[OT] Wagner?

[Ioannis]

Can someone tell me exactly which work of Wagner is the music from in this
video?

I know it's Wagner. It sounds like Siegfried's funeral march(?), but from
which opera? I haven't been much of an avid Wagner fan :-(

I have all of Wagner's operas on LP, but I need to know EXACTLY which LP to
look for in my library. If someone knows of an online source I can download it
from in .mp3 form, I'd appreciate it.

Please use the timer below the video if it contains more than one pieces.

(As an OT, compare the immense destructive power of this bomb with the
rejuvenating works of JSB. Such a difference! Man is capable of such extreme
behaviors!)

Thanks!

This is Siegfried's Funeral Music from Act 3 of Gotterdammerung
(Twilight of the Gods), the last of Wagner's four Ring operas.

This music is beautiful to me, not ugly, but if it's too angry for you,
bypass it and listen to the letting-out-of-church scene, the first
scene after the overture, of The Meistersingers of Nuremburg. This is
Wagner's tribute to Bach and it's a great one. This entire gorgeous
opera is really an homage to Bach and the music of Germany's past.
