Melodies from Die Walküre

  • hace 3 meses
Alfred Grunfeld plays solo piano.

He strings together wonderful melodies from Die Walküre, a great opera by Richard Wagner.

The opera wasn't meant for solo piano--after all, Wagner was a master of the full orchestra, horns especially.

But this musician makes the music come alive on the keyboard. It's the kind of thing Glenn Gould would do in the 1960s with Wagner's music.

Alfred Grünfeld was born in 1852 in Prague.

He died in 1924 in Vienna.
