God! That's where I recognize this from. That movie about Vietnam. What was it called?   Nezzadar ☎   15:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, it's Apocalypse Now. My favorite film of all time. Staxringold _talk^contribs 06:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Support although the seemingly "whistle sound" at 6 sec is tiny a bit distracting, this is a 100 old sound of Wagner's famous work.--Caspian blue 04:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Support but note that Ride of the Valkyries currently has the sound 2 times listed. Staxringold _talk^contribs 06:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Either we need a good performance or a historic one by a famous orchestra. This is neither. There should be some good material available for such a famous piece. Has anyone looked? Berlin Phil? Furtwängler? --Kleinzach 01:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Do you imagine that there is the slightest likelihood that the Berlin Philharmonic or DGG would grant public domain for a recent recording? Get serious. Edison (talk) 04:22, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
