A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Therese Stilke-S essi of Vienna, who gave me my first introduction to the genius of Richard Wagner and fired me with an early enthusiasm for his new and wonderful style. This remarkable woman was training me for the stage and taught me among other things the part of Wolfram von Eschenbach in Tannhiiuser. I mention this particularly as in those years the early forties it was rare indeed to find a singer with this r61e in his repertoire, and managers then found it most difficult to cast this important part. Being young and impressionable, I soon became an ardent disciple of the Master, yet even I at this time, in spite of my devotion to the cause, found it utterly impossible one night to sit through an entire performance of The Flying Dutchman given at the Royal Opera in Vienna under exceptionally favourable circumstances. I frankly confess that I left, thoroughly bored with that long duet, at the close of the second act. I was then a mere boy of nineteen, however, and my judgment could hardly have been considered quite sound.
