- The Good Friday Music. Parsifal by Richard Wagner.
Daniel Barenboim / Harry Kupfer production.
My favourite Parsifal on video.
(English subtitles, Deutsche Untertitel, sous-titres Français, subtítulos en Español)
I do rather like this 1992 Berlin Staatsoper production Parsifal. Sir John Tomlinson is brilliant as Gurnemanz; he sings beautifully
and subtly captures Gunemanz's misreading of every situation.
The acting of Poul Elming and Waltraud Meier (Parsifal and Kundry) is also wonderful; Kundry has no lines durring the "Good Friday Spell" & yet I find the understanding, that seems to pass between the two, very moving.
And though he is not in this scene,
I also enjoyed Falk Struckmann's very physical Amfortas.

I listen to this every year on Good Friday. blessed easter, y'all.
The scene with the baptism of Kundry is in its own way a love scene. And love is what we must feel for her in this moment. Tomlinson has a very maskulin voice. We can imagine how a formidable soldier Gurnemanz must have been in his youth!
John Tomlinson. Simply the greatest Wagnerian bass, ever!
I agree, he's terrific. No strain; pure sonics.
He is great, yes, but I guess you maybe have ever heard of Matti Salminen or Josef Greindl for example...? ;)
GRACIAS !!! SIENTO QUE UN PEDAZO DEL CIELO ME HA SIDO ENTREGADO......
Tomlinson is great as Gurnemanz.
Thank you very much, beautiful.
My pleasure, Scrumptious.
There IS only one John Tomlinson.....
Beautiful
Wunderbar
There are many fine conductors of Wagner, (Kna, Levine, Solti, etc.) but I think, hands down, my fave is Barenboim. He really "gets" Wagner consitantly.
I adore Barenboim.
Well no accounting for taste. Beautiful all the same.
gracias por traducirlo, es maravilloso ;)
UNA DELICIA DE VOCES
My favorite is Alexander Kipnis, at least on recordings.
Was mich stört ist die in Blau getauchte Bühne. Das will nicht recht passen. Wenn man den "Karfreitagszauber" hört, sieht man irgendwie die Farbe Grün vor sich; ähnlich wie man mit der Musik des Lohengrin die Farbe Blau assoziiert. Ich denke, dass man als Regisseur diesem Farbenhören Rechnung tragen sollte und dem nicht entgegen inszenieren darf...
Faszinierend. Ich habe letztes Jahr an einer Lohengrininszenierung mitgewirkt und tatsächlich war Lohengrin's Farbe... Blau.
Based on the thumbnail, I thought it was a star wars musical with Obi-Wan, Padme, and Anakin haha
" . . . captures Gunemanz's misreading of every situation." ???
Yep ,,, That was my hot take:
Gunemanz is the last healthyish man in a sick society.
He has inherited virtues and wisdom, but no real knowledge or understanding.
He does not understand the roots of his own beliefs and rituals, and he yearns for restoration.
He often reverses cause and effect.
For example here he thinks he is explaining things to Parsifal whereas, it is Parsifal that is restoring meaning to his explanations.
I think this production particularly emphasises this aspect of the opera.
At least that it what I think I was thinking at the time.
Its nice to know people read the the description.
Where'd you park the KAR?
"In der Gralsburg" more Parsifal with multi-subs ua-cam.com/video/XGVKiYcesK4/v-deo.html .
Tomlinson always had a certain natural ‘gravitas’ that must have been directed out of him in this production. He looks like a confused hobbit. (Like Thomas Stewart, his top voice was always problematic.)
"How fair the meadows seem today." WHAT meadows??? Lovely music and singing, but why does the production completely ignore what the text is describing? Phooey on Harry Kupfer.
Bring back James Levine and some real Karfreitagszauber!
Not sir john’s best
Too slow
Really? Barenboim seems to be taking it quite quickly to me.
Nigel Verney Good, get it over with!
+Roger Propes hah :)
Too fast.
Yes, he sings about Good Friday spells. Where are they? Can you see it? I do not. This is why there's no point in going to the opera to be scammed by an Eurotrash stage director. Much better to just listen at home, and my imagination does the job better than him.
It was hiding in the toilet
