Wagner is, of course, best known for his operas, but he actually wrote music in an unexpectedly wide variety of genres. Encompassing orchestral works, overtures, marches, songs, choral works and piano music, this collection complements Wagner’s great operas, providing fascinating insights into the composer’s emerging style and musical techniques. It also showcases some rousing, moving and powerful music that is well worth discovering.
