Album Notes
"I just can't listen to Wagner's music", quips Woody Allen in one of his films, "it gives me the urge to invade Poland."
Neuroses aside, if you also find Wagner's style overbearing, this two-disc set may be for you. Conductor Karl Muck (1859-1940) brings exceptional tenderness and devotion to these selections, and his style may in part reflect the influence of the unique conditions he encountered in conducting Wagner's operas at Bayreuth.
The first Bayreuth Festival of 1876, conceived and created by Wagner in order to present his four-opera cycle 'The Ring of the Niebelungen' (and, in 1882, his final opera 'Parsifal') during the summertime on four successive evenings, required the construction of the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, in which the orchestra is positioned in a deep well. Obscured from the audience's sight, Wagner's 'mystic chasm' not only separated the performance reality from his intentioned ideal, but also projected the orchestral sound on to the stage, to blend with the vocal sound before being projected into the auditorium. This unique acoustical setting may help explain Muck's reverential approach, and provides listeners the opportunity to experience Wagner's music conducted in a markedly different yet wholly satisfying way.
