SIEGFRIED (DVD)

Richard Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung reflects the composer's autobiography as much as the
political turmoil of his times. As work progressed  another figure grew to be as important as
the hero Siegfried  the god Wotan  the mouthpiece for Wagner's ideas. He's exactly like us: he
is the sum of today's intellectual consciousness  whereas Siegfried is what we hope the human
being of the future will be  but who cannot be fashioned by us  and who must make himself by
means of our destruction! Our own doom as the basis of a happier future? Second 'day' - and
third part - of Richard Wagner's 'Ring'  the musical saga that its author spent more than a
quarter of a century composing. It follows the rise of a young hero  Siegfried  the
illegitimate son of the twins whose story we were told in Die Walküre. On the one hand  there
is learning about life  glorying in nature and in the emotions  as opposed to those of
calculation and greed on the other. This episode shows how Wagner was intenton changing society
on showing that a different kind of man can exist  that the mercenary petit bourgeois world can
be replaced by greater humanity and freedom.
