Elective Affinities: Parsifal Wagner, Richard (+2 More)

Some programmes tell a story. This evening’s programme, though seemingly coincidental given its fundamental anti-Semitism, draws connections between Wagner and Mendelssohn. Both composers used the same seven mystical chords of the Dresden Amen, employed in religious services in Saxony by both Protestants and Catholics. Mendelssohn skillfully weaves them into his Symphony of the 'Reformation' composed for the 300th anniversary of the Augsbourg Confession, while Wagner adopts them as a leitmotif in Parsifal, his last opera, starting from the marvelous Prelude. Liszt, a close friend of both composers, delighted virtuosos with his Piano Concert No. 1 since its début in 1855. Its impactful martial theme instantly resonates in our ears, and the introduction of the triangle, a novelty in orchestras at that time, does not go unnoticed!

English

Certains programmes racontent une histoire. C’est le cas de celui de ce soir qui relie, certainement fortuitement vu son antisémitisme fondamental, Wagner à Mendelssohn. Tous deux ont en effet utilisé les mêmes sept accords mystiques de l’Amen de Dresde utilisé lors des services religieux en Saxe aussi bien par les protestants que par les catholiques. Mendelssohn les glisse habilement dans sa Symphonie de la 'Réformation' composée pour les 300 ans de la Confession d’Augsbourg alors que Wagner les utilise à son tour comme leitmotiv de Parsifal, son dernier opéra, dès le merveilleux Prélude. Quant à Liszt, il fut l’ami proche des deux compositeurs. Son Concerto pour piano N° 1 fait le bonheur des virtuoses depuis sa création en 1855. Son premier thème martial reste aussitôt dans les oreilles et l’apparition, pour la première fois dans un orchestre, du triangle ne passe pas inaperçu !
