I do not remember any great composer whose child was also a great composer. It is a kind of unwritten law thar after a genius father follows a mediocre child. Siegfried Wagner may have been an exception, along with some of Bach’s many children, even if he has never got the recognition he probably deserved as a composer. He was taught as a child by his grandfather, Franz Liszt, and Engelbert Humperdinck was his teacher for years, not to mention that his father was always there… This piece seems to me much better than expected on a first hearing. Clement Harris was first introduced to Siegfried in 1889 and the immediately matched. They went on a long trip to Asia in 1892, and there is little doubt they became lovers. Siegfried left upon reaching Port Said in Egypt on the way back home, just in time to attend the rehearsals in Bayreuth. Harris was killed in the Greco-Turkish war, in 1897 at the age of 25. Siegfried always kept a picture of Harris on his desk, and many believe “Gluck” was dedicated to him. A bisexual throughout his life, Harris was probably Siegfried’s love of his life.
Bonito.. esta clara la influencia de su padre, sin embargo la expectativa seria de algun tipo de renovacion.. y eso no se encuentra (sera por eso que no se ha difundido tanto su obra?)
@@Fradiavolo1900 Is this swan one-way or return? In one staging of Lohengrin, the swan-boat was hauled away before the tenor could get on 'What times's the next swan?' he asked (this may be a Wagnerian urban legend). This is a good piece so far, not a copy of his dad though plainly influenced.
A most excellent work.
Such beauty..........what a wonderful find, thank you so much for uploading this.

My god is this anachronistic ! LOGHENGRIN still waiting for his return-swan?
Most of us are waiting for him - better anachronistic than ugly!

It was usual for this sort of music to be written up to the first decade of the 20th century. It was written only slightly later than that.
what is this picture's name?
Thomas Cole: "The Ages Of Life - Youth".
