- Conducted by Emmanuel Krivine, the Orchestre National de France performs the "Siegfried-Idyll" by Richard Wagner. Excerpt of the concert recorded live on 23 May 2019 at Radio France.
Tristan und Isolde, a drama of love and death, was unquestionably linked to the passion that burned between Wagner and Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of his benefactor. The Siegfried-Idyll, "a symphonic homage for an anniversary" was written in secret, displaying an entirely different character: a musical gift given by Wagner to his second wife, Cosima, on 25 December 1870, for their 33rd wedding anniversary. Wagner met Liszt's daughter in 1857, a young girl in her early twenties and recently married to the conductor Hans von Bülow. It was not until 1864 that their amorous relationship began. Cosima left her husband in 1867 and married Wagner on 25 August 1870, having already given birth to three of his children, Isolde (1865), Eva (1867) and Siegfried (1869). Intertwining the threads of his existence and his music, Wagner composed an intimate work to celebrate the birthday of little "Fidi"'s mother (an affectionate surname for his young son) on Christmas day. The idyl was partly inspired by a quartet in E major, sketched in 1864 but soon discarded, leaving behind only its key for Wagner's latest idyl. Wagner also drew upon a lullaby composed in 1868, "Sleep, my child", now given to the oboe. But above all, the Siegfried-Idyll echoes the third act of Siegfried, finished by the composed in 1869 after having interrupted progress on his Ring Cycle in 1857. Several motifs are recognisable towards the end of the drama: Brunnhilde's Slumber, the Forest Bird, Siegfried's theme, and Peace on Earth. Amongst these various themes, it is that of Siegfried which, symbolically, grows progressively until the work's conclusion.

Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter le final. Un mouvement d'une douceur ineffable, d'un charme indescriptible...
The orchestration of this unusual work by Waner (he's ajways thinking in wideily complex works) is original: strigs, some woods and horns. Tries to make the effect of intime feeling. Some main themes wiith a light development are passing by. Even the clmax is liric. The counterpoint is light too. The main tone is E maggiore, with short modujations, (we are in the year 1869). The maggiore tonalites are winning. The work is a present by Wagner to his wife, in the anniversary of their child Siegfried. ❤
Beautiful with elegant playing and phrasing.
Hoch kultivierte und elegante Aufführung dieses typisch wagnerhaften Meisterwerks mit durchsichtigen Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit angenehmer Dynamik ohne überflüssige Romantik. Das ist auch Wagner!
Um concerto magistral!
One of Wagner's best work. Simple, elegant, and none of that boring Nordic mythology!
Sorry, there is nothing boring in Northern mythology. Mythology is always true.
Most of the music comes from the third act of the opera Siegfried. It is in the moment when she is rescued from the fire and gave greetiins to the light and to the sun (wonderfull passage), she says him not to touch her. She has into account that if a walkirie loos her purity, she will become a deadly one by using sex relactions.
Très belle interprétation, bravo au chef et à l'orchestre
Magnifique
BRAVO !!
Perfecta, perfecta increíblemente perfecta todo! He estado en el cielo y el paraíso oyendo el idilio!
I know that Wagner dedicated this to his son. He invited the entire ochestra to his home and, once everyone was there, they played the "idyll" from de balcony, second floor, for the kid.
No. He dedicated it to his wife Cosima. And it was played for the first time on her birthday at Wagner's home, while the orchestra menbers were seated on the staircase.
so fast. It loses all its beauty. Sorry but I have to stop it and listen another version. Really really bad.
