Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Wagner Caroline Bettelheim; Daland, Karl Mayerhofer; Erik, Gustav Walter. John Nepomuk Beck sang the Plying Dutchman, and the conductor was Heinrich Esser. In the yea 1862, after engagements in Pressburg and Dantzic, I myself became a member of the Royal Opera Company in Vienna, and this very year Richard Wagner began his career in that city. He was presenting his "Tristan," which after forty-seven preliminary rehearsals was finally set aside as utterly impracticable for the stage! At the same time, however, he was striving to interest the Viennese in his works by giving those wonderful con certs in their great theatre. He then lived at the Hotel Kaiserin Elizabeth, and as my rooms were in that same quarter, it often chanced that I met him on the street going to and from rehearsals, - generally talking to him self, and usually flourishing his great red bandanna The Masters hair was brown in those days, and he invariably wore a high silk hat and a long frock coat - never by any chance buttoned up. His presence brought life and swing into the artist world of Vienna, and the question of the hour was, "Do we, or do we not, approve of these innovations?" I myself - together with most of the younger musicians - was a most enthusiastic partisan of the Master, and took a gleeful share in his triumphs at those concerts. The greatest of these, perhaps, was the Tausig Concert, which took place in the huge "Redouten Saal," - Wagner him self conducting. It opened with the Overture to "Freischutz," and before its finish, the audience broke exit in uncontrollable enthusiasm. Even the Master himself seemed satisfied with this performance and at its close called up Richard Levy, the leader of the horns, with whom he had worked untiringly at the rehearsals and whom he now publicly embraced for his magnificent playing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that Richard Wagner, the renowned and controversial 19th century composer, exhibited intense anti-Semitism. The evidence is everywhere in his writings as well as in conversations his second wife recorded in her diaries. In his infamous essay "Judaism in Music," Wagner forever cemented his unpleasant reputation with his assertion that Jews were incapable of either creating or appreciating great art. Wagner's close ties with many talented Jews, then, are surprising. Most writers have dismissed these connections as cynical manipulations and rank hypocrisy. Examination of the original sources, however, reveals something different: unmistakeable, undeniable empathy and friendship between Wagner and the Jews in his life. Indeed, the composer had warm relationships with numerous individual Jews. Two of them resided frequently over extended periods in his home. One of these, the rabbi's son Hermann Levi, conducted Wagner's final opera--Parsifal, based on Christian legend--at Wagner's request; no one, Wagner declared, understood his work so well. Even in death his Jewish friends were by his side; two were among his twelve pallbearers. The contradictions between Wagner's antipathy toward the amorphous entity "The Jews" and his genuine friendships with individual Jews are the subject of this book. Drawing on extensive sources in both German and English, including Wagner's autobiography and diary and the diaries of his second wife, this comprehensive treatment of Wagner's anti-Semitism is the first to place it in perspective with his life and work. Included in the text are portions of unpublished letters exchanged between Wagner and Hermann Levi. Altogether, the book reveals astonishing complexities in a man long known as much for his prejudice as for his epic contributions to opera.

Book excerpt: "Here is a life of Wagner told by those who rubbed shoulders with him in the course of his turbulent and turpitudinous three score years and ten. Few composers have led such eventful lives or excited such violent views. No one could be indifferent to Wagner, and his contemporaries were not slow to record their impressions of a man they either idolized or demonized. This is the story of how they remembered Wagner and how they wanted posterity to remember him. But it is also the story of his life told with immediacy, wit, affection and awe, all qualities that have largely been lost from later accounts of Wagner."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
