Siegfried Idyll played by the Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Bruno Walter. (Gramophone records)

The 'Siegfried Idyll' dates from the happiest period of Wagner's life when he was living with Cosima at the Triebschen Villa, on the Lake of Lucerne. Here, on June 6, 1869, their son Siegfried was born, and during the following year Wagner wrote the 'Siegfried Idyll' as a birthday greeting to Cosima. A select body of local musicians was rehearsed by Richter, and on the morning of Christmas Day they assembled on the staircase and corridors leading to Cosima's bedroom and performed the work, with Wagner as conductor and Richter as first horn.
