Notes
The classical music that was used in the 1972 movie Ludwig - Luchino Visconti's epic biographical masterpiece about the life of Ludwig II, the king of Bavaria from 1866 until his death in 1886 who's often refered to as "Mad King Ludwig" or as the "Märchenkönig" (Fairy-tale King).

Much of the music used in the Ludwig soundtrack is composed by Richard Wagner - quite appropriate considering the monarch's deep feeling toward Wagner and his music. The music of Wagner is the sound of Ludwig's life when he was in power. This makes it possible to have a soundtrack that can both recall images of the film as well as be enjoyable music without the film.

Also contributing to the Ludwig soundtrack is music by Jacques Offenbach and Robert Schumann.

Packaging & Liner Notes
Standard Jewel case. 8 page booklet with interesting liner notes and images from the movie.
