I know it is the Prelude to Act III of Die Walkure but what is played for concert purposes? Is there a recognized concert version? I see some recordings lasting 3 or 4 minutes.
I’m curious about the bass trumpet part.

It's in Die Walküre (beginning of Act III), not Götterdämmerung. For use as a stand-alone orchestral piece, you do need to extract it and arrange it a bit because it goes straight into Scene 1. There's probably a few versions in use, but standard one is the one extracted by Wouter Hutschenruyter.

Yes, of course. My mistake. Thanks for correcting.

FYI: The Wouter Hutschenruyter. arrangement seems to pretty much follow the original score up to just before rehearsal number 14. Hutschenruyter added a short but suitable ending at that point. Run time is about 5 minutes, depending on how many cups of espresso your conductor has had.
I played the bass trumpet part with a community orchestra a few years back. As I recall, the bass trumpet is with the horns most of the time.
