The film director Fritz Lang cast Gottfried Huppertz (1887-1937) in several of his films before asking him to write the original score for "Die Nibelungen" (1924), which he composed using the shooting script as a silent libretto. It was Huppertz's first major project and his mastery of orchestration is nothing short of remarkable. Huppertz wrote in a lush, late-Romantic idiom. With "Die Nibelungen", he evokes Wagner's take on Teutonic mythology through a highly lyrical and an orchestral expansiv

A guide for English-speaking readers to the mythology behind Richard Wagner's operas - myths brought from the Orient to the shores of the Baltic. The legends which have Siegfried for their central figure are found in their earlier written forms in the Eddas and the Sagas, as preserved in Iceland. They appear again in changed forms in the great medieval epic, the Nibelungen Lied, and, in our own day, notably in Wagner's majestic operas of the Nibelungen Ring. At the time of original publication in 1904, W. C. Sawyer, Ph.D., was Professor of the German Language and Lecturer on Teutonic Mythology in the University of the Pacific.

One of the greatest artistic and technical achievements of the German silent cinema, Fritz Lang's monumental Die Nibelungen is a passionate retelling of Nordic legend, invested with all the resources of the colossal UFA Studios. Scripted by Lang's wife at the time, Thea von Harbou (Metropolis), Siegfried establishes larger-than-life heroic characters who are defined by tests of valor and rigid codes of honor. In order to win the hand of Kriemhild (Margarete Schoen), Siegfried (Paul Richter) must

Not just one of the most sprawling epics in classical music, but one of the largest-scale works of art ever conceived, Wagner's epic masterpiece was written to be performed in at least 14 hours over four nights (famously, a theater was built in Bayreuth just for Der Ring Des Nibelungen). Not only are a world-class orchestra and chorus necessary to mount it, but so is a conductor well versed in theater as well as music; those elements are all in place here, as Bernard Haitink leads the Symphonie

This highly original book draws on narrative and film theory, psychoanalysis, and musicology to explore the relationship between aesthetics and anti-Semitism in two controversial landmarks in German culture. David Levin argues that Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and Fritz Lang's 1920s film Die Nibelungen creatively exploit contrasts between good and bad aesthetics to address the question of what is German and what is not. He shows that each work associates a villainous character, portrayed as non-Germanic and Jewish, with the sometimes dramatically awkward act of narration. For both Wagner and Lang, narration--or, in cinematic terms, visual presentation--possesses a typically Jewish potential for manipulation and control. Consistent with this view, Levin shows, the Germanic hero Siegfried is killed in each work by virtue of his unwitting adoption of a narrative role. Levin begins with an explanation of the book's theoretical foundations and then applies these theories to close readings of, in turn, Wagner's cycle and Lang's film. He concludes by tracing how Germans have dealt with the Nibelungen myths in the wake of the Second World War, paying special attention to Michael Verhoeven's 1989 film The Nasty Girl. His fresh and interdisciplinary approach sheds new light not only on Wagner's Ring and Lang's Die Nibelungen, but also on the ways in which aesthetics can be put to the service of aggression and hatred. The book is an important contribution to scholarship in film and music and also to the broader study of German culture and national identity.
