2013 is the year of the Bicentenary of two great composers of classical music: Richard Wagner (1813-1883) and Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). This is why this classical music collection with all of their masterpieces has been created, to delight all Opera lovers and introduce beginners to this exciting music genre.
In Opera, word and music fuse to create profound emotions and impressions to the spectator. Classical music and Opera particularly are related to our most intimate inner selves. They have an intense aura that makes them sublime, magnificent, and even supernatural.
The impact created by this music is so extreme at times it goes beyond our reach of understanding. Metaphorically it can be described as the impact of an asteroid.
This explains why when German astronomer Freimut Börngen, discovered two asteroids in 1982 and 1987 from his Tautenburg base, decided to call them Verdi and Wagner respectively. The asteroid called Verdi has the number 3975 (1982 UR3) and Wagner has number 3992 (1987 SA7).
This is where the concept for this collection comes from. It is based on the immensity of space, its mystery and the rocks that live up there, in the unknown.
