Richard Wagner - On Conducting

SKU: BR.OB-4815-16

ISBN 9790004322178. 10 x 12.5 inches.

The prelude to the opera Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg was given its world premiere in Leipzigs Gewandhaus on 11 November 1862 in a concert that Wagner organized in conjunction with Hans von Bulow and the composer Wendelin Weissheimer. Wagner personally conducted his own work. The concert was a financial flop; artistically, however, it seems to have been an extraordinary success, for Wagner reported the following day to Joachim Raff: My Meistersinger was excellently played, and the DaCapo demanded with great sincerity. It sounded very fine. Since then and increasingly after its publication in 1866, two years before the world premiere of the opera the prelude has been a beloved concert piece that impressively exposes the major themes of the Meistersinger.

Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) completed the 1st version of his Mass No. 3 in F minor in 1863, as Otto Kitzler was introducing him to the music of Richard Wagner, the composer he would emulate for the rest of his life. John Herbeck, who conducted the initial rehearsals for its premiere at the Augustinerkirch on June 16, 1872, warmly declared that it stood beside Beethoven's Missa Solemnis in greatness. Bruckner, often self-critical as a composer, went on to revise the work no less than four times until it was finally published it in 1894. More often heard today in the concert hall than in the church, the sprawling, hour-long work is admired today for its powerful directness. This critical edition was created in 1944 for the Bruckner Gesamtausgabe by Robert Maria Haas.

An instant and overwhelming success upon its first performance in 1893, Hänsel and Gretel has captivated audiences of all ages ever since. Engelbert Humperdinck combined the simplicity of German folk tunes with the sophistication of Wagnerian technique in a fairy-tale opera, based on the story by the Brothers Grimm. Richard Strauss, who conducted the premiere, proclaimed it a masterpiece of the highest quality. Broadcast from Covent Garden in 1923, it was the first complete opera ever aired on radio, and eight years later it was the first to be transmitted live from the Metropolitan Opera.
