Anna Netrebko – Wagner: Lohengrin, Act I, Scene 2: “Einsam in trüben Tagen“ (Semperoper Dresden)

Like this video? Subscribe here – The Best Of Classical Music: Lohengrin emerged here as a work of revolutionary freshness. It did so by paying full attention to the score’s rich details, exchanging the usual Wagnerian default setting of loud and louder still for a bel canto interpretation shot through with spine-tingling dynamic contrasts and expressive subtlety. Anna Netrebko thought she would have to sing with full voice and more to make it through Lohengrin. “That’s what I expected with Wagner,” she recalls. “At first I sang everything quite loud. I thought: ‘It’s Wagner – it has to be loud!’ But when I came to rehearse, Maestro Thielemann had the orchestra play so softly I could hear almost nothing and could sing even quieter than I would in, say, Bellini or Donizetti.” Explore the diversity of classical music: Subscribe here – The Best Of Classical Music: Piotr Beczala (Lohengrin) Anna Netrebko (Elsa von Brabant) Tomasz Konieczny (Friedrich von Telramund) Evelyn Herlitzius (Ortrud) Georg Zeppenfeld (Heinrich der Vogler) Derek Welton (Der Heerrufer des Königs) Sächsischer Staatsopernchor Dresden Staatskapelle Dresden Christian Thielemann May 2016 ___ Find Deutsche Grammophon Online Homepage: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Newsletter: ___ 最高のクラシック音楽―登録はこちら: 最优质古典音乐 – 此处订阅: Лучшая Классическая Музыка - Подписаться: La mejor música clásica - Suscríbase aquí: Le meilleur de la musique classique.
