Wagner og Bruckner
Richard Wagner skapte et veiskille i musikkhistorien med sine operaer og ble et idol for Anton Bruckner og mange andre komponister. Ingo Metzmacher dirigerer orkestermusikk fra Wagners opera Parsifal og Bruckners Symfoni nr. 7.

Richard Wagner (1813–1883) slo gjennom med operaen Den flyvende hollender i 1843. I de neste tiårene revolusjonerte han operasjangeren og ble en av 1800-tallets mest innflytelsesrike kunstnere uansett kunstform. Ideen til Parsifal skal ha oppstått i 1857, men det tok 25 år før den ble ferdig, og det ble Wagners siste opera. Han skrev selv librettoen basert på middelalderlegendene om Den hellige gral. På programmet står Forspill til første akt og Langfredagsmusikk fra tredje akt.

Anton Bruckner (1824–1896) oppdaget musikken til Richard Wagner på 1860-tallet, og den elleve år eldre komponisten skulle bli hans store forbilde. Bruckner skrev sine første symfonier i Wien, og de ble til dels hardt kritisert – Wagners musikk hadde skapt harde fronter i byen. Bruckner valgte derfor i 1884 å legge urfremførelsen av sin Symfoni nr. 7 til Leipzig. Der ble den en stor suksess og et gjennombrudd for komponisten. Andresatsen er en hyllest til Wagner, som døde i 1883. Symfoni nr. 7 har siden vært et av Bruckners mest populære verk.

Wagner and Bruckner
Richard Wagner created a crossroads in music history with his operas and became an idol for Anton Bruckner and many other composers. Ingo Metzmacher conducts orchestral music from Wagner's opera Parsifal and Bruckner's Symphony No. 7.

Richard Wagner (1813–1883) had his breakthrough with the opera The Flying Dutchman in 1843. In the following decades, he revolutionized the opera genre and became one of the 19th century's most influential artists in any art form. The idea for Parsifal must have arisen in 1857, but it took 25 years to finish, and it was Wagner's last opera. He himself wrote the libretto based on the medieval legends of the Holy Grail. The program includes Prelude to the first act and Good Friday Music from the third act.

Anton Bruckner (1824–1896) discovered the music of Richard Wagner in the 1860s, and the eleven years older composer was to become his great role model. Bruckner wrote his first symphonies in Vienna, and they were sometimes harshly criticized - Wagner's music had created hard lines in the city. Bruckner, therefore, chose in 1884 to premiere his Symphony No. 7 in Leipzig. There it was a great success and a breakthrough for the composer. The second movement is a tribute to Wagner, who died in 1883. Symphony No. 7 has since been one of Bruckner's most popular works.
