He covers some familiar recital territory--"die First ist um" from Der fliegende Hollander, "O du, mein holder Abendstern" from Tannhauser and Wotan's "Abschied" from Die Walkure--as well as tracts usually left to complete recordings: two long Amfortas laments from parsifal Acts I and III and the Wanderer's final dismissal of Erda at the outset of Act III of Siegfried. The famously sensual prelude to Tristan must be Wagner's best-known piece of eroticism, but we forget Tannhauser at our peril. With his reputation as formidable among warriors and irresistible to women, Tannhauser reaches Carla la Penaultier, a French noblewoman who hires him to seek the illegitimate son she gave up at birth, living somewhere in Malta. |
