Title: Twilight of the Gods,by composer Richard Wagner
Review: Thefirstselection,RideoftheValkyries,erie,haunting,brooding,blisteringopening is astoundingly dramatic.(A part of the sound track for the Vietnam war era movie Apocalipse Now) Wagners blazing,rising tempo of the music matched with lumbering cacaphony of 150 whirling Huey helicoptor rotor blades droning in unison make a powerfull statement of what is to come for the units of the Army's air mobile cav.Like a 100 calvary soldiers blowing a bugle call to sound a charge to do battle.Only this one time that call to arms was going to be led by many units of the 82nd and 101st Air Mobile Calvary of the US Army in 1969 somewhere on a map grid in the jungles,hills and valleys of Vietnam. Thus,a beautiful marriage of sight and sound.Listening to the rest of classic Richard Wagner music cd is well earned desert.
