Parsifal - Verwandlungsmusik - Transformation Music - Wagner - Solti 

I've been listening to this piece a lot over the past several months, sometimes multiple times a day. It has a cleansing, healing effect, and I need that now.

Parfisal is a perfection, from the first note to the last. What an extraordinary musical journey.

Music not of this world. Magnificent performance.

this whole 'opera' like one big theme(s) and variations - like holding up a giant jewel and displaying it from so many different angles - watching how it shines under so many types of light and color

I hear and sense so many things in this music: time,universe, infinity and its possibilities.

If Wagner's music was comparable to pain, it would be the sweetest suffering - so beautiful as to be almost painful.

My blood runs cold when I hear those bells.

Solti's 1970's recording is the absolute Gold Standard. Miraculous. This is an earlier recording.

Hearing this and considering the complete dumpster fire of our current era, truly is tragic what we've lost...

Magical! Unearthly Music - unearthly Opera... and what a perforrmance....

For me this is the greatest piece of music ever created, and perhaps the most beautiful creation of all mankind… such beauty can save us entirely, it will save the world… in the end we will have nothing left to show for ourselves than our creations and our art, and when this is, let us show Parsifal.

Parsifal my personal favorite opera out off all the compositions written by Wagner. From it's heavenly stirring prelude and interludes to it's celestial contents. For me nothing has truly topped this classical 💎

I sometimes wonder, how did Wagner do it, that is, how was he able to create so much magnificent music during one lifetime? This "Transformation Music" is one of the non-vocal sections of Parsifal that can travel deep into one's soul and inspire one forever. The other wonderful example is the "Karfreitagszauber" ("Good Friday Magic"). I ascribe that music to Wagner's generosity, an extra sublime experience that isn't directly related to the story but overwhelms us with still more inspriation.

What an astonishing creative journey Wagner has accomplished from his early works in the mundane style of Weber and Meyerbeer to this hyper genial and never surpassed level of expression! I was truly transformed when I heard this the first time.

Solti is here an immense conductor. He builds crescendos and decrescendos, tone shortages of a gigantic power.

sublime, beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinary beautiful.

Richard Wagners größte Oper

A piece of music into a piece of music. This one is a summary of all germanic symphonic music. Perfection.

This is as good as it gets.

So many leitmotifs flowing into each other, blending seamlessly into a coherent whole...

With Solti, we hear everything Wagner wrote; nothing gets lost. Remarkable conducting. Some call it a little too "tight, bordering on the chilly". And I agree that you can sacrifice some rapture because of it. But it's very much like the difference between driving a Buick and driving a BMW. In the BMW, you feel the road; you experience it all. I think that's what Solti sought. A great deal of rapture remains except rather than lush, it's crystalline.

Even now I remember how entranced I was when I saw Parsifal at the Met...

Breathtakingly beautiful music!

So glad I found this ! ! ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I've actually never heard a version that completely satisfies me. It's almost as if the potential of this music is more than mere human beings can render. Solti's version is excellent, don't get me wrong... but in every single rendition, there seems to be something missing. It's truly sublime music, in the truest sense of the word: It can't be grasped by mere mortals.

The Master is the Master.

Maybe the greatest "opera" at all.

Summum musical un pur chef d'œuvre qui ne peut être égalé

a music such as no other

Magnífico, sublime !!!

Musicalidade de grande força expressiva, digna de um espírito forte como o de Wagner.

Strong transformation. Thank you.

Dear Molto Vivace, Thank you for another wonderful Wagner exert, beautifully illustrated by the infinite dimensions of space and time. Some rare, very rare, figures in human culture have this gift and power of concentration! They reach with astonishing technical prowess into the vast collective subconscious realm, which in truth permeates and animates all of reality (including our mostly illusory ego-perspective), and extract utterly transcendental elements. Moulding these elements within some supreme formal structure that can be grasped by our limited ego-perspectives (or rather is transmitted straight through them to our own deep psychical levels), such genius then electrifies our whole psyches, with nothing short of the words of absolute divinity! If Wagner had not been such an idealistic humanitarian (I say only half-facetiously), despite his notedly petulant, vengeful and egomaniacal personal shortcomings, his genius might have assumed a quite diabolical power and tyrannical sway over much of European culture. A demonic philosopher prince, of perhaps a New Germano-Roman empire. As if Dante and Shakespeare had started to write irresistibly evil but intoxicating tracts, praising and summoning great destruction and hatred, and the actually satanic. Love andrea

Is perfect!

Semplicemente FANTASTICO!!!!!

Magnifique !

A sublime universal utterance

Lo grandioso es solo un epíteto de esta genialidad...

Wunderschön!!!! Nadie más ha sido capaz de igualar la belleza de la musica de Richard Wagner.🥰🥰🥰

Grandioso Wagner..

Und Verwandlung soll es in der Welt geben! - Peter Hofman Kolk

BRAVO !!!!

Many great artists writes great music,but none like Wagner...

Beautiful.

Preciosa melodia

la magia del sonido a servicio de lo místico

La disfrute en una funcion de vallet con esta musica

Sublime : One must have the Bayreuther Festspiele 1951,1962,Solti and Jordan,in one's music collection.Live in performance is best, but some,eg Munchen if not all productions ,spoil it for me.Next 21st April,2019,Staatsoper Wien.

Diese geniale Musik kommt erst so richtig rüber wenn sie richtig schön langsam dirigiert wird. So wie von James Levine in 4,5 Stunden und nicht wie von Pierre Boulez in 3 Stunden und 40 Minuten.

Nice

PARSIVAL fue una incente jovencito que le dieron unos monjes antiquisimos a guardar EL SANTO GRIAL Y LA ESPADA QUE ROMPIO EL CORAZON DE CRISTO EN LA CRUZ. Es todo lo que se sabe.

This is God

mente en otra dimensión

Truly, we are in ..... Wagnerian Times.....j

People accuse, blame and curse Richard Wagner for many things. This music alone reedeems him for any syns he might have committed in his whole life.

Pesival la vi dramatizada en teatro grabado. duro 4 horas un sueño de belleza. Acá en Mérida Yucatán tenemos un cine cultura. dedicado solo a obras de está talla.

Profundamente Sublime y Espiritual, por fin el Hombre vera al Padre Creador y llegara a su primera Meta trascendental en el Infinito Progreso Espiritual.

7:32 booooom

die musikalische form gottes

Puccini has proprotedly said that when he got stuck "muscally", (as in blocked), he's always go to Wagner.

E = mc2

Percival es a quien le entregaron El Santo Grial y la espada que le claron a Visto en la cruz. A un jovencito campesino.

Wagner em seu epílogo compôs está Obra de profunda espiritualidade, reconhecimento do milagre Divino da vida e o dom de Jesus Cristo. O Santo Graal, cálice da Última Ceia simboliza o amor que une a humanidade para a vida eterna. Parcifal levou Nietzsche a se afastar de Wagner.

Un audio de Solti sólo puede ser superado por un video de Solti. Son dos espectáculos: el de la escena músico-teatral y el de la "performance" de Solti. Hay alquien ahí que nos pueda ofrecer el vídeo ? Gracias por adelantado.

May I put this video in my website?

Uploaded the full orchestral and vocal score to this recording, wunderbar!: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i3jC6UAs7Aw.html

ショルティのWagnerだけは特別に素晴らしい！

And then, wagner dead in Nietzsche's eyes...

🇸🇦👍🏻👍🏻

Weißt du, was du sahst?

May you discover Wagner before you die! So true that so many miss much of life. He was a devil but I love his music. A strange dichotomy

Wagner was a Sorcerer: The divine conjurer of arguably the most beautiful music ever written----and---- a proponent of some of the most evil racial philosophies of the 19th and 20th centuries. How do we reconcile these two aspect of a man? With great difficulty! I give this one up to God.

Aryan music 😍😍

The hymn of german arrogance

I attended 4 performances at the last revival at the Met Opera, and I’m Jewish, albeit cultural and an atheist. Wagner’s music moves me so much, despite his being a scumbag as a human being, and virulent anti-semite.
