Episode 2 of 4

With Katie Derham. Wagner: Faust Overture; Die Walkure (Act 1). Sibelius: The Swan of Tuonela. Berlioz: Overture (Beatrice et Benedict). Schoenberg: Pelleas und Melisande.

Wagner 200: in the week of Wagner's anniversary, Katie Derham presents Act 1 of Die Walk眉re conducted by the leading Wagner conductor Donald Runnicles. Wagner's influence on other composers is explored with music by his rival Berlioz and his follower Humperdinck. And there's a lush symphonic poem by the young Schoenberg who was at that stage awash with the music of Richard Wagner.
