Great Opera Choruses - Richard Wagner (choir & piano)

In addition to the choral highlights "The entry of the guests" and the "Pilgrims' Chorus" from Tannhäuser, and the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin, the collection Great Opera Choruses - Richard Wagner presents four choruses from two early, lesser known operas, Die Feen and Rienzi. Moreover, the repertoire of Wagner opera choruses has been expanded with two choral arrangements: "Allmächtiger" from Die Feen, originally for a mixed ensemble of solo voices and choir, arranged by the editor of this collection, Johannes Knecht, and the famous "Rienzi's Prayer" from Act 5 of the opera of the same name, transcribed for choir by Clytus Gottwald.
