Description

A special kind of birthday song by the comedian and pianist from Munich, Dietrich Paul, called ‘Piano Paul’. To mark the 200th birthday of Richard Wagner on 22 May 2013 he prepared a humorous ‘piano mixture’ of various themes, from the Tristan prelude to the song ‘Happy Birthday’. Even Wagner’s father-in-law, Franz Liszt, has his say, and Richard Strauss sends his regards in the form of several of his immortal melodies. A cheerful serenade for Wagner lovers and those who wish to be. Suitable as an encore for open-minded pianists.
