Wagner bewerkingen door Henk de Vlieger.

Symphonic compilation by Henk de Vlieger, 1993

 
In 1991, Henk de Vlieger, percussionist in the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, had arranged Richard Wagner's famous opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung into a single symphonic work, a fiery musical spectacle entitled The Ring, an orchestral adventure. The success of this led to a demand for more such arrangements, because the music, which Wagner originally composed for the theatre, turned out - after some adaptions - to be ideally suited to the concert hall. So 1993 saw the appearance of De Vlieger's second Wagner arrangement - of the opera Parsifal.
