The sun sets over Espergaerde, Denmark, as we leave Copenhagen on the first night of a cruise on the NCL 'Norwegian Star'. The soundtrack is Siegfried's Funeral March from Act 3 of Richard Wagner's 'Gotterdammerung'. Be sure to use a good sound system or headphones for this one. I will have lots more to say later about the first time I heard this music nearly 40 years ago at Carnegie Hall with Georg Solti and the Chicago Symphony sitting 4th row center orchestra, a night I will NEVER forget.
