Lenz Siegfried

Von Meer und Küste, Fluss und Hafen, Wracks und Tauchern und dem Glück, einen Fisch zu fangen. Die schönsten Meerestexte von Siegfried Lenz in einem Band versammelt, von Hanjo Kesting zusammengestellt.
Siegfried Lenz, der mit seinem Roman "Deutschstunde" Weltruhm erlangte, ist nicht nur einer der letzten großen Geschichtenerzähler, er ist auch ein Schriftsteller des Meeres. Strände, Häfen, Inseln, Küsten, Fjorde, große und kleine Schiffe und Wracks sind die Schauplätze seines Werks…

Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung) is one of the most remarkable achievements in all music, and Siegfried, the third in the cycle, contains some of the greatest moments in Wagner s entire output. Wagner conceived Siegfried as a heroic man of the future, and his fantastical tale is one in which the human dramas of treachery and violent struggles for power become magnified in a world of gods, dragons and magic. The previous opera in this cycle, Die Walkure, was acclaimed in The Guardian as thrillingly vivid… easily maintains the high standard and promise of Das Rheingold. (Naxos NBD0049).

Helmut Schmidt und Siegfried Lenz: Eine Freundschaft, die deutsche Zeit- und Literaturgeschichte ist.
Seit den frühen sechziger Jahren sind Helmut Schmidt und Siegfried Lenz befreundet. Der Politiker bewundert den Literaten, der Schriftsteller weiß um den begrenzten Einfluss der Literatur auf die Zeitläufte…

Christian e Stella sono usciti in mare con un dinghy, una piccola imbarcazione a vela perfetta per il vento forte e teso del Mare del Nord che increspa magnificamente quelle acque cristalline, e spazza chilometri e chilometri di maestose falesie e spiagge di sabbia finissima. Giunti sulla spiaggia dell'Isola degli uccelli, una minuscola striscia di terra in mezzo al mare su cui volteggiano come un turbine bianco centinaia di uccelli marini, i due giovani sono stati sorpresi da un'improvvisa tempesta di vento e pioggia…

Following the 2015 release of "The Rhinegold" – the Vorabend or „preliminary evening“ of Richard Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung" – and of "The Valkyrie" in 2019, BR-KLASSIK is now releasing "Siegfried" as the second day of the enthusiastically received tetralogy under Sir Simon Rattle - recorded live on February 3 and 5, 2023 at Munich's Isarphilharmonie im Gasteig. With "The Rheingold", Rattle had already decisively refuted the longstanding claim that he and Wagner were not a good match, and with "The Valkyrie", he dispelled any remaining doubts. His recent performance of “Siegfried” – with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and a first-class lineup of Wagner singers – proves yet again how well the conductor understands and is able to interpret Wagner's music. Now, just a few months after the live event, this powerful and immensely popular music drama has been released on three outstanding CDs.
