On the back of his post I have shamelessly frivolous request. If you get the chance with the &quot;Dambuster&quot; people , can you suggest using the Rienzi overture for flight , particularly take-off sequence. Everytime it suggests to me a plane at first earthbound, then gradually accelerating to lift off, followed by soaring flight. The trumpet is apparently the war call of the Colonna family. Maybe &quot;Wagner soundtrack&quot; is tiresome after Apocalypse Now, but anything to get people hooked,<br /> cheers<br /> Adam </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/stephen-frys-fascination-with-wagner-possible-clue-found-at-wwwwagnerheimcom#post-270959 Sat, 04 Jun 2011 08:18:27 +0000 Paul Heise 270959@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Dear Stephen:</p> <p>Thanks to your documentary &quot;Wagner and Me,&quot; I now recognize you as a fellow-traveller in Wagnerheim. </p> <p>You will be interested to learn that the product of my 40 years&#39; quest to grasp the conceptual and dramatic unity of Wagner&#39;s &quot;Ring&quot; and his other canonical operas and music dramas, &quot;The Wound That Will Never Heal,&quot; is introduced by Dr. Roger Scruton at <a href="http://www.wagnerheim.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wagnerheim.com</a>. This is by far the most comprehensive effort yet undertaken to grasp the mystery of Wagner&#39;s &quot;Ring&quot; within one universal frame of reference. My life&#39;s work, thanks to Dr. Scruton, has been posted there as a free resource for all those interested in Wagner&#39;s sublime art.</p> <p>Dr. Scruton also introduces Paul Heise&#39;s new website in an article entitled &quot;The Ring of Truth,&quot; which appears in the May issue of The American Spectator, and which can now be read free online. All of Dr. Scruton&#39;s past articles published by The American Spectator are archived there under &quot;The Pursuit of Knowledge.&quot;</p> <p>Stephen, I recognize you get tens of thousands of posts here, but I would very much like, should your available time and inclination allow, for you to visit <a href="http://www.wagnerheim.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.wagnerheim.com</a> at some point, to join its discussion forum to address any questions or controversies re Wagner you may have, and to hear your perspective on its presentation and arguments.</p> <p>Therefore I remain,</p> <p>Your friend from Wagnerheim,</p> <p>Paul Heise </p>
