Produktbeschreibung

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 "Freischütz," 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.
