Composer of the Week (1/5) Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
Examining the dark sides of Wagner, Donald Macleod explores the composer's self-obsession.Wagner believed he was an extraordinary artist set apart from other men and, in the character of Lohengrin, the idea of a hero separated from ordinary mortals is followed to its logical conclusion. Wagner's perspective is revealed in his own words, against the backdrop of music from the opera.

Composer of the Week (3/5) Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
Donald Macleod concludes his examination of the dark sides of Wagner, and explores his shocking views about race, looking at what the composer himself wrote about this subject, including the essay Judaism in Music. Many commentators have argued that his racism is also revealed in his operas, especially The Mastersingers of Nuremberg. Donald examines the issues alongside music from the opera.

ついで話。上のURLを調べるために、METのコーナーにアクセスついでにそのまま再生させていたら、このコーナーはえらい素敵な音源の宝庫ですね*1 *2。ディスクの紹介になってるのもナイス。全然オペラ慣れしてない頃に聴いた筈なんだけど、その頃はさっぱりピンと来なかったからスルーしてた。実に勿体無かった。Olga Borodina; Valery Gergiev: Boris Godunovとか、はっとしました。と思ったら、これgalahadさんに教えてもらったディスクじゃないか。すいません検索だけで気が済んで図書館に行くのをサボってました。速攻行ってきます。ボリスにはやはりどうしても引き寄せられてしまうようだ。これ
