Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr Götterdämmerung - Dawn and Siegfried's Rhine journey (Prologue) A slow orchestral crescendo depicts dawn and sunrise over the Valkyries' rock. Siegfried bids farewell to Brünnhilde in order to hurry on 'to new deeds'. She hears his cheerful horn call from afar. The orchestra takes up the call and then follows the hero as he journeys up the Rhine against the current, plying the oars with all his might. The chorus of horns sounds the majestic Rhine motif before the full orchestra plays the song of the Rhine-maidens. But the unbridled merriment of the latter soon gives way to a lament for the stolen Rhine gold. The mood becomes sombre and the orchestra hints at the fateful events to come. Götterdämmerung - Siegfried's funeral procession (Act Three) During the transitional music before the last scene of the Ring cycle, the body of the murdered Siegfried is carried to the Gibichung hall. The orchestra broods mournfully before the Death motif is thundered out with remorseless solemnity by the timpani and brass. A melancholy theme played by the cor anglais recalls Siegmund and Sieglinde, the parents of Siegfried, then a trumpet sounds the Sword motif, but without its usual triumphant exuberance: hesitant at first, it seems to grow out of itself in a massive crescendo before being cut short by the merciless blows of the Death motif (a similar development occurs with the Siegfried theme, which returns only to die away in resignation). The complex structure of leitmotifs in this great orchestral movement gives the funeral procession a supra-personal dimension: with the death of Siegfried, the 'free hero' longed for by the guilt-embroiled gods is lost, the Old World's hope of redemption buried. The Brünnhilde motif returns forlornly before the music collapses into blackest darkness. Hans Knappertsbusch (1888-1965) made all the recordings on this compilation during the last ten years of his life. His interpretations of Wagner are characterised by a majestic, reverent solemnity, and derive directly from the old school of the Bayreuth veteran Hans Richter, to whom the young Knappertsbusch was assistant conductor at the Bayreuth festivals between 1910 and 1912. The Vienna Philharmonic Knappertsbusch's orchestra on the present recordings, had worked with him since the 1930s and were familiar with his idiosyncratic style. He attached little importance to detailed rehearsals in which works were played through repeatedly, preferring instead to rely on the experience and musicality of the individual members of the orchestra, as well as on the inspiration of the moment.

I just yelled "YEEEEAH MORE WAGNER" I love Wagner and these orchestral excerpts are perfect, especially when conducted by a genius like Hans Knappertsbusch, one of the best Wagner conductors, thank yo very much😃🤗🔥🔥👑
Wunderschöne und majestätische Interpretation dieser romantischen und perfekt komponierten Orchesterwerke mit seidigen Tönen aller Streicher, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und vor allem brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das weltklassige Orchester im lebhaften Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine Originalaufnahame von dreiundsechzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wunderbar!
notaire, Du hast recht. Knappertsbusch macht hier nicht den Fehler vieler Wagnerinterpreten, die ein viel zu langsames Tempo wählen und damit den musikalischen Fluss völlig verlieren! Ich habe auch Aufnahmen von Knappertsbusch gehört, die ich zu langsam finde, und gerade Siegfrieds Tod wird für meinen Geschmack meist viel zu langsam gespielt - aber nicht in dieser Aufnahme!
This is great! The remasteŕed sound is perfect. It gives us a great idea how Knappertsbusch's Wagner interpretations sounded. I don't like it when Wagner's music is played so slowly that it stalls and the natural flow gets lost. But that's not at what Knappertsbusch is doing here. He found a perfect balance and created an incredibly lush sound.
Das mag ich auch nicht. Und diese Version hier ist sehr gut. Aber ich finde das Klaus Tennstedt, dass noch besser rüberbringt und ein besseres Tempo hat. Besonders die Götterdämmerung hat mich unglaublich beeindruckt. ua-cam.com/video/wXh5JprKqiU/v-deo.htmlsi=7iO45eBIXHw9hfZC
Merci infiniment pour cette musique. Wagner est mon compositeur préféré. Sa musique pour moi est tt simplement sublime. Merci encore et meilleures salutations de Montreal, Qc, Canada
His Parsifal is monumental. I love the Transformation music video that’s also available on this channel. But folks, there is absolutely no zip in these performances here, and the entries in all the sections - strings, woodwinds, and horns - are extremely imprecise. The word ‘slothful’ comes to mind. It’s not a tempo issue, but an energy issue. The guy was phoning it in, and wanted to go home.
Thank you, thank you. Absolutely love the photograph of Kna. I wonder if that photo might in fact be from this performance of Parsifal: ua-cam.com/video/Xzu6lmT5Fb8/v-deo.html
Thank you for your U/L for these great musics! I do love your remastering. Any chance to sell your works on other websites? (Qobuz only supports limited countries and Taiwan is not one of them)
KNAPPERRTSBUCHS ? La référence, voyons ! Mais dommage que l'on n'ait pas la vidéo pour le voir diriger, surtout que là, ce sont les Wiener Philharmoniker !
This makes me sad that they didn't pull out the stereo recording equipment and give Knappertsbusch's 1956 Ring the same treatment that they gave Keilberth in '55. His weighty approach really benefits from that extra dimension
It was also a question of finding the right conductor and Culshaw determined that Knappertbusch was not attentive enough in the recording studio to avoid making mistakes. But the Orfeo label received access to the Bayreuth house tapes and released remastered several Ring cycles (in addition to other Wagner operas) And if money is no object, then Pristine has re-remastered versions with Krauss, Knappertbusch, Furtwangler and others.

A very distinctive interpretation. More nuanced and thoughtful than many other renditions. Mil gracias, paz.

It's true, much more transcendental
Unfortunately John Culshaw really disliked recording live performances
