Rienzi reconstruct Wagner's "original" "Rienzi", but "Rienzi" on the other hand was clearly never finished by the composer. It was constantly being altered during the 1840s (and, it seems, possibly throughout Wagner's lifetime), so it is not feasible to fully determine Wagner's exact or final intentions based on existing evidence. Complete recordings (and performances) of Rienzi are rare, although the overture is regularly found on radio broadcasts and compilation CDs. Significant cuts to the score are common in recordings. Rienzi was released on DVD and Blu-ray in 2010. The production was directed by Philipp Stölzl, and performed by the Deutsche Oper
Symphonic Game Music Concerts with the Fanfare for the Common 8-bit Hero, along with an overture of music from Skyward Sword, a concerto of music from The Wind Waker, and an arrangement of the Gerudo Valley theme from Ocarina of Time as an encore. On 9 July 2011, the WDR Radio Orchestra presented "Symphonic Odysseys" at the Philharmonic Hall in Cologne. The concert exclusively paid homage to the work of composer Nobuo Uematsu. Tickets went on sale 1 December 2010 and sold out within 12 hours, prompting the producers to announce a second concert to be performed at 3 pm on the same day.
