专辑简介

Richard Wagner's prolific musical output was restricted to the composition of operas only. He brought the opera to new and unexplored heights of dramatic grandeur, theater, and spellbinding music.

The Flying Dutchman was Wagner's first great success. It tells the story of a ghost ship eternally sailing the high seas, whose captain can only be saved from this fate by the love of a woman. The music is stirring and thrilling, with a theme of mysticism. The taxing and very difficult role of Senta is sung by a dramatic soprano.
