Grossartig! Eine meiner Lieblingstellen von der Goetterdaemmerung und des ganzes Ringes! Das Orchester scheint ein bisschen zu gedaempft zu speilen, aber CHOR!!!! das ist einfach die beste, die maechtigste Interpretation von Mannenchor, die ich je gehoert habe, und ihr koennt mir glauben, ich hab schon meeeeeehrmals den "Ring" erlebt! Boulez/Cherreu oder Barenboim/Kupfer beispielweise haetten diesen Interpreten beim besten Willen nicht das Wasser reichen koennen! Herzlichsten Dank:)
Congratuations to GoDigital MG for submitting the most ridiculous copyright claim yet - that they own the musical composition. Gotterdammerung was written 150 years ago! RU-vid has gotten ridiculous - all I can do is dispute the bogus claim. If GoDigital responds that it is valid, even though it isn't, they get the last word and collect royalties from my video. This system is broken.
Thanks, Lewis. Wagner had his rants, but it didn't really affect his professional conduct. As a conductor, he regularly worked with Jewish musicians. His operas were in large part financed by jews, and he personally chose Jewish conductor Hermann Levi to direct the premiere of Parsifal. Much of Wagner's ranting seems to stem from his personal feud with Jewish composer Meyerbeer. Sadly, Wagner took it to extremes. One silly example was wearing gloves whenever he conducted Mendelssohn.
looks like a Wieland w. production--he tastefully expanded past the originals--unlike today's crazy, egocentric directors and their industrialist nightmares.
Eu tinha um LP da Deutsche Gramophon "Festival de Bayreuth" dos anos 60 com trechos das principais óperas de Wagner. Esta, uma das minhas favoritas, eu encontrei tal qual estava no disco. Está difícil encontrar as outras.
Apparently Wagner not only invented the leitmotif, the tristan chord and the wagner tuba, but also the phone. (Although I guess it that was invented in 1876 already...?) In any case: Great performance!
Que decir de Richard Wagner uno de los genios mas grandes que ha visto la raza humana y como humano, solo es propidad de la raza humana.Hombres como Wagner nos ayudan ha ser mucho mas felices. Jose Martin Iborra
Ok, this is a very tastful modern productin which still preserves the ancient archetypes/customes and FEEL of the past--I'm not fusty...this is Wieland's I think...
fnd111 - read Wagner's biography. He housed Mikhail Bakunin in the 1840s for the purpose of inciting a Marxist revolt in Saxony which happened, and Wagner was on the front line. He was a wanted man in Saxony in exile when he wrote the Ring which, I agree with Bernard Shaw, is a metaphor for the proletarian uprising he was part of just a few years earlier. Wagner said of his work "if this is performed correctly it will have to be banned; it's too dangerous."
wow!!! for a 1958 recording it's EXCELLENT. kudos to the sound engineer that did the re-master. most pre-digital analog's I have heard of Wagner are scratchy and weak in range. is this Gotterdammerung available on CD box set? who sings Siegfried and Brünnhilde?
people are such geeks, Hitler also liked cream pastries, & lentils, the list goes on, I've been to the Eagles Nest, anyone else here? so what if he liked Wagner.
Have to admit, someone out there can probably make a collage of footage from Skyrim and put it to this piece and it would somehow fit together perfectly.
@XxRedVampirexX They sing `Was wagen?´ (What is to dare?) - I have been reading much of Wagners lyrics and found them very awkward. One could say it is `Wagner-deutsch´/Wagner-german - a language which only exists on stage...
I wouldn't say that, it's just Wagner did so well with Leitmotivs that the were finally given a name. Leitmotives already existed. The Tristan chord can be found as a 7 chord starting with the 7th note of the scale: half diminished. He's just use it in different contexts: No particular context at the beginning, A flat major at the beginning of Leibesnacht and B major at the end of the opera. If it was played in F sharp major it would be a diatonic VII half diminished 7 chord. Wagner tubas: yes.
What a singer! What a choir!! Listen with headphones, it's just like being at Bayreuth - if you ever have the good fortune. As far as the old problem of Wagner's attitude to the Jews is concerned, I trust D. Barenboim's judgement (music is just that, music. We should be able to separate it from its composer's personal views). I agree with the comment about 'hysterical' Jews, but we shouldn't generalise. There are thousands of Wagner-loving Jews in the world who wouldn't associate with Tel Aviv.
You don't understand. Wagner should of course never be "banished" since he is the greatest composer of all time. However, it's not because Hitler liked it. It's because of the things Wagner wrote about jews and music. Wagner is nowhere near as extreme as Hitler either, I think Hermann Levi would be substantial proof.
Someone claimed copyright for my own videos playing in my own piano a Chopin Nocturne written in 1830, I claimed to them all of this but apparently Chopin wanted them to keep the winnings and I still have to copyright issue.
@MrElfro89 MrElfro - that's a correct but erroneous observation. GoDigital claimed rights to the sheet music, not the audio recording. My earlier comment made that distinction clear. Around 100,000 people have watched this video since my comment without making the same mistake as you. Remind me NOT to make you a lifeline next time I'm on a quiz show.
Il y a tout un contexte "derrière" cette interpretation. Böhm tire ce choeur hors des brumes germaniques dans lesquelles il baignait pour l'amener vers quelque chose d' épique mais de très diffrent...et prend un tempo tout à fait inhabituel à Bayreuth ce qui fit hurler Wilhelm Pitz ( chef de choeur) et les traditionalistes. Aujourd'hui certains reprochent à Bohm de soit disant sympathies pro nazies en oublaint qu'au niveau musical il a agi souvent en maitre de la denazification...
yeah but this one is definitly not from wagner, its from someone else that interpret (cover) it and that guy has the copyright only of THAT ONE interpretation not of the whole thing its a weird thing but its true
@buzzard73gmail You didn't even put forth an arguement with that comment, you just said put yourself in their shoes, indicated that you don't know what hte word hysterical means... and then you said duh, which is kind of ironic.
