Text Appearing Before Image:
GADSKI AS ELIZABE I Overture—Part I\Overture—Part II By La Scala OrchestraBy La Scala Orchestra 68205 12-inch, 1.25 This overture, with its sombre opening chorus, its weird music of the Venus Mount,and the final return of the penitents, when the chant is accompanied by a striking variationfor clarinets, is one of the greatest works of Wagner. It has become quite familiar by itsfrequent repetitions in orchestra and military band concerts, and no concert piece is moreadmired. The overture depicts the struggle between good and evil, and as Liszt has said, is apoem on the same subject as the opera and equally comprehensive. The sombre religious motive appears first: *m r r r rr=r. sL SE ff beginning softly and gradually swelling to a fortissimo. Then, as it is dying away, it is sud-denly interrupted by the Venusberg motive: *UfrfH>*&g«
Text Appearing After Image:
with its rising tide of sensual sounds. This motive continues with terrible persistence, lead-ing into Tannhausers hymn to Venus, after which the enchanting Venus motive returns andis developed with various changes. The tide now changes again and the majestic pilgrimtheme predominates, finally reaching a climax in the final hymn of triumph. •480 VICTROLA BOOK OF THE OPERA — WAGNERS TANNHAUSER
