Download or read book Wagner Without Fear written by William Berger and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you cringe when your opera-loving friends start raving about the latest production of Tristan? Do you feel faint just thinking about the six-hour performance of Parsifal you were given tickets to? Does your mate accuse you of having a Tannhäuser complex? If you're baffled by the behavior of Wagner worshipers, if you've longed to fathom the mysteries of Wagner's ever-increasing popularity, or if you just want to better understand and enjoy the performances you're attending, you'll find this delightful book indispensable. William Berger is the most helpful guide one could hope to find for navigating the strange and beautiful world of the most controversial artist who ever lived. He tells you all you need to know to become a true Wagnerite--from story lines to historical background; from when to visit the rest room to how to sound smart during intermission; from the Jewish legend that possibly inspired Lohengrin to the tragic death of the first Tristan. Funny, informative, and always a pleasure to read, Wagner Without Fear proves that the art of Wagner can be accessible to everyone. Includes: - The strange life of Richard Wagner--German patriot (and exile), friend (and enemy) of Liszt and Nietzsche - Essential opera lore and "lobby talk" - A scene-by-scene analysis of each opera - What to listen for to get the most from the music - Recommended recordings, films, and sound tracks

Download or read book Wagner's Tannhauser written by Wakeling Dry and published by . This book was released on 2013-10-02 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from Chapter V. Music and Story - Side by Side: THE fine overture, so frequently heard in the concert-room, consists of a compilation of the chief themes in the opera. Well contrasted with the grave Chorus of the Pilgrims, with which it opens, is the lascivious charm of the Venusberg music. Then, after the Hymn to Venus (worked up from a trumpet call to a symphonic fulness), the music drifts back to the Pilgrim's Chorus again, aided by a strenuous passage on the strings, and finishes with a brilliant display in orthodox overture form. The alteration in the overture, which was made for the Paris version, consisted in prolonging the Venusberg music until the rising of the curtain. With the exception of Die Meistersinger, this was the last of Wagner's overtures. His next opera, Lohengrin, contained the first of his preludes, which are made either to strike the note for that which is to follow, to carry on the action to the succeeding act, or to bring back to the memory (as in the prelude to the third act of Siegfried) something which has passed before. The scene, as the curtain rises, takes us into the enervating atmosphere of unholy passions. It is the interior of the abode of Venus ; and, reclining on a raised couch, the goddess of love caresses the head of Tannhuser. In the water of the lake which extends into the distance, are groups of Sirens and Naiads, while nymphs and Bacchantes dance here and there to the seductive strains. By the side of the lake groups of lovers are to be seen. Although the leading motive, in its accepted significance, is not found in Tannhuser, theVenusberg theme, however, partakes of the nature of a motive. We shall hear it later when Tannhuser is about to join in the Song-contest, and again when he is being tempted from his purpose of repentance and amended life in the last act. In voluptuous abandonment the Sirens sing of love's delights as the dance rapidly develops into a wild orgy.

Download or read book Great Wagner Conductors written by Jonathan Brown and published by Parrot Press. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Ebook version of the award-winning "Great Wagner Conductors" published in 2012, now scarce in print. It contains corrections to the hardback edition, and remedies some omissions to the discographies. It also contains all 723 illustrations in the book, brilliantly illuminated, many showing the conductors at work. Some of these are rare, some are in colour. (These are not displayed in the free sample.) "Great Wagner Conductors" is the first in-depth study to bring the great historical Wagner conductors to life - through anecdote, their own views on Wagner’s music, reports of their performances throughout the world, and their recordings. There is a substantial introductory chapter on Wagner - what he was like as a conductor of his own works and what he wanted of his conductors – then follow chapters on Hans von Bülow, Hans Richter, Anton Seidl, Hermann Levi, Felix Mottl, Karl Muck, Artur Nikisch, Albert Coates, Gustav Mahler, Felix Weingartner, Bruno Walter, Arturo Toscanini, Artur Bodanzky, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Fritz Busch, Erich Kleiber, Hans Knappertsbusch, Clemens Krauss, Karl Böhm, Richard Strauss, Otto Klemperer, and Fritz Reiner. Thousands of reviews of performances from many countries have been distilled to bring us as close as we can to knowing what the conductors were really like. There are comprehensive discographies setting out what the conductors recorded. Rare recordings are documented. There is comment on or excerpts from reviews of all the major recordings, and on many of the more obscure. A section on timings of actual and recorded performances, from Wagner onwards, reveals how widely practice has varied. There is a Select Bibliography, and an Index. "The level of detail achieved is quite breathtaking," wrote David Patmore in "Classical Recordings Quarterly" reviewing the hardback, "It extends to a vast arsenal of footnotes … as a resource they will be amazingly useful in a vast range of different contexts…. For anyone interested in conducting from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, and in particular the performance of Wagner, this book will be an essential acquisition. Its strength lies in the collection of so many different and varied contemporary reports of Wagner in performance from approximately 1850 to 1960. If this is where your interest lies, it will provide much fascinating reading." (Winter 2012). "Great Wagner Conductors is a major contribution to the literature on this subject," wrote Gary Galo in the "ARSC Journal", "and belongs in the library of every serious Wagner enthusiast." (May 2013). The book was awarded an Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research in 2013.
