Why Hitler adored Richard Wagner
For years, Hitler was a star guest at the Bayreuth Festival, the consecration site par excellence for Wagner's operas. The dictator saw himself as a Wagnerian and basically became a part of the Wagner family, which managed the composer's legacy. He even interfered in the organization of the festival, helping to decide on the program and staging. The cult of Richard Wagner, who had died 50 years before Hitler came to power, was politically fueled by Hitler's presence. Wagner's music, in turn, fueled Hitler's delusions of grandeur. But how did Hitler come to idolize Wagner? Was it simply because of Wagner's anti-Semitism, which he gave free rein to in his infamous pamphlet "On Judaism in Music"? Was it the Germanic heroic sagas that Wagner set to music and that Hitler was able to exploit for...

Global Wagner – From Bayreuth to the World
‘Great cinema! Highly recommended!’ (NDR Kultur)
‘A film that dispels prejudices’ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
‘The whole mad world of the Wagnerians’ (Die Welt)
Global Wagner – From Bayreuth to the World is not a biography of Richard Wagner, nor is it a musicological analysis of his work. This is a documentary dedicated solely to the world’s fascination with the man, and an exploration of the question as to how such massive hype and world-wide cult following developed around this highly controversial artist. The film is a revealing feature-length study of life with Wagner’s legacy from one Bayreuth Festival to the next, and we travel the world to meet devoted Wagnerians and those most intimately involved in commenting on and producing his work today.

‘Winterstürme wichen dem Wonnemond’ – DIE WALKÜRE Wagner – Longborough Festival Opera
Richard Wagner's famous aria for tenor 'Winterstürme wichen dem Wonnemond' from the opera ‘Die Walküre’ depicts the meeting between Brother Spring and Sister Love. In Longborough Festival Opera's semi-staged production under the baton of Anthony Negus, Siegmund (Peter Wedd) sings of the young couple's joy as they unite. The aria is a unique phenomenon in Wagner's later work and broke two taboos at once: the incest of sibling love and Sieglinde's adultery.

Tannhäuser Festival | Richard Wagner (1813-1883) | Alfred Bösendorfer
Noten erhältlich unter https://www.rundel.de/de/tannhaeuser_festival/a-1/7869
Richard Wagner wurde vor allem durch seine grandiosen, einzigartigen Bühnenwerke bekannt, in denen er als Komponist, Textdichter und Regisseur seinen allumfassenden, ganzheitlichen Bühnenstil entwickelte. Seine bekanntesten Opern sind „Rienzi“, „Der fliegende Holländer“, „Tannhäuser“, „Lohengrin“, „Der Ring des Nibelungen“, „Tristan und Isolde“, „Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ und „Parsifal“. Wagner war ein Freund von Bläserklängen und besetzte gerne große Bläsersätze in seinen Werken für Sinfonieorchester. Er komponierte auch reine Bläser- und Blasorchester-Werke, vor allem für Freiluft-Veranstaltungen. Doch zu seiner Zeit war diese Orchesterform noch nicht so ausgiebig und fein entwickelt wie heute.

For years, Hitler was a star guest at the Bayreuth Festival, the consecration site par excellence for Wagner's operas. The dictator saw himself as a Wagnerian and basically became a part of the Wagner family, which managed the composer's legacy. He even interfered in the organization of the festival, helping to decide on the program and staging. The cult of Richard Wagner, who had died 50 years before Hitler came to power, was politically fueled by Hitler's presence. Wagner's music, in turn, fueled Hitler's delusions of grandeur. But how did Hitler come to idolize Wagner? Was it simply because of Wagner's anti-Semitism, which he gave free rein to in his infamous pamphlet "On Judaism in Music"? Was it the Germanic heroic sagas that Wagner set to music and that Hitler was able to exploit for his ideology? Was it the pull of Wagner's music? With scholars and musicians, this episode of Arts Unveiled explores how Hitler's fervent admiration of Wagner turned his music into the soundtrack of National Socialism. And what Hitler's appropriation of Wagner means for the way we deal with his music today.
00:00 Intro: Why Hitler idolized Wagner
3:56 Reason 1: Hitler loved heroic tales
7:15 Reason 2: Hitler’s own dashed dreams of becoming an artist
8:28 Reason 3: Hitler and Wagner were both anti-semites
14:57 Reason 4: Wagner’s Bayreuth Festival energized Hitler
17:39 Reason 5: The Wagners were a surrogate family for Hitler
20:44 Reason 6: Wagner’s operas became the soundtrack of dictatorship
22:17 Reason 7: Wagner encouraged Hitler’s megalomania

Richard Wagner's famous aria for tenor 'Winterstürme wichen dem Wonnemond' from the opera ‘Die Walküre’ depicts the meeting between Brother Spring and Sister Love. In Longborough Festival Opera's semi-staged production under the baton of Anthony Negus, Siegmund (Peter Wedd) sings of the young couple's joy as they unite. The aria is a unique phenomenon in Wagner's later work and broke two taboos at once: the incest of sibling love and Sieglinde's adultery.

Noten erhältlich unter https://www.rundel.de/de/tannhaeuser_festival/a-1/7869
Richard Wagner wurde vor allem durch seine grandiosen, einzigartigen Bühnenwerke bekannt, in denen er als Komponist, Textdichter und Regisseur seinen allumfassenden, ganzheitlichen Bühnenstil entwickelte. Seine bekanntesten Opern sind „Rienzi“, „Der fliegende Holländer“, „Tannhäuser“, „Lohengrin“, „Der Ring des Nibelungen“, „Tristan und Isolde“, „Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ und „Parsifal“. Wagner war ein Freund von Bläserklängen und besetzte gerne große Bläsersätze in seinen Werken für Sinfonieorchester. Er komponierte auch reine Bläser- und Blasorchester-Werke, vor allem für Freiluft-Veranstaltungen. Doch zu seiner Zeit war diese Orchesterform noch nicht so ausgiebig und fein entwickelt wie heute. Die Bauweise der Instrumente, die Besetzung und die Klangfarben der damaligen Blasorchester sind nicht mit den heutigen vergleichbar. Da stellt sich die Frage: Wäre Wagner damals das heutige Blasorchester zur Verfügung gestanden – wie hätte er für diese Orchesterformation komponiert? Hätte er zum Beispiel Saxophone eingesetzt? Was hätte er alles mit den Schlaginstrumenten hervorgebracht? Hätte er die Klangfarben des heutigen Blasorchesters unter Umständen sogar denen des Sinfonieorchesters vorgezogen? Alfred Bösendorfer gibt mögliche Antworten auf diese Fragen in seinem Werk „Tannhäuser Festival“, das kein einfaches Mischmasch oder Potpourri aus den schönsten Melodien der verschiedenen Bühnenwerke Wagners ist. Bösendorfer hat auch nicht einfach nur einzelne Passagen aus der Oper aneinander gereiht. Stattdessen schuf er eine eigenständige Zusammenstellung mit einer durchdachten Logik. In der originalen Oper „Tannhäuser“ gibt es kaum musikalische Abschlüsse, sondern die Passagen gehen meist fließend ineinander über – in einer so genannten „unendlichen Melodie“, die ein typisches Element von Wagners Bühnenwerken ist. Bösendorfer setzte sich intensiv mit der Struktur der Oper auseinander, um abgerundete Teile zu schaffen, die er wiederum sinnvoll miteinander zu verbinden hatte. Eine knapp vierstündige Oper auf ein etwa zehnminütiges Konzertstück für Blasorchester zu komprimieren erfordert nicht nur eine genaue Auseinandersetzung mit dem musikalischen Material, sondern auch eine neue, konzentrierte Dramaturgie, um die Gesamtwirkung und die Authentizität des Werkes zu erhalten und das Publikum in einem Konzert nicht zu überfordern oder zu langweilen. Mit dem „Tannhäuser Festival“ interpretiert Alfred Bösendorfer die Musik Wagners für das Medium Blasorchester ganz neu und passt sie stilvoll an die Gegebenheiten dieser vielseitigen Besetzung an. Die dabei entstehenden Klangfarben hätte vermutlich auch Richard Wagner selbst so für das Blasorchester geschrieben.
