About this product
Christian Thielemann writes InchI see Die Meistersinger as the pivot and central point of Wagner's entire oeuvre. On the one hand it is a reaction to Tristan; on the other, he had found himself in a blind alley with Siegfried, and together those two works showed him the way out of it. The fascinating thing about Die Meistersinger is that you can find everything in it. Hero and anti-hero, comedy and tragedy, upperclass and lower-class lovers, burlesque and reflection, the old and the new, in short a whole world. The magic words summing it up for me are 'atmosphere' and 'poetry'. How can I, as a conductor, make the music glitter in it's exaggerations and parodies, and at the same time lend it authority? Conversely, how can I make it's emotionalism sound not false but genuine, emphasizing the deeply felt popular note in the music? Wagner is fundamentally asking his interpreters to square the circle, which is what makes Die Meistersinger such a difficult work to perform. Perhaps it can succeed only by osmosis, if we open ourselves up entirely to all it's moods, colours and aromas, inhaling them so deeply that they naturally emerge from us again at the right moment.Inch

![Wagner / Hawlata / Ernst - Die Meistersinger Von Nurnberg - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/c7a056a7-63ad-4e24-9fb2-ef3c1f3012fc.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Ostensibly, Richard Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg tells a humorous tale about artistically inclined craftsmen. Goldsmith Veit Pogner promises his daughter Eva's hand in marriage to the winner of a song contest, to which three men are potentially eligible. But upon closer inspection, what is at first glance a harmless farce in a middle-class setting emerges as a profound social analysis. Wagner uses his protagonists to show how a community deals with tradition and those who break with it and just how much innovation and deviation from the norm it can tolerate - as well as to examine what value society places, and should place, on art. Inch'Meistersinger' that's on an entirely new Wagnerian scale... it is full of smart ideas and moments of effective theater.Inch (The Washington Post) Inch... as all stage productions should be, this is 200 per cent a Meistersinger to see.Inch (Gramophone) Inch[Volle's Beckmesser] is so consistently alert, so wary of traditional caricature, so mellifluous in sound, and so well acted that it is, in fact, almost plausible to see him as the opera's hero... Franz Hawlata is a refreshingly youthful Sachs (which makes the Sachs-Eva-Walther triangle more affecting)Inch (International Record Review) Inchthis production revolves around Beckmesser, and Michael Volle puts in an exceptional performance... I would urge even the sceptics to take this production seriously... A complex and troubling but also consummate and satisfying experience... it leaves a lasting impression.Inch (Classical Review)
