[@Fritzike]

Thanks lot for having the score simultaneously running in the background!!!!

[@1495dja]

wow at last Siegfried Wagner has a bit more of a youtube presence! Thank you- keep up the good work! :)

[@Sploooks]

I love that he wrote this piece after his first homoerotic encounter. Gives such a nice context to the piece.

[@laboucheduserpent-]

Franz, Richard and Siegfried, great family.

[@steveegallo3384]

Very close family....sensitive.....touchy-feeling. BRAVO from Acapulco!

[@laboucheduserpent-]

@@steveegallo3384 Absolutely. ^^

Not having a lot of formal music training, I feel free to evaluate a work on its own merit. In this, I ask dto I like a work. I found to my listening ear, this work to be exceptional. It is now part of my listening repertoire.

[@wadyslawmyslinski2707]

Very beatifull connection at the beginning to Richar's Wagner Renunciation of Love motiv, used in Ring of Nibelungs. What a loose that Richard used it only few times during whole 4 Nibelung dramas ...

[@joachim590]

Siefried Wagner est un grand compositeur, malheureusement éclipsé par son père Richard. Il faut écouter ses opéras, sa symphonie, pour s'en convaincre.

[@laboucheduserpent-]

Oui c'est vrai que cette pièce est très bonne à mon avis 🥰

[@nancypagalis]

Amazing :)

Musical beauty is truly in the ear of the listener. So many diametrically opposed opinions are in the comments about this video.

[@Eastwyrm]

So beautiful-especially 17:09! :)

Prelude to his Sternengebot, op. 5

[@OnlyMozart1]

According to IMSLP it was published at around 1908. So I would assume that it's the manuscript which resurfaced, not the work as a whole.

[@MARCTULATAI]

This music is really GOOD ! Obviously cannot be better or even equal to that of his father, Richard Wagner . Maybe , If was a work of Gustav Mahler or Richard Straus (pos-romantic composers ) we would have many compliments here .

[@GuillaumeB7]

I find that it has a lot of similarity to Hans Rott Symphony no. 1 from 1880. The proto post-romantic. It's less progressive than even Rott though. But that ending is really nice!

[@jochembinst5647]

"Helferich" did well. He created his own oeuvre. A lot of respect for the underestimated son of a genius (sic).

[@steveegallo3384]

Why "sic"? Greetings from Acapulco.

[@mariastalker1]

grandilocuente y vacia de sentimiento por mas que si lo intenta pero languidece

[@frankzhou3529]

17:08 Prelude to Sternengebot

[@bayreuth79]

Reminiscent of passages from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde.

[@anhypotheton]

12:50 overture der fliegende holländer

[@Eastwyrm]

*~17:07

[@schaerffenberg]

A truly inspired and moving masterpiece that deserves far wider recognition. Too bad its fame has been obscured by repetition of second-raters like Mahler, Bernstein, Mendelssohn, et al!

[@bastianjohannse]

I hope that it is a coincidence, that the supposed "second-raters" are all composers with jewish backround!

[@windstorm1000]

bastianjohannse Siegfried was also part jewish through his mother! so much for 'racial superiority'---our lives are up to the individual, not the race.

[@Grondorn]

+marc roland Mendelssohn second rate????

[@Fritzike]

+marc roland Mendelssohn died in 1847, 20 years before Siegfried was born....give it another try....

[@harryandruschak2843]

+bastianjohannse NOT a coincidence :(

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Beats me why he thought it a good career choice to become a composer. Not that he was a bad one, but he had a legacy that was impossible to live up to. So why bother and not become a dentist instead?

[@fflambeauutube]

3rd rate stuff. No one would listen to this without knowing his father.
