Podcast 11/10/23 Gold – Music for a sonorous metal
Gold is invaluable, and the composers know that too. Not only do they write gold waltzes and “golden sonatas”, the precious metal also serves as raw material for many hot musical thrillers. In Wagner’s Ring cycle, the treasure hunters find themselves in a musical gold rush. Romantic composers paint golden soundscapes. The impressionists make goldfish and gold dust shine musically. And even Oberteufel Mephistopheles shows commercial know-how on the opera stage when he sings: “Gold rules the world.”
