Tannhäuser

Album by Richard Wagner & René Kollo & Christa Ludwig & Hans Sotin & Helga Dernesch & Chor der Wiener Staatsoper & Wiener Philharmoniker & Sir Georg Solti

Tannhäuser is an opera by German composer Richard Wagner, first performed in 1845. Musically it combines expansive Romantic orchestration, leitmotif-driven thematic writing and declamatory vocal writing drawn from Germanic legend, and it occupies an important position in Wagner's development towards his later music dramas.
