I'm out as soon as he says WILL-helm Kempff instead of VIL-helm Kempff. Get it right, bozo! Is Wagner pronounced with an American 'W' coupled a flat Chicago 'A' too?

Names should be pronounced however the owner of the name
prefers. There are no other rules.

Dick Wagner, the great rock guitar player from Detroit City, who played with Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, et al.? Heck yes, I am!

Although I don't think that I'd single out Wand's cycle for that kind of praise, it's hard to argue with any of Hurwitz's choices.
