Richard Wagner / Douglas Victor Brown: RHEINGOLD-PHANTASMAGORIE (from "Men, Myths, Fairy Tales")
Channel: DeutscheOperBerlin
Date: 2020-11-13

Music from Richard Wagner's THE RHINEGOLD as well as intoned extracts from the composer's letters are condensed in the RHEINGOLD PHANTASMAGORY arranged by Douglas Victor Brown into narrative figures about the "pure triad" of the E-flat Major chord, about Philistine friends, the search for meaning, self-doubt and triumph: "Believe me, no one has ever composed like this before!“

Enjoy this Wagner homage for chamber ensemble and speaker – under the baton of Sir Donald Runnicles with Indira Koch, Esther Feustel (Violin), Yi-Te Yang (Viola), Margarethe Niebuhr (Cello), Katri-Maria Leponiemi (Double bass), Jochen Hoffmann (Flute), Markus Krusche (Clarinet), Iveta Hylasova-Bachmannova (Oboe), Vedat Okulmus (Bassoon), Pierre Azzuro (Horn), Maria Smirnova (Harp) and as speaker Jörg Schörner.

These recordings are taken from the concert film "Men, Myths, Fairy Tales", which had its online premiere on 22 June 2020 and is a cinematic approach to a planned chamber concert. Click here for the full film: https://youtu.be/BC3WHZSKx7w
