Os fãs de Richard Wagner

Richard Wagner: hate him, loathe him and… admire him

June 23, 2013
The Wagnerian universe revolves around a body of music that is painfully beautiful, moving us to the very core of our being, offering us magical and unique effects similar to those of psychedelic drugs.

BBC Proms - Barenboim fala sobre Richard Wagner - Não pode separar-se o compositor e a sua música do ser humano...



WAGNER nos PROMS - 2013

Wagner em grande nos PROMS




As emoções ao rubro com Barenboim a dirigir O Crepúsculo dos Deuses...

« Emotions often run high, for various reasons, where the music of Richard Wagner is concerned.

forbidden question because she needs to confirm Lohengrin’s belief in her innocence, a belief

that Ortrud successfully eroded in Act II. This novel interpretation reveals Elsa as a rational

individual, upgrades the dramatic significance of the Act I combat scene, and signals a

hermeneutic return to the heart of opera criticism, the drama itself....»   Continuem a leitura em: http://else.econ.ucl.ac.uk/papers/uploaded/375.pdf
