L'Or du Rhin : Das Rheingold

Parsifal

Brünnhilde a désobéi à son père, le dieu Wotan : elle a voulu soustraire à sa justice le guerrier Siegmund, frère et amant de Sieglinde. Cédant aux exigences de son épouse, l'inflexible Fricka, Wotan fait tuer Siegmund par Hunding, le mari de Sieglinde, et punit sa fille rebelle. Brünnhilde, déchue de sa condition divine, devient une simple mortelle. Exilée du Walhalla, endormie à l'abri d'un cercle de feu tracé par son père, elle ne s'éveillera qu'à l'appel d'un héros pur et inaccessible à la peur. Cet homme sera Siedfried, le fils de Siegmund et Sieglinde. Après le prologue de L'Or du Rhin, La Walkyrie est la première journée de L'Anneau du Nibelung.

La Walkyrie (Bilingue)

A special kind of birthday song by the comedian and pianist from Munich, Dietrich Paul, called 'Piano Paul'. To mark the 200th birthday of Richard Wagner on 22 May 2013 he prepared a humorous 'piano mixture' of various themes, from the Tristan prelude to the song 'Happy Birthday'. Even Wagner's father-in-law, Franz Liszt, has his say, and Richard Strauss sends his regards in the form of several of his immortal melodies. A cheerful serenade for Wagner lovers and those who wish to be. Suitable as an encore for open-minded pianists. Instrumentation : piano

The Richard Wagner Complete Edition presents the composer's entire output for the first time in a reliable form. The conductor Michael Balling, in the early years of the 20th century, attempted to make Wagner's work more accessible for research and performance, but the edition only reached 10 volumes - some with grave shortcomings - and was discontinued after Balling's death in 1925. A further attempt at a complete edition by Otto Strobel was abandoned at the preliminary stages. This third attempt at a complete edition will be the first scholarly, critical edition, based on an evaluation of all the accessible source materials and the latest findings of serious Wagner research. As the edition is also intended for practical performance, the musical text has been kept free of philological insertions ; these are listed in the appendices of each volume in the Critical Commentary. Numerous, partly unpublished works - some relatively unknown - and variant versions are published here for the first time. The edition presents authentic texts for Wagner specialists and researchers and critically based performing materials. Contrary to widely held opinions, even the well-known works of Wagner are not necessarily available in reliable editions. The genesis, history and performances directed by Wagner himself are extensively documented so as to present as complete an image as possible of Wagner's compositional intentions. WWV 86 A

L'avant scène opéra no 34/35 : Tristan et Isolde

Lyriques

De Richard Wagner, ce sont 269 lettres à Minna Wagner, 149 lettres à Mathilde Wesendonck et 35 lettres à Judith Gautier puis 14 lettres de Mathilde Wesendonck à Richard Wagner, 67 lettres de Cosima Wagner à Judith Gautier et 2 lettres de Judith Gautier à Cosima Wagner. Cette correspondance composée de 536 envois foisonnants est enrichie de 3519 notes inédites et inévitables. S'échelonnant de 1842 à 1898, soit sur cinquante-six ans, cette littérature épistolaire ajuste un éclairage, et non des moindres, quant aux tréfonds du compositeur hors normes. Paris, Bordeaux, London, Saint-Pétersbourg, Wien, Berlin, Dresde, Leipzig, Bayreuth, Lucerne, Genova, Venezia, entre autres, au fil des pérégrinations de l'auteur, défilent. C'est toute l'Europe qui caracole sous nos yeux ébahis - ils demeurent -, de tant d'énergie créatrice sans cesse prodiguée par ce musicien unique. Avec sa célèbre encre violette, il s'évertue envers ses belles aimées à ne pas les oublier et à prendre soin d'elles, entièrement dévoué. On saura gré d'apprendre, de même, les complexités parfois douloureuses de la composition musicale, notamment celle de Tristan und Isolde, légendaire bien avant de le devenir.
Yves Courmes, Philippe Olivier, Samuel Tastet ne sont plus à présenter. Le premier dirige le Cercle Richard Wagner Nice Rive Droite avec passion et dextérité, ponctuées d'un enthousiasme remarquable. Le second, historien de la musique spécialisé dans l'opéra, se révèle être un incommensurable expert de Richard Wagner. En 1961, alors qu'il avait huit ans, il fut bercé à Bayreuth. Quant au troisième, intrépide éditeur, il publie à cheval sur deux pays, la France et la Roumanie, une littérature hors courants. Sans oublier Maria Mikhaylova, artiste-peintre, dont l'oeil précieux et précis anoblit graphiquement ce premier volume de la collection BRW. Une « tétralogie » oeuvrant pour Une autre tétralogie...
