About this product
Although Wagner himself made it quite clear to King Ludwig II of Bavaria that the Flying Dutchman was among those works of his deemed fit to be performed in Bayreuth, the InchRomantic Opera in three ActsInch was not staged there till 1901, as the last of those ten. 1959 was a special year in InchNew BayreuthInch by producing the earliest, Wieland Wagner had now presented all ten works under his own direction, in the first InchRing-freeInch year since the 1951 reopening - an abomination to hard-bitten old-school Wagnerians, for whom only the Ring and Parsifal genuinely belonged on the Inchgreen hillInch of Bayreuth. There was once again heated discussion over the guiding principles governing the presentation of the festival - as reported, along with much else, in the well-informed and lively booklet note by Peter Emmerich. But Wieland confounded and convinced his critics with a rediscovery of his directorial idiom, described by him as Inchmagic realism.Inch Musical success was achieved on the grand scale by the brilliant exponents of Senta and the Dutchman- and by the musically modern slim-line conductor, who had made his Bayreuth debut not long before in the new production of Tristan. Leonie Rysanek, whose singing gave vivid meaning to all the drama's emotional aspects, also had the figure for the part- in her own words, she was the Inchslimmest Senta in the world.Inch With his powerful voice and darkly glowing male timbre, the inimitably elegant and empathetic George London remains without peer on this recording as elsewhere. Just as convincingly cast in it's other roles, the work soon established itself in this second InchNew BayreuthInch staging even in it's spiritual home. We would make a special point of observing that this historic audio document was captured not at the premiere performance, but during a second live recording on August 5, 1959.

![Eric Lu - Schubert: The Impromptus Opp. 90 & 142 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/87f0de42-14de-4674-b72a-ce5281c3f3ae.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Produced during the astonishingly fruitful year before the composer's death aged 31, the Impromptus are short, lyrical miniatures of contrasting mood and character which create a musical narrative whose imaginative reach transports the listener far beyond the 19th-century drawing room. They have been core components of Eric Lu's repertoire for several years, but the pianist decided to wait before recording them. InchI have a real sense of a journey with these works, in particular with Op.90, having lived with them intensely in preparation, on stage and, finally, in the recording studio,Inch he says. InchFor me, the Impromptus are some of the greatest jewels in the piano literature. They are magnificent, deep pieces of music, and the very essence of Schubert.Inch

This live recording of Richard Wagner's Der fliegende Hollander was made at the 2013 Beyreuth Fetival. This performance of Wagner's opera, which tells the story of Daland, a Norwegian sea captain who just before reaching home is blown off course by a violent storm, received glowing reviews from the press. InchThe excellent Mr. Youn... sings with dignity touched with anguish... Merbeth... brings a big, penetrating voice to the role... Selig is a powerhouse Daland... Bruns brings an ardent voice and impetuosity to the Steersman... Thielemann... drew pulsing, dynamic and transparent playing from the... Orchestra... The result was music making of overwhelming naturalness.Inch (The New York Times) Inch... one revels in Christian Thielemann's masterly handling of the Overture's tempo modifications and thereafter, the lustrous sonorities that support the singers in this single-act version of the opera.Inch (Gramophone) InchChristian Thielemann and das Festspielorchester received the biggest cheers, and rightly so their account- thrillingly intense and demonic, while respecting of the sweeter passages- was superlative.Inch (The Financial Times).
