Richard Wagner - Siegfried Idyll

Conductor: Sergiu Celibidache & Münchner Philharmoniker
Apart from the operas, Wagner composed a small number of pieces; this stems from his reluctance to conceive music which didn't belong to the sacredness of the drama, fundamental expression of his thought.
The "Siegfried Idyll" is a symphonic poem for chamber orchestra, composed by Richard Wagner (1813-1883) as a birthday present to his second wife, Cosima, after the birth of their son Siegfried in 1869. It was first performed on Christmas morning, 25 December 1870, by a small ensemble on the stairs of their villa at Tribschen.
Wagner's opera "Siegfried", which was premiered in 1876, incorporates music from the Idyll. It was once thought that the Idyll borrowed musical ideas intended for the opera, but it is now known that the opposite is the case: Wagner adapted melodic material from an unfinished chamber piece in the Idyll and later incorporated it into the love scene between Siegfried and Brunhilde in the opera.

For anyone so blessed to who have ever been in true love, imagine the incredible awe Wagner's wife must Cosima have felt as he debuted this incredible symphonic poem to his wife as a gift on Christmas morning to his wife for the birch of their son Seigfrid. He arranged to have a small chamber ensemble perform it at their villa in Tribschen. It was a musical poem illustrating sunrise and birdsong. Truly, one of the most lovingly romantic gestures of musical artistic brilliance of all-time.

Next to Cosima, Nietzsche also got to experience that, too. He had his own study (thinking) room, called the 'denktube' in Tribschen. It was on a spot from which he was able to hear Wagner perform Siegfried's third act, while writing Nietzsche wrote his famous works.

Wagner composed the Siegfried Idyll as a birthday present to his second wife, Cosima, after the birth of their son Siegfried in 1869. It was first performed on Christmas morning, 25 December 1870,[1] by a small ensemble of the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich on the stairs of their villa at Tribschen (today part of Lucerne), Switzerland. Cosima awoke to its opening melody. Conductor Hans Richter played the brief trumpet part in that private performance.[2] The original title was Triebschen Idyll with Fidi's birdsong and the orange sunrise, as symphonic birthday greeting. Presented to his Cosima by her Richard. "Fidi" was the family's nickname for their son Siegfried. It is thought that the birdsong and the sunrise refer to incidents of personal significance to the couple. Wagner's opera Siegfried, which was premiered in 1876, incorporates music from the Idyll. Wagner adapted the material from an unfinished chamber piece into the Idyll before giving the theme to Brunhilde in the opera's final scene.[3] The work also uses a German lullaby, "Schlaf, Kindlein, schlaf (de)", played by solo oboe. Ernest Newman discovered it was linked to the Wagners' older daughter Eva. This and other musical references, whose meaning remained unknown to the outside world for many years, reveal the idyll's levels of personal significance for both Wagner and Cosima.[4] Wagner originally intended the Siegfried Idyll to remain a private piece.[5] However, due to financial pressures, he decided to sell the score to publisher B. Schott in 1878.[3] In doing so, Wagner expanded the orchestration to 35 players to make the piece more marketable.[3] The original piece is scored for a small chamber orchestra of 13 players: flute, oboe, two clarinets, bassoon, two horns, trumpet, two violins, viola, cello and double bass. The trumpet part is very brief, lasting only 13 measures. The piece is commonly played today by orchestras with more than one player on each string part. Modern performances are much slower than those of earlier years.[6]

I'd always thought that I might name any daughter I had after one of Tolkien's characters (ferget about the films, it's the influence of the books.. he borrowed/stole some ideas from the cycle of myths that Wagner drew on) - She'd have ended up something like Luthien Rahman, or even Luthien Tinuviel Rahman! Anyway. In the event, when my daughter WAS born, I didn't. I think I just forgot. So you're named after Wagner, but from your surname, from a very different milieu? That's pretty cool.

Wagner's Siegfried Idyll is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. Though I like much of Wagner's music, I could only enjoy the excerpts from his operas as opposed to the opera's in their entirety. The Siegfried Idyll reveals Wagner's genius with a piece of such unrivaled tenderness and warmth. Such music convinces me that there is still some beauty in a weary world, and even by a man who by many accounts was quite self-centered, pompous and bigoted.

"yet his soul was so very ugly." Again, examples ? Are you refering to his famous "antisemitism" ? You cannot judge a person with different social and cultural glasses. It's easy to not be "antisemitic" after the Holocaust, but antisemitism was a centuries long tradition which even "enlightened" spirits couldn't view with our XXth and XXIst century's eyes.

I agree about the conducting. Celibadache was a great conductor, one of the all-time greats. Also a great human being. Incidentally, there is a recording of this music conducted by Siegfried Wagner. He studied "his piece" with the conductor Hans Richter. His interpretation was very authentic. If you hear it, listen to the clarinets doing the bird calls which punctuate the music. I suspect that Toscanini who knew Siegfried personally was inspired to perform these bird calls in the same way. Also a great reading of the piece, Toscanini's.

Ehhh, you’re kidding yourself if you think this guy wasn’t questionable. He was openly antisemitic in his own lifetime. As for Nietzsche, you don’t need to look very hard (say in Thus Spoke Zarathustra for example) for instances of him being sexist. Yes his music was appropriated and that’s a shame, and his music is divine, but I’m just saying… he was racist as hell.

El maestro Celibidache dirigió memorables conciertos en Caracas. Se decía que no le gustaba grabar. menos mal que al final decidió hacerlo, para deleite de sus admiradores. ¡Extraordinario Wagner! ¡Gracias, Maestro!

Like it or not, 4 or 5 of the 10 greatest composers of all time were Germans. As a non-German, I can only stand in awe at what they achieved in the arts over 200 years or so. All of this creative endowment to the world and humanity stands completely separate from their political or social history. And the worst that Germany has done in the 20th century will never detract one bit from the musical accomplishments of Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, and Wagner, among many others

Aside from the nazi's, there is a proud political and social history in Germany. You can't discard a rich, wonderful culture because some criminals took over government and went on a massive killing spree. The German people gave us so much more than music, and continue to do so.

If you block half of his face, you can see that half of his face is pretty neutral, but the other side shows a different version of him...
