Siegfried, LPO, Jurowski, RFH review - an incandescent journey to the mountain top
You knew you were in the best conducting hands from the first bars of the eerie opening - crabbed, devious dwarf Mime etched in tonally rootless bassoon thirds, given a colouristic twist by the introduction of the contrabassoon; comic-grotesque malignity from Lee Tsarmaklis's tuba, later the dragon in the forest; silky twists from the violas as they set up the Nibelung motif; and the most taut and elegant gestures from Jurowski, circular in movement as the cor anglas adds its voice (later he inscribed anti-clockwise circles for a phrase of Fafner's louring). His first act was especially nimble and fast in scherzo-mode, punctuated by the slow movement of Wotan's appearance as Wanderer to set Mime three questions, and answer three in Wagner's crafty method of re-telling key points in the plots of the previous two operas.

T. Kerl & M. Nagy(� Enrico Nawrath)
Sebastian Baumgarten�s installation-heavy production of Wagner�s �Romantic Opera� was heavily booed when it premiered last summer. But like many Bayreuth productions that were poorly received upon introduction, this one has been cleaned up, refined, and rather better received in its second outing. The concept remains a bleak one. Tannh�user is the legend of a man torn between two worlds: the realm of Venus, a place of sensual delight and pagan idolatry, and the realm of the Wartburg, a place of piety and virtue. In Baumgarten�s dystopian view, the Wartburg is a harsh and functiona
