Ferdinand Leeke.

Ferdinand Leeke (1859-1923) was the creator of a serial of paintings showing scenes from the operas of Richard Wagner.These images provide much more than a simple illustration of Wagner's music dramas. Like no other artist Leeke managed to create the exact atmosphere that Wagner had established by his compositions.The works by Leeke are exhibited in several well-established art-museums, as for example the Neue Pinakothek in Munich and the Richard Wagner Museum in Bayreuth.In 1899 the prominent Bavarian printer Franz Hanfstaengl made copper plates from the original pictures. In a highly complicated procedure Franz Hanfstaengl produced the printing plates to transform Leeke's images into photogravures.These photogravures printed from the original plates are assorted in an exclusive folder that is produced only in a limited edition of 970 pieces worldwide.Every handpulled picture an originalThe art of etching and handcopper prints is regarded as one of the oldest and finestprinting techniques.In case of etching the motif is etched by the artist directly into the copperplate, with heliogravure the image has been engraved by using a complicated and extremly difficult photographic and handicraft procedure.Printing is done on heavy handmade-paper. Today, as 500 years ago, the copperplate is still carefully re-inked by hand and then cleaned with wide-meshed gauze balls, for only when the ink lies deep in the impressions the print will possess the velvety tones and fragile lines so characteristic of old, valuable engravings.The print is produced by pressing the plate under the pressroller with a pressure of around 16 tons. For every single print the entire procedure has to be repeated.To a greater extent than with wooden engravings, the artistic quality of etchings and copper engravings / heliogravures is dependent on the handicraft skills and the aesthetic sensitivity of the printer.This special way of printing has been done by Hanfstaengl publishers since 1833. Through the precise application and remova! of ink, the carefully-considered choice of paper and the use of the hand press, the printing specialists create a precious original with every page.

Rienzi remains one of the most popular works from the ?master of romantic opera?, Richard Wagner. The Friedensmarsch from the fourth act (scene 2) of Rienzi is subdued and solemn in character: in the sounds of this march, Rienzi strides to a stately church service. This is sure to be a very popular addition to any performance and is one not to be missed.

Entdecken Sie Wagner neu mit Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen, einer Oper, die heute nicht mehr zu den bekanntesten Werken Richard Wagners zählt, aber seinerzeit sehr gut beim Publikum ankam. Das war auf zahlreiche Elemente des Werkes zurückzuführen: Prozessionen, Märsche, Schlachten, Hymnen, ein großes Ballett, Glockengeläut, Trompetensignale und vieles mehr. Wil van der Beek wählte sich den eher gedämpften, ruhigen Friedensmarsch aus dem vierten Akt von Rienzi für diese attraktive Blasorchesterbearbeitung aus.

Richard Wagner est un compositeur unique dans l’histoire. Il enrichit l’harmonie d’agrégations jusqu’alors inusitées, ses orchestrations sont différentes de celles de ses contemporains, ses mélodies semblent infinies, les leitmotiv naissent avec fluidité et ses thèmes d’opéras sont en rupture avec les courants de l’époque. Rienzi (1840) est une oeuvre de jeunesse qui contient en germe tous ces éléments innovateurs. Friedensmarsch est une marche la fois sombre et majestueuse extraite de l’Acte IV, scène 2 de l’opéra.

Richar d Wagner è un compositore unico: arricchisce l’armonia di aggregazioni fino ad allora non utilizzate, le sue orchestrazioni sono diverse da quelle dei suoi contemporanei, le sue melodie sembrano infinite, i leitmotif nascono con fluidit e i temi delle sue opere sono in rottura con le correnti dell’epoca. Rienzi (1840) è un’opera che contiene tutti questi elementi innovatori. Friedensmarsch è una marcia cupa, ma allo stesso tempo maestosa, estratta dall’Atto IV, scena 2 dell’opera.
