​I’ve been listening to the finale of Das Rheingold lately, and I’m curious about the mental imagery it evokes for others.

​Personally, it gives me this very specific sensation: It feels like being on a plane, taking off right into the glow of a rising sun. There’s that same mix of massive mechanical power, a sense of ascending, and being momentarily blinded by a golden, overwhelming light.

​How does this music translate for you? Does it stir a sense of triumph, or do you see something more abstract? When that brass hits, what kind of landscape or feeling flashes before your eyes?
