Richard Wagner: Wesendonck Lieder – Lise Davidsen, Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Edward Gardner (HD 1080p)
[…] his patron, a muse and the current object of his affections.Wagner ended up in Zurich after having to flee Germany due to his inflammatory activities in the Dresden Uprising of 1849. There, he kept up his musical activities, giving a concert at the city's Aktientheater in April 1853 where a silk merchant and his poet wife were in attendance. Otto and Mathilde Wesendonck had married five years before, and were living in the local Hotel Baur au Lac while their new mansion was being built. It was through staying at this establishment that they came to know the fiery composer and his wife Minna. The two couples hit it off: the Wesendoncks were in thrall to Wagner's music and sympathised with his republican tendencies. But there was another dimension to the relationship. "A rich young merchant, Wesendonck... settled down at Zurich some time ago and in great luxury", wrote Wagner […]

Our pairs of male and female lovers were nicely differentiated, whilst blending with equal skill and pleasure – crucial in an opera with so much ensemble writing, endlessly […]

[…] Malfi as Dorabella, Salome Jicia as Fiordiligi ; © ROH 2019. Photographed by Stephen Cummiskey On its own, the station scene might just be believable precisely because Don Alfonso has planned it with the extras to look authentic. As we go deeper into the drama, however, we are presented with a whole series of areas including dressing rooms, costume departments, bars and two theatre sets depicting gardens. Each is designed (by Ben Baur) to make a new point concerning either relationships or artifice (one set depicts Eden suggesting temptation, the other presents a ‘purer’ Arcadian vision), but by the end we are so steeped in the metaphors and commentaries that we have lost sight of the people at the heart of the drama. That said, this revival has seen some revisions to the staging that have sharpened a few ideas up. For example, last time the […]
