The Best of Wagner

Показать описание
Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813 – 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his later works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in the romantic vein of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama. He described this vision in a series of essays published between 1849 and 1852. Wagner realised these ideas most fully in the first half of the four-opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).

His compositions, particularly those of his later period, are notable for their complex textures, rich harmonies and orchestration, and the elaborate use of leitmotifs—musical phrases associated with individual characters, places, ideas, or plot elements. His advances in musical language, such as extreme chromaticism and quickly shifting tonal centres, greatly influenced the development of classical music. His Tristan und Isolde is sometimes described as marking the start of modern music.

Wagner had his own opera house built, the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, which embodied many novel design features. The Ring and Parsifal were premiered here and his most important stage works continue to be performed at the annual Bayreuth Festival, run by his descendants. His thoughts on the relative contributions of music and drama in opera were to change again, and he reintroduced some traditional forms into his last few stage works, including Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (The Mastersingers of Nuremberg).

Until his final years, Wagner's life was characterised by political exile, turbulent love affairs, poverty and repeated flight from his creditors. His controversial writings on music, drama and politics have attracted extensive comment, notably, since the late 20th century, where they express antisemitic sentiments. The effect of his ideas can be traced in many of the arts throughout the 20th century; his influence spread beyond composition into conducting, philosophy, literature, the visual arts and theatre.

Aprendi a gostar de música clássica com meu pai, desde criança.Acho Richard Wagner imponente, vigoroso e ao mesmo tempo romântico. Sou brasileira, do Ceará e lamentavelmente pouquíssimas pessoas apreciam esse gênero musical dizendo não entendê-la. Na realidade não tem o que entender e sim deixar-se levar pelo sentimento que nos torna sensível ao belo; transcendental

Gigantisch wie Wagner die einzelnen Instrumente in Szene setzt und dann zum ganzen vereint.
Hut ab vor diesem Genie !

Few composers wrote music of such power and grandeur. The beauty Wagner created will live forever.

Diese Musik fegt den politischen Altagsfrust einfach hinweg. Man befindet sich in einer anderen, stimmigen Welt. Zum Glück haben wir einige Genies auf die wir immer zurückgreifen können und die unser Dasein bereichern.

A mis 16 años empezó a gustarme la música clásica al oir a Bach, Vivaldi, Hendel... Luego la música de Bethoven, Schubert, ... me emocionaba ( todavía me conmueve). Pero una vez ya madurado mi gusto y mi sensibilidad, en mis escuchas, conciertos en directo, ( siempre estoy escuchando música clásica), considero que la música de Wagner me apasiona, me emociona, me conmueve y me transporta. Para mí es el más grande. Tanto que me atrevo a decir : " El silencio antes de Wagner".

One of the best things about classical music is that its meaning belongs to the listener alone. I am not German and have no interest in German culture, language or history, and frankly the literary meaning of Wagner's operas are of little concern to me. But the music is incredible! It fills me with awe, it calms me down, it takes my imagination to lands far beyond the scope of the present. In other words, one listens to classical music because of the craftsmanship itself. I've always had a penchant for the dark and the grandiose, which is why Wagner's works click with me more so than those of many other composers. It drives you to action, with the more relaxed compositions serving as a breathing room before the next epic can take place. It's a journey for the truly demanding mind and as a perfectionist myself, I relate to the themes that these operas are undoubtedly meant to invoke. Greetings from Poland.

Вы стали одной из шикарнейших женщин,
когда Вы из лона в столицу вошли!
Весь дух Ваш успехом и счастьем увенчан,
а плечи парчою одежд обросли.

Не кажетесь лишней, ненужной планете,
а даже совсем и совсем наоборот!
Окутаны лоском, чистотами света,
трудами Вы славите самость и род!

Увидена мной Вы средь тысяч мельканий
(горячих, холодных, великих, пустых),
мельчайших частичек сияющих граней,
мелодий и песен, вещаний густых.

И вот напитавшись узреньем, словами,
что Вы источали с экранных пластин,
мечтаю я в коробе между домами
Вас встретить вживую в толпе величин.

Yo daría mi vida por las notas de este maestro, defendería este arte con mi vida y daría hasta la última gota de sangre por proteger su ideal. Este arte nos hace verdaderos humanos, nos hace amar de verdad me hace incluso perdonar a mis enemigos. Esto es arte trascendente, arte que evoca a la evolución y regeneración del ser humano, qué seríamos sin estos grandes héroes que exprimieron la música hasta el extremo, ya me hubiera suicidado desde hace tiempo sin este goce. A esta música le debo todo, me ha sacado de las más grandes depresiones, cuando es música hasta los acordes y melodías tristes son hermosas y sublimes. Me hace sentirme como un caballero valiente que lucha, me hace sentir más vivo de lo normal. Vida eterna para los grandes maestros de la música clásica, jamás pensé que la música podría ser algo tan serio hasta que conocí a los grandes maestros que nos recuerdan día a día lo que es ser verdaderos hombres y mujeres.
