Disney's castle, Hitler's music

Most of my papers from college were written to either Wagner or Beethoven (and occasionally Prokofiev, but he never summoned my finest work). And Tannhauser is probably my favorite Wagner piece, it builds steady slow to a soaring theme. Here it accompanies some marvelous footage of the interiors and exteriors of Bavaria. Not sure why it exists but this is why God invented the internet.
