I love the Solti Ring ! His conducting brings the music so vividly to life . There is a great deal of savagery in. the Ring. itself , and Solti. realizes this .
Today concert seasons are much longer than in the past . The top orchestras generally play about 150. concerts a year , so it's impossible for any. music director to. conduct every concert with his or her orchestra per year . And the most renowned conductors of the past did a lot more traveling around guest conducting than most people realize .
There are many outstanding. Wagner conductors today - Thielemannn , Janowski , Philippe Jordan , Barenboim, the late James Levine , to name only a few . And orchestras do not sound alike today . It's impossible for them, to sound alike , because orchestras consist of different musicians playing different makes of instruments in. concert halls with. different acoustics .
Regarding noise and audience behavior at classical concerts , it's similar to. going to the movies . You don't want the people around you. making a lot of noise and. constantly getting up to get snacks etc or. talking. loudly so you can't. concentrate on the movie .

Blaming Wagner for. Hitler, the Nazis and. WW2. is like blaming Jesus for the Spanish Inquisition .
