Richard Wagner (1813-1883) was a German composer of Romantic music most famous for his epic operas like The Ring, Tannhäuser, and Tristan and Isolde. Wagner was concerned throughout his career with the theme of redemption through love and with presenting what he called 'total artworks', where music, poetry, and drama were uniquely combined into a single performance.

#Neuschwanstein #Castle shot from #Marienbrücke - Recap from last week.. . . #Schloss Neuschwanstein is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged #Hill above the #Village of #Hohenschwangau near #Füssen in southwest Bavaria. The #Palace was commissioned by #King #LudwigII of Bavaria as a retreat and in honour of #RichardWagner. Construction began in 1869, but was never fully completed. . The castle was intended as a private residence for the King, until he died in 1886. It was open to the public shortly after his death. Since then more than 70 million people have visited Neuschwanstein Castle. More than 1.5 million people visit annually. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #IGersGermany #IG_Germany #BlueSky #Clouds #Summer #Sunshine #König #KönigLudwig #Woods #Forrest #Landmark #History #Romantic #Romanticism #Heritage #WorldHeritage #Palace #Bavaria #Germany (hier: Schloss Neuschwanstein) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjL-tRXoBKY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It’s day 5 of the #spinthroughspringchallenge by @talesofvinyl: Lengthening Days - A Really Long Album, Or One That Feels Long To You. Hans Knappertsbusch and the Bayreuther Festspiele - Richard Wagner: Parsifal (Philips, 1962/7?) Four hours and 15 minutes of pure beauty, Wagner’s last opera is an incredible excursion into religious and Arthurian themes. Conceived as something more than an entertainment, for over 20 years after its 1882 debut it was performed nowhere else than at Bayreuth, Wagner’s custom-built concert hall. The Met Opera broke the prohibition in 1903 and I was able to see it there about 90 years later, with Placido Domingo. A sublime experience. As for this vinyl copy, I’m frankly unsure why I even have it since CDs are far more ideal a medium to listen to a work of this length and I have five performances on CD, including this one! Streaming might be even better considering there are even fewer interruptions, but you don’t get the libretto and other texts they include with a physical release. It’s not worth much and I’m not going to just throw it out, so here it sits. #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #aprilvinylchallenge #vinylgeek #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #records #vinylchallenge #vinylcommunity #opera #richardwagner @philips https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb_HbegALT7/?utm_medium=tumblr
In our journey through life, we often encounter moments that challenge our happiness. Whether it’s stress at work, difficulties in relationships, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, finding joy can sometimes feel like an elusive goal. However, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there are simple yet powerful reminders that can uplift our spirits and bring joy back into our…
Richard Wagner (1813-1883) était un compositeur allemand de musique romantique, surtout connu pour ses opéras épiques tels que L'Anneau du Nibelung, Tannhäuser et Tristan et Isolde. Tout au long de sa carrière, Wagner s'est intéressé au thème de la rédemption par l'amour et à la présentation de ce qu'il appelait des "œuvres d'art totales", où la musique, la poésie et le théâtre étaient combinés de manière unique en un seul spectacle.
One day later, but here is my tribute to composer Richard Wagner, who was born 210 years ago! (22 May 1813 - 13 February 1883)
"Im wunderschönen Monat Mai Kroch Richard Wagner aus dem Ei. Ihm wünschen, die zumeist ihn lieben, Er wäre besser drin geblieben." (In the beautiful month of May, Richard Wagner scrambled out of the egg. Those who mostly love him wish he'd stayed in better.)
Richard Wagner wrote this "best wishes" for himself in 1848 (his 35th anniversary).
Highlighted here, Birgit Nilsson sings the famous "Love-Dead" aria (Mild und Leise) from Tristan und Isolde (1865).
