Richard Wagner - The Love Meal Of The Apostles A.O.

Facts Many years after writing Das Liebesmahl der Apostel (The Love-Meal of the Apostles) Wagner described it as "a sort of folkloric miracle play." The piece for orchestra and male choruses is today rarely performed and little known. Nevertheless, as the Male voice choir of vocapella and the Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz show on this new release, the piece holds value and deserves to be more widely known. Along with this work, the ensembles and their conductor Marcus Bosch have also recorded "Vorspiel" and "Karfreitagszauber" from Wagner's more successful opera Parsifal. Conductor Marcus Bosch has held the positions of Generalmusikdirektor in Aachen as well as at the Staatstheater Nurnberg. He is the artistic director of an opera festival in his hometown of Heidenheim, and was appointed professor at the Musikhochschule Munchen in 2016. This is a live recording.
