🎁💐 Happy Mother's Day! Treat your mother to a beautiful aubade this morning, like Wagner did to his wife in 1870. Wagner composed this work, Siegfried Idyll, as a birthday present for his wife Cosima. On 25 December at 7:30 in the morning thirteen musicians played it in the hallway of Wagners house in Luzern, while Cosima was still in bed. Isn't that a great gift? ► Watch the complete performance free of charge in HD quality on our website: http://bit.ly/2LzROaP | Concertgebouworkest
