Still in the aftermath of Tristan. Dying is inherent to opera. We get used to it, but the way Tristan takes his time here (almost the entire third act) continues to capture the imagination and stir the senses. Jon Vickers tackles Tristan's fever dream with harrowing intensity here.

After Giulio Cesare yesterday at the Concertgebouw (more than three hours of arias), today it's time for Tristan und Isolde, more than three hours without arias. Wagner. Live. Wonderful.

An opera by Olga Neuwirth & Elfriede Jelinek, staged by Tobias Kratzer. The story involves a King-President obsessed with shit (modelled on Donald Trump) who battles a monster named Gorgonzilla while two vampires comment on the action. This a severe case of FMO!

In DIE SOLDATEN, Bernd Zimmermann encapsulates his idea of Total Theatre in an opera in which time collides. Past, present, and future coexist simultaneously, reflecting the way memory, trauma, and anticipation shape human experience. One of the most moving & fascinating operas of the 20th century.

Combining clean vocals with grunts is not unique in metal, but Tatiana Shmayluk is in a class of her own. With her, the two voice types really are two different personalities. Like hearing two different singers. The Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde of metal land.

With Richard Wagner, you can look ahead to the future. To the music that came after him (film music, heavy metal). With Pygmalion's arrangements of Wagner's music, you look back to the music that came before him. As if Thomas Tallis were paying a visit to Das Rheingold.

The Great Satan by TRIVAX (founded in Iran, now based in England) is black metal complemented by an oriental sound palette. With lyrics (in English, Arabic & Farsi) that leave no room for misunderstanding. (The Great Satan is ayatollah Khomeini)

On the day that bears his name (Wednesday = day of Wotan) this blast of the past has Friedrich Schorr singing a most moving and heroic Wotan's Farewell.💥 An excellent performance in good sound (especially given the date of recording).

Siegfried Act 1 is hugely underrated - it’s a great example of a composer reaching the epitome of an early style, the perfection of which demands a left turn to follow. See also Le Nozze Di Figaro, Beethoven’s 3rd, OK Computer.

"Siegfrieds Trauermarsch" paired with a clip from Fritz Lang's Die Nibelungen. Not as Lang intended it, he did not like Wagner, hated him even, but for those who like opera, Wagner and German expressionism from the 1920s there is a lot to enjoy here.

"I’ve found that the most emotional composers, Mahler and Wagner, are the most fantastic architects. The balance of large-scale structure and the emotional world that is brought forth from that is what draws me to both the operas of Wagner and the symphonies of Mahler." - Pierre Boulez

10 years ago Pierre Boulez died. Music that demonstrates that true heaviness is best achieved by the sum of its parts, rather than by emphasising a single component.

METROPOLIS, Fritz Lang's depiction of 2026. A movie that shows that, despite all later technical developments, movie as an art-form has not changed significantly across the years and that its peak, reached back in the 1920s, is in many respects unsurpassed until this day.

It's not every year that we see a complete Wagner opera released so gratitude is in order. This is very much Senta's Holländer, with an outstanding Lisa Davidsen. Gerald Finlay is less the thunderbolt I like to hear in the title role but he compensates for that with a beautiful interpretative skill.
