Friedrich Nietzsche's "Birth of Tragedy" delves into the dual artistic forces of the Apollonian, representing reason, and the Dionysian, embodying passion, as they manifest in Greek tragedy. Nietzsche explores how these elements shaped the evolution of Greek art, offering profound insights into the nature of creativity and expression. By applying his analysis to modern art, particularly the operas of Richard Wagner, he invites listeners to reflect on the interplay between structure and emotion in artistic endeavors. This exploration remains relevant today, as it challenges us to consider the balance between rationality and passion in our own lives and cultural expressions, making it an enduring work that resonates across time.

The Flying Dutchman, a German Romantic Opera by Richard Wagner, tells the haunting tale of a brig captained by Daland who seeks refuge from a storm in a Norwegian fjord, only to encounter the legendary phantom ship of the Flying Dutchman. This timeless story explores themes of fate, redemption, and the supernatural, resonating with audiences through its deep emotional currents and the struggle between human desires and the inexorable forces of destiny. The opera's rich character dynamics, particularly between Daland and his daughter Senta, highlight the enduring complexity of love and sacrifice. Wagner's masterful composition elevates this narrative, making it a captivating experience that continues to evoke wonder and reflection.

"Birth of Tragedy" by Friedrich Nietzsche delves into the artistic interplay between the Apollonian and Dionysian elements of Greek tragedy, exploring how reason and passion shaped this profound art form. Nietzsche's analysis not only illuminates the evolution of Greek tragedy but also offers critical insights into the state of modern art, particularly through the lens of Richard Wagner's operas. The themes of balance between rationality and emotion remain relevant today, inviting listeners to reflect on the duality present in contemporary artistic expressions. This timeless work challenges us to consider how these ancient concepts continue to influence our understanding of art and culture.

Bayreuthske slavnostne igre veljajo za enega najpomembnejših in najstarejših glasbenih festivalov na svetu. Prvi je potekal leta 1876, ko je nemški skladatelj, dramatik, pesnik, pisatelj, gledališki režiser in dirigent Richard Wagner (1813–1883) izpeljal zamisel o glasbenem festivalu, posvečenem izključno njegovim delom, in že takrat so izvedli njegov celotni Nibelungov prstan. Skladatelj je tako ustvaril prostor, kjer naj bi njegova glasbena dela zaživela natanko tako, kot si jih je zamislil, brez tedanjih opernih konvencij. Zato je v tem bavarskem mestu dal zgraditi posebno gledališče, Festspielhaus oziroma Festivalno dvorano, ki jo odlikujeta izjemna akustika in skriti orkestrski prostor. Pozneje je Bayreuth postal romarsko središče ljubiteljev Wagnerjeve glasbe z vsega sveta. Po skladateljevi smrti je umetniško vodstvo prevzela njegova družina, ki festival vodi še danes. Skozi zgodovino je festival doživel več prelomnic: prekinili sta ga obe svetovni vojni, leta 1951 pa sta ga prevzela Wagnerjeva vnuka Wieland in Wolfgang Wagner in ga temeljito prenovila. S sodobnimi, pogosto minimalističnimi režijami sta ustvarila tako imenovani Novi Bayreuth, ki je močno vplival na razvoj operne režije v drugi polovici 20. stoletja. Še več, z vrhunskimi glasbeniki in izjemnimi režiserji Bayreuth še vedno ostaja eno najvplivnejših opernih prizorišč na svetu. Skozi čas so na odru tamkajšnje Festivalne dvorane nastopile tudi številne legendarne pevke in pevci, pa seveda številni vplivni in pomembni dirigenti. Skratka, ta glasbeni festival je postal evropski kulturni fenomen. A kakšen dejanski pomen ima ta festival danes, kaj vse se je z njim dogajalo v preteklosti in koliko je z njim pridobila Wagnerjeva glasba – o tem ob njegovi 150-letnici v pogovoru. Gost je prof. dr. Gregor Pompe z Oddelka za muzikologijo ljubljanske Filozofske fakultete. Ob njem pa radijski kolega Dejan Juravić predstavi še zgodovino naših radijskih prenosov s tega festivala.

Er ist der umstrittenste Komponist überhaupt – Richard Wagner, glühend verehrt und heftig verabscheut. Und er hat eine braune Weste, obwohl die Nazis erst 50 Jahre nach seinem Tod an die Macht kamen: Hitlers Lieblingskomponist war er, und der »Führer« förderte die Bayreuther Festspiele kräftig. Die feiern in diesem Sommer ihren 150. Geburtstag mit Prominenz und Fans – und in der neuen Sachbuchfolge von »Was liest du gerade?« diskutieren Maja Beckers und Alexander Cammann das kritische Buch des Musikwissenschaftlers Anno Mungen über den Wagner-Kult in Deutschland 1933 bis 1945. Wie hat das NS-Regime Wagners Opern genutzt – und kann man ihn heute mit diesem Wissen noch unbefangen hören? Sommerzeit ist Reisezeit: Die Schriftstellerin Felicitas Hoppe ist die große Reisende unter den heutigen Erzählern. In dem schmalen Band »Reisen« erklärt sie, wie sie seit Jahrzehnten in der Welt unterwegs ist, obwohl sie eigentlich immer eine Stubenhockerin war. Wir erfahren, wie sie die Welt auf einem Containerschiff umrundet hat und warum die Erfahrungen beim Reisen wichtiger sind als das, was man dabei lernt. Ein Buch für unterwegs, mit dem man aber auch perfekt zu Hause bleiben kann. Dort befindet sich wahrscheinlich auch der perfekte Ort zum Lesen oder Podcasthören, um den diesmal unser Klassiker kreist: die Couchecke. Über dieses besondere Interiorstück, seine Entstehung und gesellschaftliche Bedeutung hat der Kunsthistoriker Martin Warnke 1979 einen klugen und amüsanten Essay geschrieben. Maja Beckers und Alexander Cammann fragen sich, ob man heute immer noch eine Couchecke in seinem Wohnzimmer haben muss.

De Richard Wagner qu'il vénérait, Adolf Hitler aura retenu l'antisémitisme viscéral et la musique ensorcelante dont il nourrira son idéologie mortifère.Au cœur de l'Autriche du début du 20e siècle, le jeune Adolf Hitler, âgé de 16 ans, assiste à une représentation de l'opéra Rienzi de Richard Wagner à l'Opéra de Linz. Cette soirée sera un véritable tournant dans la vie du futur Führer, marquant le début d'une passion dévorante pour la musique et l'œuvre du compositeur allemand.Franck Ferrand nous plonge dans ce moment charnière de l'histoire, alors que le jeune Hitler est saisi par la puissance de la musique de Wagner et la dimension mythologique de son opéra. Fasciné par le personnage de Rienzi, le tribun du peuple, Hitler y voit le reflet de ses propres ambitions et d'une mission qu'il s'est donnée : relever l'Allemagne et la conduire vers une grandeur nouvelle. Au-delà de cette révélation musicale, l'émission explore les liens complexes entre Hitler et la musique, et notamment son admiration pour d'autres compositeurs comme Beethoven, Bruckner ou Strauss. Mais elle montre aussi comment le dictateur a tenté d'instrumentaliser la musique à des fins de propagande, sans pour autant réussir à imposer ses propres choix.Avec son sens du récit et sa maîtrise des détails historiques, Franck Ferrand nous offre un éclairage fascinant sur la manière dont la passion d'Hitler pour la musique a façonné son idéologie et son projet politique

Im Musiksalon beleuchten wir jene Punkte des Geschehens, an denen die Handlung szenisch und/oder musikalisch entscheidende Impulse erhält, sich dreht oder verdichtet. Mit dem Gewittersturm am Beginn der „Walküre“ führt uns Wagner in die Menschenwelt, die von den mythischen Göttern und Dämonen beherrscht und geprägt wird. Wir erleben, wie sich das von Wotan gezeugte Zwillingspaar Siegmund und Sieglinde ineinander verliebt, wie „Göttermutter“ Fricka im Zorn ihren Gatten Wotan davon überzeugt, dass er damit eine rote Linie überschritten hat, die zum Untergang der Götter führen muss – und wie Wotan seine Lieblings-Walküre Brünnhilde, die er mit der alleswissenden Urmutter Erda gezeugt hat, davon abzubringen versucht, seinen eigenen Wunsch in die Tat umzusetzen – Brünnhilde aber folgt dem Gebot der Liebe und wird von ihrem Vater für diesen Ungehorsam bestraft; und doch begreifen wir: Am Ende wird das Herrschaftsgebäude, das auf Lug und Betrug gebaut ist, nicht standhalten. Die Musikbeispiele in Folge II liefert die erste Stereo-Gesamtaufnahme der „Walküre“, die 1961 unter Erich Leinsdorfs Leitung in London im Studio entstanden ist (RCA). Zu hören sind: Siegmund: Jon Vickers, Sieglinde: Gré Brouwenstijn, Wotan: George London, Brünnhilde: Birgit Nilsson und Fricka: Rita Gorr.

"Case of Wagner: Nietzsche Contra Wagner Selected Aphorisms" presents a provocative exploration of Friedrich Nietzsche's critical perspective on the music of Richard Wagner. In this collection, Nietzsche argues that Wagner's compositions embody a form of cultural degeneration, reflecting an unrefined and unintelligent approach that mirrors the decline of German society. The translator's detailed introduction enriches the text, offering listeners valuable context for Nietzsche's incisive critique. This work resonates today as it challenges us to consider the impact of art on culture and the standards we uphold, making it a timeless reflection on the interplay between creativity and societal values.

Über Jahrzehnte hinweg zählte sie zu den prägenden dramatischen Sopranen ihrer Generation. Die amerikanische Sopranistin Nadine Secunde eroberte die großen Opernhäuser der Welt mit den anspruchsvollsten Partien des deutschen Fachs und wurde insbesondere als Wagner- und Strauss-Interpretin gefeiert. Rollen wie Sieglinde, Brünnhilde, Isolde, Chrysothemis oder die Marschallin führten sie auf die bedeutendsten Bühnen Europas, Amerikas und Asiens, wo sie mit ihrer außergewöhnlichen Bühnenpräsenz und stimmlichen Intensität Publikum und Kritik gleichermaßen beeindruckte. Doch auch nach einer internationalen Karriere bleibt die Bühne für sie bis heute ein wichtiger Bestandteil ihres Lebens.

This week, Adrian and Moira are both traveling -- Adrian is finishing work on the newly titled Project 1933: Fascism Then and Now (available for preorder now). So, back by popular (?) demand (?), it's another Richard Wagner-focused episode of In Bed with the Right. Wagner's final opera, 1882's Parsifal, draws on the grail legends, various philosophers, Wagner's own aging process, and whatever the 19th century version of Buddhism for Dummies was. Come for the male suffering, stay for the syphilis-metaphors, the Best Little Whorehouse in Grailland, and the final split in the bromance known as Nietzgner (probably? We're talking about Nietzsche and Wagner).

Arthur Schopenhauer: The Life and Thought of Philosophy's Greatest Pessimist by David Bather Woods An engaging biography of one of the most influential Western philosophers and a thought-provoking exploration of how to live with Arthur Schopenhauer's pessimism.Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) almost wasn't one of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century. Born in the Free City of Danzig to a family of shipping merchants, he was destined for a life of imports and exports until his father died in a suspected suicide. After much deliberation, the young Schopenhauer invested his inheritance in himself and his philosophical vocation. But the long road to recognition was a difficult one, with Schopenhauer spending all but the last decade of his life in total obscurity. Yet his ideas and style went on to influence great thinkers, including Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Sigmund Freud, as well as artists such as the composer Richard Wagner and writers Marcel Proust, Thomas Mann, Samuel Beckett, and many more.A singular and remarkably influential thinker, Schopenhauer is usually described as an extreme pessimist. He questioned the purpose of existence in a world where pain and suffering are inescapable and happiness is all too brief. In this engaging philosophical biography, David Bather Woods reevaluates Schopenhauer's pessimism in the context of his life experiences, revealing the philosopher's relentless fascination with the world and making a case for his contemporary relevance. Bather Woods weaves together Schopenhauer's ideas with the story of how he came to be, including such topics as love, loneliness, morality, politics, gender, sexuality, death, suicide, fame, and madness. In doing so, this book answers some of life's most challenging questions about how to deal with pain and loss, and how to live with ourselves and each other.Despite his pessimistic outlook on human existence, Schopenhauer didn't give up on life. Rather, he recognized that the question of how to live becomes even more pressing, and he worked to provide an answer. Bather Woods shows how Schopenhauer's life informed his ideas and how they still resonate today. David Bather Woods is associate professor of philosophy at the University of Warwick. He is coeditor with Timothy Stoll of The Schopenhauerian Mind. He has contributed chapters to The Proustian Mind, Schopenhauer's Moral Philosophy, and The Palgrave Schopenhauer Handbook.
