More from Dresden:




Sarge

    you mean to tell me that all this time Sarge you did not have that recording in your collection  !  Glad to hear that you did something about it!  Rienzi was Wagner's first commercial success which made him famous throughout Europe.  It is an opera, in the French style with a ballet, massive choruses etc. Wagner was striving to outdo Halevy and Meybereer with that opera and I believe he was quite successful.  It's ironic that Wagner later came to resent the popularity of Rienzi arguing that it does not represent all that he is capable of accomplishing.  I think Tristan und Isolde and the Ring Cycle demonstrate just how much Wagner had grown and matured musically from Rienzi to become the remarkable opera music drama we know him today  0:).

Yes and no. Once upon a time I had Rienzi on a 10.5 inch tape that I played on a Revox reel-to-reel tape deck. But I sold the Revox in the mid-80s and never replaced Rienzi with CDs. Other music took priority, I guess (like ten Rings  )  I'm looking forward to getting reacquainted with the music. I've always loved the overture.

CPO offers this 7-CD box of Son of Wagner's music at a budget price. I thought I'd take a chance:

I have this box for quite same time now, and I still play it continuously, on and off.
Marvelous music, very well written, and in its own right a very good composer.

Oh, so this is not a disc of Wagner's works??

Where's the ROFL-with-embarrassment icon when you need one?

That's a REALLY fast performance of the Suk Serenade, in the first movement anyhow - but not bad at least.

I bought it for the Suk which is supposed to be a good recording of the work.
