	Richard Wagner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wagner is also an extremely controversial figure, both because of his musical and dramatic innovations, and because he was a very public proponent of anti-semitic ideas.
		Wagner's second source of inspiration was the poet-writer Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of the silk merchant Otto von Wesendonck.
		Wagner met the Wesendoncks in Zürich in 1852.

	Richard Wagner - Siegfried Idyll
		The late Siegfried Wagner, inheritor of Bayreuth, was born to Richard Wagner and Cosima in 1869.
		Wagner, then at the height of his artistic powers, was deeply involved in the tangled skein of his last and consummative love affair and the completion of his opera "Siegfried." Cosima, as Wagner wrote a friend,' had "defied every disapprobation and taken upon her-self every condemnation.
		In the early morning Wagner heard Cosima's servant, Vreneli, the good angel of the house, cry, "Ein sohn ist da." Siegfried was born while the rising sun turned into a blaze of the color of the orange wall-paper outside Cosima's room, a bird sang, and chiming bells sounded over the Lake of Lucerne.

		Siegfried returns from his wanderings in the forest, demanding to know his parentage, and Mime is forced to explain how he took in Siegfried's mother, Sieglinde, who died giving birth.
		Siegfried is eager to learn it, and Mime promises to teach him by bringing him to Fafner the dragon.
		When Siegfried draws his sword from the corpse, his hands are burned by the dragon's blood, and he instinctively puts them to his mouth.

		Siegfried stretches on the ground under a lime tree to rest, enchanted by the murmur of the forest, yearning for the mother he never knew.
		Reaching the summit, Siegfried discovers an armed, sleeping figure, which he assumes to be a man. When he removes the Valkyrie's shield, helmet and breastplate, however, he finds instead the first woman he has ever seen.At last sensing fear, he invokes the spirit of his mother, finally summoning the courage to kiss the maiden's lips.
		When Siegfried tries to embrace her, she starts in alarm, protesting that earthly passion would destroy her immortality.But she is mortal, no longer a Valkyrie, and womanly ardor soon replaces shame and fear.

	Siegfried (Wagner) - Plot, Music
		In it Wagner "was chiefly attracted by the charm of a character developed in immediate contact with Nature; being, indeed, one with Nature, and therefore, like Nature, fresh and ever new in its impulsive naiveté." This character is Siegfried, the hero of the two last dramas of the cycle.
		With one mighty stroke of the new weapon, Siegfried cleaves the anvil in twain.
		Siegfried slays the dragon; and plucking his sword from the monster’s heart, he wets his finger with the blood, and cleanses it with his tongue.

	Wagner, Siegfried (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Siegfried has got the sword-forging scene at the end of Act I; and it’s got the awakening of Brunhilde in the middle of Act III; and it has Siegfried’s horn and the 'forest murmurs' in Act II -- but it doesn’t have the succession of 'great moments' that Valkyrie does.
		Siegfried’s rants against Mime are simply the normal, ungrateful sulkiness of the average adolescent.
		When Siegfried fights Fafner, the latter is, slightly disappointingly, in the form of a giant, rather than a dragon; but it’s done very well making use of the shadow-play which is becoming a hallmark of this production.

	Lancette feature12 Siegfried - Lancettte Journal of the Arts
		Wagner had married her on August 25, 1870 after her marriage to the conductor, Hans von Bülow, had been annulled.
		I recall Victor Borge describing a typical case: Wagner always wrote his own libretto, usually long before he set them to music, and he used to call in groups of friends to listen patiently as he read through his latest text.
		Well, when Wagner completed the text of that famous music drama about adulterous and uncontrollable passion, Tristan und Isolde, he read it aloud to his wife [Minna], his mistress, his mistress's husband, his future mistress, and his future mistress's husband.

		The funeral pyre for Arbogast is not the nihilistic conflagration of his father’s opera but a fire of renewal, with a new sapling replacing the felled Linden tree and the promise of a new king/hero (Fritigern) to replace the old one.
		The problems with the opera are compounded by Siegfried’s apparent reliance on archetypes from his father’s operas, even to using the same voice type.
		When Wagner gives him some substantial material, such as in his Act 1 aria after he has discovered the woman he loves is Hildegard not Sigrun, he displays a fine, flexible resonant voice.

	The Ring
		Siegfried is a of course a character from Teutonic mythology.
		Wagner believed that people should know his theoretical works before they came to The Ring, and it seems fair to say that he has used his theoretical template for Comedy as the basis for Siegfried.
		Wagner's use of the word "Kunst" with Mime is a repeats of the technique he uses with Wieland (who we found to be linked with Mime through their identity as "slaves of Industry").

		From its title one would guess that Wagner's Siegfried Idyll was, like Siegfried's Rhine Journey, connected to the hero of his mighty Ring tetralogy and perhaps drawn from the third part of that work, itself entitled Siegfried.
		And it was there that Wagner prepared for his new wife an exquisite present for her thirty-third birthday, which fell on Christmas Day 1870.
		Both Wagner and Cosima felt that this work was something connected to the intimacy of their marriage, so it was with some pain that Wagner, in a time of financial difficulty, sent it off to a publisher in November 1877.

		The recording problems are now legendary, with Ernst Kozub being the original Siegfried (Windgassen was thought to be too far past his prime to be ideal), but with Kozub not being prepared, Windgassen literally stepped in at the last minute to give a commanding performance.
		Wolfgang Windgassen is past his prime as Siegfried and isn't quite heroic enough for Siegfried, but that matters far less on record than it would in the theater, and he gives an inspired interpretation of the part.
		Thus, Siegfried is not an undertaking for minor singers or orchestra.

		When the Bavarian State bought from the Wagner Family the historic Festspielhaus, Wagner's Haus Wahnfried—which was restored at great cost as a museum, and those Wagner manuscripts which still remained in the Family Archives, a committee was set up to oversee these treasures and guarantee continuity for the famous festival.
		Wolfgang Wagner wouldn't be able to function as effectively as he now does were it not for her constant collaboration.

		The work of both singers is heard at its best here: Melchior's Siegfried is as highly-charged and vigorous as is any Olympic athlete; Schorr's Wanderer (Wotan) projects a beauty of voice and an authority that I have never heard matched.
		This is not, of course, a complete 'Siegfried.' But it is almost certainly the most thrilling recorded performance by Lauritz Melchior of the young hero.
		I suspect this would be a wonderful purchase for someone coming to 'Siegfried' (and to Wagner) without prior experience.
