[78-L] ...and what about non-opera classical?

[Kristjan Saag]

And the musical equivalent to test cricket?
Would it be the full Niebelungen Ring, perhaps?
Or, taken into account the perceived boredom of a five day-long test 
match: John Cages "As SLow aS Possible", which is currently played on 
the Cage-Organ in Halberstadt in Germany and is scheduled to end in the 
year 2640?
You can listen to it here...

...or watch The Ashes between England and Australia, starting on 8th July.
