Richard Wagner
The ride of the Valkyries, from Die Walküre

Richard Wagner is considered the master of German opera, and one of the most progressive composers in history.
The philosophical issues that Wagner considered vital to society were the tension between good and evil, between the physical and spiritual, and between selfishness and redemptive love.
Wagner is also one to the most controversial composers of our time, his music was breathtaking, his politics left many cold.

Der Ring des Nibelungen, (The Ring of the Nibelung), is a cycle of four epic music dramas by the German composer Richard Wagner.

  • Ich fühle mich wie Stanzen.

  • Nit picking a side... WOOOWWW!!!!...it moves you to battle and you feel the "CHARGE!!!" running in your blood stream!!!...My great great grand mother sang this Opera at the Met ridding her own Lipizzaner horses with several other great singers to standing ovations of the 1920 to 1930...Those were the days of grandeur and fabulous voices!!!!...

  • @Kabitu1 He was an antisemite? Well then, whoever this 'liogershon' guy is makes a decent observation. Artists, especially romanticist artists, pour their ideals into their work. At least, that is typical. That is not to say that A: this stuff is some sort of antisemite propoganda, or B: that his work is lesser for his beliefs. It should be considered, however, that we are glancing into the soul of this kind of human being. Hence the glory and relentlessness of the music. Perhaps I am wrong.

  • Daniel Bryan??

  • When I did my first helicopter skydive.....I was singing this...

  • @liorgershon I guess that loving anyone includes haters... then what is your problem. In such a fashion, music composure should be limited only to saints! (and not all of them either...) He was a great artist... and that's all folks... And if hated is necessary (NOT RASISM) to write a song, as long as it stays only a song I am OK... :P
