Angel of Peace
Following Siegfried Wagner's death in August 1930, a memorial concert was held in the Festspielhaus. The concert programme was framed by two pieces by Richard Wagner that commemorated Siegfried's birth and death; the opening piece, the Siegfried Idyll, conducted by Arturo Toscanini, and to close, Siegfried's Funeral March' from Götterdämmerung, conducted by Muck. The centrepiece of the concert was conducted by Elmendorff, and commemorated Siegfried's own 'modest genius' with excerpts from his operas including the overture to "Angel of Peace" and 'Faith' from "Heathen King".
