I have prepared the chorus for this opera twice in my career as Chorus Master- Indpls Opera. I have no words for this overpowering music. It was a great experience. Viele Dank-Herr Wagner
Yes, but it only works in German. The treatment of the different voices must be the accord. For solo it can be done in the human voice and the orchester to achieve the tri-accord. That is why concert performance of Wagner NEEDS the Orchester. A piano recital will inevitably be off-key.
Louder, louder, always louder - Wagner's demand of the orchestra & singers. Michael Rhodes warned - Don't sing Wagner if you don't have a voice of steel - it'll kill ya. That instruction was for soloists, but I figure that you could get away w. a "lesser" voice in the chorus. This piece has "cohones." I love it.

Yes, if You consider the German language, which probably in the subjunctive case has overtones a fifth above the base. That is why Wagner is close to intranslatable to English (or Italian - for that matter - especially Italian that has "clean" overtones an octave higher). English is so poor in tonality.
Twain was actually quoting Edgar Wilson "Bill" Nye. - "and it took me some time to get myself educated up to the point where I could enjoy Wagner. I am satisfied if I get it in the proper doses but I do feel about it a good deal as Bill Nye said. He said he had heard that Wagner’s music was better than it sounds." - Mark Twain 1902
Yes I agree in terms of the caidence of the languages referenced. However in practical terms as far as what Samuel Clements had access to, one would have to raise the question of what actual performances he was able to hear back in his time, since there were no electronic reproductions. Of course if he was ever present in the audience of the Metropolitan Opera, he would have heard the worlds top most quality operatic presentations. We should be very proud of our Met because even in Mark Twain's day, the Met was considered an equal rival of anyting in Europe. In the current day language cadences, the UK's version of English has gotten so contorted that it is very difficult to sing UK English. That is the reason most British recording artists end up singing the American version of the English language.
Richard Wagner, der Unsterbliche, will uns mit seiner Musik wachrütteln, damit wir oft die himmlischen Gefilde aufsuchen, um zu erkennen, dass wir göttliche Wesen sind. Die Musik von Beethoven, Bach und anderer Komponisten bewirkt dasselbe......
Yes ... can sense similarities ( especally the violin section conjunction with the men's chorus ) with Pinafore. Sullivan was also influenced by the great Schubert.
I've always felt that Gilbert & Sullivan were inspired or drew on this work for HMS among other. Wagner pieces. There's IMO at least a motif similarity if my ears betraying me.
I will come to Amsterdam just to see this. PM me the name of the coffeeshop. I've been wanting another excuse to come to Amsterdam again. Greetings from Vienna Austria :)
Great, thank you so much!! I just called the theater and luckily i caught the pre-sale, where you can get the best deals and best seats. So I added The Flying Dutchman to my package. :))
Re tge artist: I thought either Joseph Turner the great English artist, or possibly c Caspar David Friedrich...but I don't recognize it. The story is from a satirical novel by Heine, it is slightly ridiculous but I have always found this one of Wagner's most dynamic works. The idea is good. His main ideas were good. But he overdid things in other areas as has been mentioned and hence Nietzsche (once a big supporter) broke with him.

Robbi496 thanks for the comment...Wagner was notoriously racist and anti Semite giving inspiration to crazy people... mentioning this is not about respect, is a fact!
Aufforderungen zur Selbsttötung solltest lassen, wenn Du willst, dass Deine Argumente angehört werden. Und vor nen Zug sollte man sowieso besser nicht springen. Es ist nämlich nicht lustig, wenn die Zugreisenden wegen so jemandem mit 2 Stunden Verspätung das Reiseziel erreichen. Ich rede da aus Erfahrung.
Respect for who? The notorious antisemite? He made great music, but I'm not going to respect him after what he wrote, and what he still represents to a lot of people.
Wagner is a paradox. He really was as morally ugly as man as you will ever hear of, with a mind full of hate and power fantasies. Yet some of the music is remarkably beautiful. This seems to be true from music throughout history -- several great rock musicians (I'm looking at you, John Lennon and Eric Clapton) have shown themselves to be real pieces of work off-stage. When I was growing up, there was a common theme stating that if you would not welcome a person as a dinner guest, then you should not invite them into your homes via TV. Fortunately people paid no attention to these campaigns, because most people have only a small type they would be comfortable with as guests. And some of these rat-b***ards have produced truly extraordinary art.
In reply to itsreno His anti-semitism is still what many people remember Wagner for the most, so that is enough of a reason to mention it on a free speech forum. It has nothing to do with respect.
+Violetta Valery How many people remember Wagner as a person? Or do you mean they remember reading it somewhere? I don;t see any anti-semitic themes in his operas.. So yeah, why mention it?
It is commonly argued that negative characters in Wagner' s librettos (Mime in the "Ring", also the figure ?Beckmesser? in the "Meistersinger") are modelled after Jewish stereotypes (these sterotypes in fact often contain nearly any negative trait that could be thought of a human, in fact, in conspiracy theories etc nowadays negative figures in history are always claimed to be Jewish and vice versa - often with no evidence about the origins). Unfortunately, it seems that racist and anti-Jewish sentiments were mainstream views in the 19. and parts of the 20. century. Wagner, of course, held them, and in his essay about the Jews in the music, he claims that they are inferior, cherry picking and subjectively interpreting the capabilities of composers like Mendelssohn.

a big moment in this oper for the chorus
One of old Wagner's greatest hits! I'm sure Gilbert and Sullivan were inspired by it.
So I'm not the only one who saw a small resemblance to Wagner in Arthur Sullivan's music? Perhaps Sullivan was inspired by Wagner.
Off topic. I have a German version set of CDs Pirates of Penzance. Piraten.
Wagner inspired many and certainly Gilbert and Sullivan.
Yes ... can sense similarities ( especally the violin section conjunction with the men's chorus ) with Pinafore. Sullivan was also influenced by the great Schubert.
