On the 90th birthday of JOHN BOORMAN

EXCALIBUR, with Siegfrieds Trauermarsch to accompany Arthur (and the movie) to the end. #wagnerism

'The imbecile man, the non-metaphysic, is instinctively led towards the appearance of mass and height, towards a kind of architectural wagnerism. Affair of innocence; they are men who do not know the terrible lines and angles; they are worn versus the infinite and it is here that

Leif Ove Andsnes playing the 5th of the Six Impromptus Op. 5 that Finnish composer Jean Sibelius wrote. Sibelius (1865-1957) was at the crossroads of many influences one can perceive in his pieces: romanticism, impressionism (Debussy), wagnerism, national folk Finnish music.➡️

all in for anarcho-wagnerism 🔥🔥

Although I can't say I find Satie's music 'nourishing', his calculated wackiness was culturally apt. Pieces like “3 Pieces in the Shape of a Pear”, “Flabby Preludes for a Dog” and “Desiccated Embryos” rewardingly deflate Wagnerism's excesses in a characteristically French way.

“Never again.”

Long live Wagnerism!

Although I can't say I find the music of Erik Satie nourishing, his absurdism was wonderfully apt. By giving his pieces titles like “3 Pieces in the Shape of a Pear”, “Flabby Preludes for a Dog” and “Desiccated Embryos”, he helped deflate the excesses of Wagnerism. Very French.
