Sticky Notes vs. Wagner (w/ special guest Rafael Payare)

Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast - A podcast by Joshua Weilerstein - Thursdays

Categories:

This week, we're honoring the birthday of the legendary composer Richard Wagner by talking about why I don't like his music very much!  I welcome in the great conductor Rafael Payare(who loves Wagner) to discuss the issues with Wagner's music, from its length, scope and overwhelming visceral quality, to its troubling associations with anti-Semitism and Nationalism.  Whether you worship Wagner's music or can't stand it, this show is the one for you.  Perhaps one of us will even change your mind!
