TRISTAN UND MATHILDE Inspiration – Werk – Rezeption
TRISTAN UND MATHILDE Inspiration – Werk – Rezeption Sonderausstellung 29. 11. 2014 bis 11. 01. 2015 Stadtschloss Eisenach 2 / 3 Nicolaus J. Oesterlein (1841–1898), Sammler und Initiator der Sammlung DIE EISENACHER RICHARD-WAGNER-SAMMLUNG In der Reuter-Villa am Fuße der Wartburg schlummern manch vergessene Schätze: Das Abbild einer römischen Villa beherbergt die zweitgrößte Richard-Wagner-Sammlung der Welt. Den Grundstein hierfür legte der glühende Wagner-Verehrer Nicolaus J. Oesterlein (1841–1898) mit einer akribisch angelegten Sammlung von ca. 25.000 Objekten – darunter etwa 200 Handschriften und Originalbriefe Wagners, 700 Theaterzettel, 1000 Graphiken und Fotos, 15.000 Zeitungsausschnitte, handgeschriebene Partituren. Das Herzstück der Sammlung ist eine über 5.500 Bücher umfassende Bibliothek, die neben sämtlichen Wer- ken des Komponisten den fast lückenlosen Bestand der Wagner-Sekundärliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts enthält. Das Archivmaterial stellt nicht nur einen umfassenden Zugang zu Wagners kompositori- schem und literarischem Schaffen dar, sondern ebenso zu musikästhetischen, philoso- phischen, kulturgeschichtlichen und soziopolitischen Kontroversen des späten 19. Jahr- hunderts. Oesterleins Sammlung kann somit als ein Spiegelbild der Wagner-Rezeption gedeutet werden. Die Sonderausstellung »Tristan und Mathilde. Inspiration – Werk – Rezeption« rückt einige der exquisiten Exemplare aus der Sammlung erstmals wieder in die Öffentlichkeit, die auf diese Weise mit diesem unschätzbaren Kulturgut konfrontiert werden soll. Wie die Sammlung nach Eisenach kam In den 1870er Jahren begann Nicolaus J. Oesterlein mit einem enormen finanziellen Auf- wand und einer fast manischen Akribie alles zu sammeln, was mit dem Komponisten in Verbindung stand. 1887 eröffnete Oesterlein ein Privatmuseum in Wien – in den 1890er Jahren brachte er seinen vierbändigen Katalog heraus. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt umfasste seine Sammlung – nach eigenen Angaben – ca. -
Simon O'neill ONZM
Simon O’Neill ONZM Tenor “Simon O'Neill made a tremendous debut in the title-role, giving notice that he is the best heroic tenor to emerge over the last decade.” Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph, UK. A native of New Zealand, Simon O’Neill is one of the finest helden-tenors on the international stage. He has frequently performed with the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Berlin, Hamburg and Bayerische Staatsopern, Teatro alla Scala and the Bayreuth, Salzburg, Edinburgh and BBC Proms Festivals, appearing with a number of illustrious conductors including Daniel Barenboim, Sir Simon Rattle, James Levine, Riccardo Muti, Valery Gergiev, Sir Antonio Pappano, Pietari Inkinen, Pierre Boulez, Sir Mark Elder, Sir Colin Davis, Simone Young, Edo de Waart, Fabio Luisi, Donald Runnicles, Sir Simon Rattle, Jaap Van Zweden and Christian Thielemann.

Brahms, Mathilde Wesendonck, and the Would-Be “Cremation Cantata”
Volume XXX, Number 2 Fall 2012 Brahms, Mathilde Wesendonck, and the Would-Be “Cremation Cantata” Mathilde Wesendonck (1828–1902) is best known to music historians not for her poetic and dramatic writings, but for her romantic entanglement with and artistic influence on Richard Wagner in the 1850s. In early 1852, Wagner met Mathilde and her husband Otto Wesendonck in Zurich, having fled there in search of asylum from the German authorities, who held a warrant for the composer’s arrest due to his involvement in the revolutionary activities at Dresden in 1848. Otto, a silk merchant, became a patron of Wagner, and in April 1857 the Wesendoncks began to shelter the composer and his wife Minna in a small cottage alongside their own villa in Zurich; Wagner called the cottage his “Asyl.” It was during this time that a love affair apparently evolved between Mathilde and Richard, although it was not necessarily consummated. Not surprisingly, this arrangement proved unsustainable. Minna confronted her husband about the affair in April 1858, and Wagner soon departed his Asyl permanently, heading to Venice; the affair with Mathilde was over, and his marriage would never recover.1 Although Wagner and Mathilde Wesendonck remained in touch, the Wesendoncks would turn down Wagner’s request Mathilde Wesendonck, sketch by Franz von Lenbach for a loan in 1863, and within another year, he was no longer welcome in their home.2 The relationship, however, had left its attitude toward Brahms in the mid-to-late 1860s may have been mark on his work: it is generally recognized as an inspiration influenced by the shift in Mathilde’s loyalties.4 for Tristan und Isolde (1857–59), and Wagner had set some of A relatively little-known oddity is the collection of poetic Mathilde’s poetry as his Wesendonck Lieder (1857–58); earlier, texts that Mathilde composed and sent to Brahms in 1874 in the he had dedicated to her his Sonate für das Album von Frau M. -
4 Wagner Takes the Stage
90 Bayan Northcott: The Way We Listen Now 4 Wagner Takes the Stage Richard Wagner once told Franz Liszt that, whatever his passions demanded of him, he became for the time being – musician, poet, director, author, lecturer or anything else. In fact, that ‘anything else’ ranged from journalist, theatrical reformer and cultural ideologue to proselytizing vegetarian, revolutionary activist and virulent anti-Semite – a range of concerns that, under the guise of Wagnerism, exerted a vast influence over the cultural life of Europe for decades after his death. No wonder that a survey by Barry Millington concluded: ‘We cannot understand Wagner’s music fully without understanding him and his era.’1 And yet, after a century in which generations of biographers, musicologists and cultural historians have toiled to do just that, we might wonder whether we are really much closer to grasping Wagner himself in all his contradictions. Meanwhile, his greatest works have continued to move, challenge, disturb or delight audiences far removed in time, place and culture from Wagner’s own – suggesting that they substantially transcended the assumptions and limits of their time. We call works that do this ‘classics’ and, among his many other aims, Wagner certainly aspired to create a classic art. Maybe we have a better chance of defining his achievement by asking, not what he meant then, but what he still means now. Admittedly, the works of Romantic artists are supposed to be inseparable from their lives – think of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique (1830). Yet Wagner possessed a remarkable ability to block out his personal circumstances, to give his all to his chosen dramatic, symbolic or mythological material. -

As the granddaughter of holocaust survivors, some may struggle with my collaboration. I believe that Wagner’s compositions transcend borders, governments, religions and ideologies, time and space. Wagner the man had his flaws and his darkness within the environment in which he lived, but he was also capable of channelling something ethereal and heavenly through his art. His music brings us through the darkness and into the light, a light which we hope to share with you in this recording. I trained in the Italian tradition of Bel Canto, an era that influenced Wagner greatly. -
