 Götterdämmerung ('Twilight of the Gods').
35 From this point until the end of the act.
36 Erda descends again.
37 Hagen cuts the horn in two.
38 In 1871, when Wagner was working.
39 Night has fallen.
40 He had loosened her helm.
41 Before the curtain rises on the final act.
42 Act II has taken the drama.
43 It's difficult to imagine.
44 Baffled by these developments.
45 Brünnhilde concludes bitterly.
46 Siegfried appears suddenly.
47 Brünnhilde can't believe.
48 Sieglinde has left the scene.
49 The Ride of the Valkyries that opens Act III.
50 Sieglinde, in her delirium.
51 Wagner the magician begins casting his spells.
52 The baying of Hunding's dogs is heard.
53 Ungrateful adolescents.
54 When the curtain rises.
55 Siegfried reappears from the cave.
56 Wagner handles the scene.
57 Siegfried muses on what his father.
58 The curtain rises on Alberich.
59 Throughout this marvellous work.
60 The orchestral richness of Siegfried.
61 We are a long way.
62 There is a striking contrast between.
63 The first Act of The Valkyrie is unsurpassed.
64 When Loge first appears.
65 Wotan, like many leaders.
66 Woglinde's melody is a lullaby.
67 The second reason.
68 What happens next is a black comedy.
69 The hut in which Siegmund has sought refuge.
70 Under this spell.
71 With the return of Freia.
72 Then, in one of the most vitriolic passages.
73 The myths and legends of the north.
74 The refrain recurs each time.
75 Wagner's orchestration is nowhere more varied.
76 Wagner puts many chilling passages.
77 Siegfried greets Gunther.
78 Then there is Hagen.
79 Towards the end of Siegfried's Rhine journey.
80 Siegfried disappears from view.
81 To modern sensibilities.
82 The music that Wagner introduces.
83 When Siegfried reaches the summit.
84 The potion does its obliterating work.
85 Then Brünnhilde steps forward.
86 When they have gone.
87 Siegfried has been hunting.
88 When the excitement has died down.
89 There is something Shakespearian.
90 While Brünnhilde, on her mountain t, Op. ..
