Set Western music on a new course. I took 2 senior-level elective courses in Music in a PhD program (long story). Opera and 20th century music. This Opera figured prominently in both courses.
What a legend Waltraud Meier is. The looks on the choir members' faces says a lot. Professional singers mesmerized, stunned, entranced, with an absorbed smile. I am grateful to have heard her sing the Wesendonck Lieder in concert. This woman knows how to captivate every soul in a room.
What a gifted woman. Absolutely beautiful. The voice of a true Wagner singer, strong enough to dominate the whole orchestra and extremely delicate and smooth when needed like in the final notes. ❤
She is an absolute Goddess!!!! Brought all 7000 people to their feet at the Albert Hall in Covent Garden’s Valkyrie. O E of the greatest performances of all time. God bless her!!!! X
❤ The production is what you call perfect. However, I would like to add, the enormous amount of work involved in creating such a sound creates colour, space, form and balance. I am very moved by how engaged the orchestra is. Be the only one lives into and can see all the way into the soul and originates its power in an element that gives us listeners - what they themselves do not get, because, they work to create - what we get. Learning to listen is learning to linger. You see Wagner, you feel his spirit. Tragedy yes. It is what we are as humans. Many classical enthusiasts make the fatal mistake of comparing who is the best. Instead of watching and listening to the interaction. Many productions - especially classical records or LP's has been produced over many years. Some up to 7 years. Before it goes into production. Striving for perfection can be destructive, as mistakes are not mistakes, but provide a dynamic human content. The classical world is not to satisfy its audience by proving its perfection. The art of being alive. Unfortunately, this world has lost so many talented musicians and singers because it was ruined by bad talk and publicity, by people who do not understand or are capable of dynamic humanity and strive to turn art into a kind of sporting competition. And saying "the best" is not nice. Because I can say that Copenhagen has the best Wagner voices in the world. That's not the point. Even those who qualify as the best do not like that role at all. So if Opera is to survive, it is a strong necessity to open up to empathy and the ability to see the joy it is. Anyone can, when they have their heart and soul. Thank you for being able to experience this living space and thank you UA-cam for making it possible for everyone to listen. Oh, if only we could get the very young involved, and let them play with words, thoughts and uplift others, instead of being derogatory and offensive or the bullies. A good unity is to lift, bring out the rare talents we have. We have many wagons, but unfortunately we are unable to bring them forward. Be aware and take care. All are good enough.❤
I recently came across it reading Spengler's Decline of the West. There is are so many references to art. You really need to delve in to achieve a full understanding of the text. He keeps referring to Tristan over and over. So I grabbed my head phones and dove in. Moved to tears and so thankful to know this beauty exists. Art stands on its own despite the channel. ❤
This is why music was invented. For this to be written! Simply an exquisite performance by everyone involved. Transcendental. Floating around the cosmos. Gorgeous. 😑😌😮💖🌌
Qué gran orquesta,qué maravilla cómo canta la Meier,qué fantástico director es Daniel Barenboim,posiblemente el mejor hoy día,y por supuesto el gran creador de música Wagner.Gracias a DW.
Bravo to the Berlin audience for holding absolute stillness in the hall after the cutoff, until DB dropped his hands. Even the Maestro himself seemed reluctant to let go of the ephemeral moment. In the States, it seems there is invariably one lout who is compelled to scream "Braaaavaaaaaaaa!" in the split-second after the cutoff.
Just love Tristan and Isolde!💖 The music and the voice together are incredible!🤯 I always wonder if Wagner heard this music in his mind and heart and was driven to compose the score? Likewise, I have the same thoughts about other great composers. Perhaps it is the difference between 'genius' and the rest of us who can only wonder about it. Thank you Mr. Wagner. DJ 🎶🎼🎻📖
, I would imagine that Wagner heard everyghing in his head, and was able to transpose it to sheet music. What is so amazing is his capability on some of his orchestral compositions where he was able to create up to 4 melodies and counter melodies running concurrently without any discords. A prime example of that technique was Maestrosingers.
Composing for Wagner was a real hard labour, and all but easy with lot of suffering, pain and the final satisfaction to hear it played when he considered achieved.
At the exact moment when Waltraud hits her highest, and most powerful note, the camera switches from a close up of her, to a long shot of the orchestra. While Waltraud sings with mellifluous gut-wrenching beauty, the camera is on the balding heads of the old men in the orchestra. We live in a fallen world where nothing is ever perfect. Greatest soprano, greatest soprano aria, crappy camera work.
@@Altonahh10 (a) Clearly English is not your first language. (b) I DIDN'T say the last note is "most powerful." I said that during the most powerful note the camera switched to the orchestra. (3) You have no idea what you are talking about. (d) Don't use UA-cam comments to practice your English, or, if you must, don't waste my time replying to my comments.
@@Timothy4186 Has anyone ever told you what an arrogant snob you are? Whoever acts as a language teacher here should ensure correct English himself, mister. End of discussion, otherwise I'll report you for insulting attitude.
I've seen plays by Messi and Maradona, I've watched Fangio's races, I've read Borges, Bioy Casares and Arlt, I've listened to Piazzolla, Martha Argerich, I've also heard Baremboin play and direct and I wonder... Why don't we funtional the argentines?
It took me a while to understand why I didn't like the ouverture the first time I heard it. It annoyed me in some way - now I figured out it's because the music never resolves until the very end.
Dear Paul Smith, The whole opera takes place in between. Unfortunately, only the beginning and the end were performed at this concert. But maybe one day we can acquire the rights to upload a whole Tristan. 😉
These two pieces from Tristan are only a concert encore. The program of the concert was Beethoven's 9th - with the chorus. Here we are: ua-cam.com/video/HljSXSm6v9M/v-deo.html
I have performed this aria, however, I have never sounded like this amazing woman. What an incredible performance from all involved. It causes me to weep, endlessly. My heart opens out beyond this world.....
Ño. I am not a lover of Wagner but this is the most beautiful music ever written, It will be played at my funeral services and I çan reach out and touch the face of my son my mother and my little dog when it reaches the crescendo when your heàrt is soaring, soaring till you think it burst. then it gently let's you dowñ
Mark S., If Wagner's Liebestod "wows" you, you are definitely not only already an opera fan, but also a fan with exquisite taste. Not many people get to opera via Wagner. Happy listening!
Was D.Barenboim mit der Errichtung dieses Orchesters geleistet hat, ist einfach ein unschätzbarer Beitrag zu Frieden und Versöhnung, die ja leider momentan eher nicht stattfindet! Aber dass er Wagner macht mit der grandiosen Waltraud Meier, ist ein Geschenk! Danke!
Extraordinary. I happened on this today totally out-of-the-blue. As it began, I immediately noticed the camerawork here is sheer genius. Meier and Barenboim shown displaying (without obstruction) what made/makes them the artistic lightening rods and spell-casters that they are. Every single performative detail here is individually completely fascinating and yet somehow totally subsumed into one coherent and potent whole. The extended silence at the end says it all. Thank you for this fine post.
Ich kann Daniel Barenboim nur unendlich dankbar sein, dass er dieses Orchester gegründet hat, in dem Musiker aus ursprünglich befeindeten Nationen zusammenspielen und somit eine Utopie, die schon im Finale der 9. von Beethoven ausgesprochen wird, Wirklichweit werden läßt. Und dass er das ausgerechnet mit Wagner tut - großen Dank an Waltraud Meyer - nötigt mir außerordentlich großen Respekt ab! Großartig, auch musikalisch. Viele friedliche Grüße von Klaus
Wow. Everyone is fantastic, but Waltraud Meier is especially so. There are several performances of this piece on UA-cam sung by her and all are fantastic. This version is particularly natural, as if she were speaking, but she is singing.
The Liebestodt is a high point in Western Civilization and well done to Barenboim. Yeas other conductors have done that and well done also. It is a great achievement to Barenboim, Wagner and the entire orchestra that their power has come through the flawed medium oy UA-cam to bring the essence of Wagner to us.
Incontestablement un des sommets de la musique ! IL est vrai que Wagner nous donne l'occasion d'en gravir beaucoup !!!En outre , splendide interprétation !!
Such a great performance. Ms Meier is amazing from her clear phrasing to her precise musicianship and her colorful interpretation. A truly Wagnerian artist.
Well there's die Philharmonie and Carnegie Hall, and that's it. What a wonderful, tear-invoking performance! Like many listeners here, weeping to listen and also to watch the normally impassive faces of the choir members begin to break and their eyes also well up. It is the sublimity of love in all its forms. Simply unbelievable music, a memorable performance. We thank you all
Awesome. What a tension builds up. Very good orchestra. Barenboim is and remains a great master. Magnificent. Beautiful passionate performance by Waltraud Meier.
Exquisite beyond all delicious anguish. Bravo. Brava. Bravi. Liked / subd / notif / playlists. When Meier was paired with the Great Placido Domingo in Die Walkure, it was so magical as to be nearly unbearable. Mil gracias.
Produce un placer inmenso no sólo escuchar esta música de Wagner de grandeza sin medida, sino ver a estos excelentes músicos interpretándola de manera tan perfecta y apasionada y con la dirección fantástica de Barenboim. Y la magia vocal de Waltraud cantando esta Muerte de Amor que embelesa...su Isolde es "outstanding". Vídeo para la historia!!!

I take my hat off the Wagnerian singers! It’s definitely something you can or can’t do. The power it requires to sing above the music is incredible.

Same here whenever I'm listening to this one of best-written masterpieces of heavenly sublime music!
Sheer perfection! Gloriously beautiful! That is one hard-working conductor too!
Beautiful, stirring music, performed to perfection. Apologies - I fail to describe how wonderful this is. Excellent picture and sound quality too.
Listening to this piece I can only type because it has left me speechless.
Qué gran orquesta,qué maravilla cómo canta la Meier,qué fantástico director es Daniel Barenboim,posiblemente el mejor hoy día,y por supuesto el gran creador de música Wagner.Gracias a DW.
Esta es la mejor interpretación del preludio y liebestod.
Heard her sing Kundry in San Francisco six times in 1988; didn't dare miss one. And the great Kurt Moll as Gurnemanz
A masterclass in conducting technique from Barenboim!

Brilliant!
Maravilhosa, uma verdadeira Isolda!
Spine tingling

Barenboim has done more for middle east peace than anyone in the region. He has brought together Israeli and Arab musicians to make music.
👍
And I’m so proud he’s a Brazilian Jew ❤
Really, really nice....

Da " pelle d'oca" !
Love this section of Tristan & Isolde. Parsifal and The Ring are Wagner's best works however.
I disagree
What a beautiful woman Waltraud is.
What happened to the middle 3 hours?
Dear Paul Smith,
The whole opera takes place in between. Unfortunately, only the beginning and the end were performed at this concert. But maybe one day we can acquire the rights to upload a whole Tristan. 😉
@@DWClassicalMusic I own both of the Barenboim/Meier Tristan's on Blu Ray :-) (I think the later one is probably the better one)
15:16 flat…
What a brilliant voice but I wish the camera director have focused more on her instead of weaving in and out of the orchestra.
How can a bad made as Wagner was realizied suxh beautiful music ???
What was an entire chorus doing standing around during "Tristan?"
Isn't there only a male chorus in Act 1?
These two pieces from Tristan are only a concert encore. The program of the concert was Beethoven's 9th - with the chorus. Here we are: ua-cam.com/video/HljSXSm6v9M/v-deo.html

@@margaretham5832 it's the correct way to get in :o)
Unbelievable - I mean Waltraud Meier's ability to transfiguration. Without theatre, without a costume - she IS Isolde there.
Because she is a true artist and cares about every word she sings.
@@Altonahh10I was just going to say….she feels EVERY word.

That voice is tiny to be Wagnerian.
