And I was just about to post and ask what word you all would use to describe Wagner. :)
I think his music is sweeping, grandiose, it swallows you whole and makes you a part of it, if that makes any sense. You can just get lost in the sounds.
Oh, and my music director called it awesome, because he said it was "awe-inspiring" and I have to agree. :)
