The moment (about a minute long) comes at 40:24. And I hate the way Linda Watson sings it, but anyway: THIS is the moment that makes or does not make a RING for me. Du diese liebe mir ins herzgehaucht -- If a Brunnhilde and a conductor pull that off then Im in tears and the whole silly saga means something -- The supreme exponent is Crespin in the Karajan Ring. Close runners-up: The prelude to Act II of Die Walküre. The Todesverkundigung duet. The conclusion of Act I. The descent to and return from Nibelheim in Das Rheingold (best moment of the Schenk staging). Donners invocation of the Winds to the Entrance into Valhalla. The QUIETness around Siegfried in Act II as he blows the horn and listens for a reaction -- and WE know what hell get -- but he doesnt -- dramatic tension!
