‘...This is in short a most valuable release which enshrines excellent performances and recordings of some very rare music indeed. The orchestral playing and the splendid recording in the symphonies makes this a clear first choice for those two works, and the other items make a valuable bonus.' Musicweb International.com

Early on in his career, Wagner composed two symphonies, both of which are included in this album. The Symphony in C, which he wrote when he was just nineteen years old, is heavily influenced by Beethoven in its character, mood, and instrumentation. Written two years later, in 1834, the Symphony in E was left unfinished, Wagner completing only the first movement and thirty bars of the second. The completed version recorded here was prepared by the conductor Felix Mottl more than fifty years later at the request of Wagner's widow, Cosima.

The two marches on this recording are the composer's most obvious contributions to the genre of pomp and circumstance. The Huldigungsmarsch was written in 1864 for King Ludwig II of Bavaria. The march-like rhythms and brassy colours complement sections in which the strings provide a continuously flowing movement, all leading to a jubilant conclusion. The Kaisermarsch (1871) was a commission from the publishing firm Peters, who requested from Wagner a heroic morale booster at a time when the German countries were at war with France. Having initially composed it for military band, Wagner soon rewrote it for symphony orchestra, the version recorded in this album.

The Overture to Rienzi, Wagner's third completed opera (1838 - 40), incorporates the melody of Rienzi's prayer at the start of Act V, which became the opera's best-known aria, and ends with a dazzling military march.
