Wagner - Die Walküre: "The Ride of the Valkyries" (Boulez)


start of Act III, as the Valkyries gather the soldiers' bodies, and clip ends a bit after Brünnhilde's entrance. Wagner used the Valkyries of the Norse Sagas, rather than the depiction of them in the Nibelungenlied. Women of death and warfare, as Chéreau understood well. from Darraðarljóð (Njál's saga Chap. 156.): Vindum, vindum vef darraðar, þars er vé vaða vígra manna! Látum eigi líf hans farask; eigu valkyrjur vals of kosti. Wind we, wind swiftly Our warwinning woof. sword-bearing rovers To banners rush on, Mind, maidens, we spare not One life in the fray! We corse-choosing sisters Der Ring des Nibelungen, a famous production from Bayreuth 1976, recorded 1980. Carmen Reppel as Gerhilde Gabriele Schnaut as Waltraute Gwendolyn Killebrew as Schwertleite Karen Middleton as Ortlinde Gwyneth Jones as Brünnhilde Katie Clarke as Helmwige Ilse Gramatzki as Grimgerde Jeannine Altmeyer as Sieglinde Elisabeth Glauser as Rossweisse Marga Schiml as Siegrune Conducted by Pierre Boulez Directed by Patrice Chéreau, who had very little experience with opera, and his only exposure to Wagner on stage was a performance of Die Walküre at the Paris Opéra that he slept thru. Scenic design by Richard Peduzzi, who had never designed a Wagner opera Costumes by Jacques Schmidt, who had never dressed a Wagner opera Der Walküren-Ritt La Chevauchée des Walkyries

Richard Wagner - Walkürenritt


Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813, Leipzig, Germany - 13 February 1883, Venice, Italy) was a German composer, conductor, music theorist, director, and essayist, primarily known for his operas (or "music dramas", as they were later called). Unlike most other great opera composers, Wagner wrote the scenario and libretto for his works. Wagner's compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for contrapuntal texture, rich chromaticism, harmonies and orchestration, and elaborate use of leitmotifs: musical themes associated with particular characters, locales or plot elements. Wagner pioneered advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres, which greatly influenced the development of European classical music. He transformed musical thought through his idea of Gesamtkunstwerk ("total artwork"), the synthesis of all the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, epitomized by his monumental four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (1876). To try to stage these works as he imagined them, Wagner built his own opera house.

Wagner - RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES - Furtwangler


The Ride of the Valkyries, by Richard Wagner, in a classic recording with Wilhelm Furtwangler and the Vienna Philharmonic. Illustrations are by Arthur Rackham. "One golden summer in adolescence...I heard the 'Ride of the Valkyries' on a gramophone and saw Arthur Rackham's illustrations to The Ring." (C.S.Lewis) The music: probably the most famous and instantly identifiable of Wagner's works is this short orchestral prelude from Die Walkure, the second opera in the monumental Der Ring des Nibelungen. It has gone on to enter popular culture, being used in many films, most notably the helicopter attack sequence in Apocalypse Now. In terms of composition it perfectly demonstrates Wagner's epic sense of drama, and also his masterful orchestration. The conductor: Wilhelm Furtwangler is probably unrivalled as an interpreter of the core Austro-German Romantic repertoire, setting benchmarks in the performance of Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Wagner, Bruckner and others. His recordings include two complete Ring Cycles, both of them classics. The illustrations: Arthur Rackham was one of the greatest illustrators at the turn of the 19th century, creating classic visions for fairy tales and fantasies (Alice, Peter Pan, etc.). His work on Der Ring des Nibelungen is often considered one of the finest visual depictions of Wagner's epic. Sound: sorry the quality isn't first class - the recording is nearly sixty years old! (Imagine what Furtwangler could do with digital surround sound...) Hope you enjoy, and please get in touch if you have any comments or suggestions. If you want to hear more, do subscribe...

Wagner - Sinopoli - Parsifal Act 3


The finale of Act 3 of Wagner's final opera 'Parsifal' from a Bayreuth production recorded in 1998. Parsifal has returned the sacred spear back to the community of Grail Knights, proving he is the 'innocent fool' of Gurnemanz's prophecy. Parsifal uncovers the grail, the knights announce their "redeemer redeemed" and the opera closes with some of the most beautiiful and powerful music ever written. Falk Struckmann is Amfortas Matthias Holle is Titurel Hans Sotin is Gurnemanz. Poul Elming as Parsifal. The chorus and orchestra of the Bayreuth Festival is conducted by Giuseppe Sinopoli. Music and Libretto by the one and only Richard Wagner!!

Wagner- Parsifal - Act III - Good Friday Music (Kurt Moll)


from Parsifal's "Du salbtest mir die Füsse" to the peal of bells in the distance before "Mittag". Parsifal, opera, WWV 111, Karfreitagszauber (Good Friday Spell) Kurt Moll (Gurnemanz), Siegfried Jerusalem, and Waltraud Meier - Levine conducts. go here to see this performance continue at "Mittag": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX5f0ZYO7d8 A warm and sunny Good Friday, with its mood of sacred solemnity, once inspired me with the idea of writing Parsifal; since then it has lived within me and prospered, like a child in its mother's womb. With each Good Friday it grows a year older, and I then celebrate the day of its conception, knowing that its birthday will follow one day. [Letter from Richard Wagner to King Ludwig, 14 April 1865] Barry Millington writes: In his searching essay, "The Sorrows and Grandeur of Richard Wagner", Thomas Mann comes closer than most commentators to describing the sublime, monumental effect of Wagner's music. It is marked by "pessimistic heaviness and measured yearning", he says, and speaks of "forces struggling out of dark confusion to find deliverance in beauty". Nowhere is that sense of a weighty tread allied to unearthly, exalted eloquence more evident than in the composer's last, most masterly score, Parsifal (1877-82).. Parsifal, after many years of wandering, appears with the spear that will heal Amfortas's wound. Gazing on the beautiful meadows, Parsifal says that on Good Friday every living thing should only sigh and sorrow, and the radiant Good Friday Music is a poignant meditation on the chief themes of the opera: suffering, compassion and redemption.
