Christian Thielemann – Wagner: Lohengrin: Prelude Act 3 / "Treulich geführt" (Bridal Chorus)

Lohengrin emerged here as a work of revolutionary freshness. It did so by paying full attention to the score’s rich details, exchanging the usual Wagnerian default setting of loud and louder still for a bel canto interpretation shot through with spine-tingling dynamic contrasts and expressive subtlety.
Anna Netrebko thought she would have to sing with full voice and more to make it through Lohengrin. “That’s what I expected with Wagner,” she recalls. “At first I sang everything quite loud. I thought: ‘It’s Wagner – it has to be loud!’ But when I came to rehearse, Maestro Thielemann had the orchestra play so softly I could hear almost nothing and could sing even quieter than I would in, say, Bellini or Donizetti.”
