In 1876, Richard Wagner launched his Bayreuth Festival with the first complete performance of his four-opera "Ring" cycle. For this week's episode of the ASCAP Deems Taylor/Virgil Thomson Award winning program Between the Keys, The Classical Network's Artist-in-Residence Jed Distler features a wide range of piano transcriptions from the Ring operas, plus a few surprises.
Tune in to Between the Keys this Friday afternoon at 3:00 PM, with the rebroadcast Saturday evening at 6:00 PM, exclusively on The Classical Network and WWFM.org
