Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg - Akt.3. - H.Stein, Weikl, Jerusalem, Prey, Clark 

Oh yes, indeed! I checked the description to see if it was a Vermeer, then scrolled to see if the artist was mentioned!

he is not Vermeer but Antonello da Messina

@@SigfriedNothung You mean "St Jerome in His Study"? Sure! Thank you for information.

@@kyellowplush2196 😄Yes , like please-.....

I have listened to this opera for about 10 years at this point. A gem in a very chaotic world.

Same. It never gets old, unlike other musical works. This act especially is the best for me.

100 Times!?!?!??! You really need to go into Rehab my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a privilege

That's solid craft without surprises - to me best manner to stage Meistersinger.

+Adeodatus100 Hitchcock appeared always at begin.

This is actually very moving, and adds yet another conciliatory detail to this amazing ending...

The Wagner genes are strong.

As a "newbie" taking his first steps into this "world", it's fine points like this that you shared (4 years ago, no less!) that make it an even grander experience. Thanks!

Ganz deiner Meinung!!

One of my favourite parts too

seen*

And Wagner’s grandson being there behind the handshake

@@LoveFor298Yen Yes, particularly special in this performance!!

That's not how Wagner the antisemitic bigot wanted it. The whole production is a joke.

The Otto Schenk wasn't bad either.

He also did the greatest Captain in Wozzeck I ever saw. Highly recommend watching him in the first scene of Act I, he completely steals the show.

Iu imh zzz zzz c UU

I agree totally ! 💔

..wie wahr...

@Berni Boy Der aktuelle Tannhäuser ist sogar noch schlimmer als der mit der Biogasanlage. Da rennt er als Clown rum. Was ein Schwachsinn...

I mean it’s great but it’s nothing compared to Tristan und Isolde

What about the Ring? I love it!

My god! Wagner was “meta” before meta was even a concept. Wagner invented “The Easter Egg!” Thank you Bee-Vai - you literally just made me love this opera even more!

@@KENBECKERART Wait until you see that at the end of Tristan und Isolde, a bit before the final leitmotif, there's a leitmotif that can also be heard in Wotan's farewell in Die Walküre, and with the same notes, just one octave higher :) It's funny because I've never seen that discussed anywhere. Anyways on that subject I've had this strange theory about a "Wagner multiverse", that in all likelyhood means absolutely nothing because multiverses weren't teally a thing back then. So using very dubious deduction methods, we can first guess that Tristan und Isolde and Die Meistersinger are related because of that leitmotif. But Tristan und Isolde is also related to the Ring because of that other leitmotif I mentioned. Since Wotan and Fricka are mentioned in Lohengrin, they are also related. And of course Lohengrin is related to Parsifal. And guess what? Parsifal and Lohengrin are characters from Wolfram von Eschenbach, who appears in Tannhäuser, so once again a relation. So all of these operas are (probably not though) related in some way! Anyways don't take this seriously because this isn't very serious. You could also make a case for some other passages resembling a leitmotif from another opera but that's quite farfetched honestly. Anyways thanks for your reply, that comment was originally just intended for me to remember where that part was

@@Bee-Vai Okay, so now I’m even more ready to go down the rabbit hole… I had the good fortune to study Medieval English literature and Arthurian Literature in school (wayyyy back…) and I was captivated by Eschenbach (and a host of other sources I’d not yet discovered like Chrétien du Trois, Gawain and the Green Knight and the real Beowulf…) I also don’t think Wagner was creating a “multiverse” so much as he was drawing from a very deep well of the “monomyth” where there is so much crossover between the archetypes of the human psyche. Since I know he was writing several operas simultaneously he certainly would have seen the recurring archetypal themes playing out; hence Hans Sachs and Eva’s “kind of” relationship (which hardly approached tragedy) had some notes similar to Tristan and Isolde’s otherwise very different and very tragic, fully “blown out” relationship. Unfulfilled love and longing are universal themes to different degrees with everyone, so of course he’d draw from that same root. Like a painter who favors certain palettes or techniques because that is how they apprehend a mood or story. Whew, all this “music appreciation” of course has just got me more fired up about this Wagnerian “rabbit hole” (and now I’m going to revisit Eschenbach too!)

I came here to see how Wagner presented Beckmesser as a Jewish scoundrel in this anti-semitic opera. It's a wonder how only a thousand Nazis liked the video despite 100K views.

@@psijicassassin7166 Nobody cares about your uncultured views. Btw. Wagner is greater than his critics and even than his most ardent admirers. That said, he's of course right in his metaphysics.

@@psijicassassin7166 How is anything about Beckmesser Jewish?

@@fansofst.maximustheconfess8226 What do you mean by your last sentence?

In der Tat! Hatte Peter Hofmann in der Inszenierung !

Yes, once upon a time Bayreuth prided itself on presenting fine, traditional productions, strange as it may seem.

Karl Oehl gave me goosebumps. Breathtaking.

melomano0077 En ese caso, para uno que empieza en el arte wagneriano, mas aun uno como musico y estudiante de musica, ¿que hay que hacer?

Saludos Danny Salguero. Creo firmemente que el arte es para ennoblecer y ensalzar el espíritu. Toda interpretación o expresión "artística" que pretenda deformar o desviarnos hacia otros senderos confusos, como sucede hoy en día, solo busca alejarnos de verdades y destinos grandiosos para el ser humano. El arte Wagneriano esta empapado de influencias y cánones estéticos, que van desde la leyenda, pasando por lo griego y clásico. Wagner nos legó una gran obra como aporte en la eterna búsqueda existencial. El pasado, presente y futuro se fusionan en el Anillo, por ejemplo, para ofrecernos toda una enciclopedia humana. Te sugiero la lectura de sus escritos: "Arte y revolución", "La obra de arte del futuro", "Opera y drama", "El judaismo en la música" que te darán mas luz para poder transitar en el sendero Wagneriano rumbo al Walhala de la plenitud artística. Obviamente todo esto de la mano de la audición de sus dramas musicales. Un abrazo.

melomano0077 gracias por tu respuesta.

Lo hacen a propósito para vengarse del maestro

@@melomano0077 Herzlichsten Dank für diesen wunderbaren Beitrag. So können nur edle und reife Seelen schreiben, wahre Eingeweihte und große Liebende....

Das muss so sein. Laut, und die Sänger sollen's schwer haben. Ist ja schließlich keine italienische Oper.

That is Bayreuth for you. It muffles the voices of the orchestra in favour of the voices.
