Richard Wagner - The ride of the Valkyries from Die Walküre

FacundoJG 2007-11-25 | Richard Wagner
The ride of the Valkyries, from Die Walküre

Richard Wagner is considered the master of German opera, and one of the most progressive composers in history.
The philosophical issues that Wagner considered vital to society were the tension between good and evil, between the physical and spiritual, and between selfishness and redemptive love.
Wagner is also one to the most controversial composers of our time, his music was breathtaking, his politics left many cold.

Der Ring des Nibelungen, (The Ring of the Nibelung), is a cycle of four epic music dramas by the German composer Richard Wagner.

Johann Sebastian Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 (Allegro-Adagio)

FacundoJG 2007-11-01 | Johann Sebastian Bach
Brandenburg Concerto No 3 in G Major, BWV 1048, Allegro Adagio.

Johann Sebastian Bach was taught by his father to play the violin and the harpsichord. He was also initiated into the art of organ playing by his famous uncle, Johann Christoph Bach.
Most of Johann Bach's younger life was spent playing church and town organs. It wasn't until his later life that his genius of composing surfaced. Unfortunately, at the height of his creativity his eyesight started to fail him. Sadly, he lived in the darkness because of his light sensitive eyes until his final years.
