Author: Arnold Whittall
As with Humperdinck, folk-like and pastoral topics bring out the best in the composer, and extracts like the waltz from An allem ist Hutchen schuld and the overture to Die heilige Linde have a mixture of hearty exuberance and lyrical charm that can still appeal. Even here, however, there is a tendency to over-orchestrate – perhaps as insurance against the vagaries of the smaller German opera companies? – and the effect, especially when several works are heard end-to-end, grows wearisome.
There has been renewed interest in Siegfried Wagner’s operas in German, with productions at the Rudolstadt Festival, and several complete recordings. A fairer sampling of these works can probably be gained from the various CPO discs of vocal extracts, rather than from the overtures and other orchestral movements alone. The performances are competent, but the recordings are too resonant for ideal clarity of texture, and the special pleading in the otherwise informative notes is also something of a trial.'
