Part of the 2013 Proms Ring Cycle with the Staatskapelle Berlin conducted by Daniel Barenboim. A Ring for the ages.

Look at the 6 harps. Finally a performance with all the instruments Wagner intended for his Ring and which can never be used due to orchestra pits being too small. Add that to one of the best orchestras in the world and a genius on the baton. I don´t know about the singing, but the basic package is very promising ;-)

Wagners Musik ist fantastisch, demgegenüber erscheinen die Kompositionen seiner "Vorgänger" wie weichgespült. Seine Musik ist absolut präsent, direkt, impulsiv, äußerst dynamisch. Allerdings - was den ganzen Gesangsteil seiner Opern betrifft, die Arien, die kannste nahezu alle in die Tonne treten IMHO. Es gibt ganz wenige Gesangsstücke, die etwas größeren Bekanntheitsgrad erlangten, z.B. das Lied "Steuermann lass die Wacht" aus dem fliegenden Holländer dürfte einer "breiteren" Öffentlichkeit bekannt sein. Aber sonst... eher Fehlanzeige. Verglichen mit anderen Opernkomponisten eher mager. Aber wie gesagt: Seine Musik ist grandios. Wie er in Rheingold einen Sonnenaufgang intoniert: Einfach grandios. Und natürlich gibt es noch viele andere Beispiele...

At the start of this fateful music ominously creeping in, I had an eerie sense of foreboding. Then, with the 4 heavy, thunderous semiquavers, I saw Hitler barking his evil. Ultimately, Germany triumphed over their demons to become a beautiful, humanitarian and soulful country. It's all expressed in this music, as though Wagner had a prophetic vision.

@Quotenwagnerianer 6 жыл бұрын

Only thing I ask myself is, why is there only one timpanist playing. The entire ring asks for two. And each of the operas has at least two instances where they both play at the same time, the funeral march being one of them. It certainly wasn't for lack of space on stage. See the score page where it comes into play here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLd4p7yHz6mndmQ.htmlh50m8s

@LJBSasha 6 жыл бұрын

I noticed that too - yet, it seems that the other tympanist's work IS audible. Could he and that other tympani set be placed out of sight of the camera?? YES, *that's exactly what's happening* (apparently Barenboim &/or the drummers wanted the two sets to be placed at a distance from each other)!!!! If you look at a few of the other clips, you WILL see the other tympanist placed at the extreme left (e.g., Prelude to Act 3 + conclusion of Act 3 - both of "Siegfried" - all captured from another camera-angle facing from the right as opposed to this one focussing from the left)!!! WOW, now I must even more strongly mention that these clips of those performances were NOT - repeat, NOT - filmed by a professional camera-crew. Apparently Robert Newton smuggled (or was he allowed to bring it in officially?) his own video-camera into the hall. He was able to only handle taping highlights - a real pity, but yet we MUST give him credit for being able to capture as much as he did given that his videocam was hand-held (that's no fun)!!! That's why there was only one viewpoint (for "Siegfried" he was placed to the right, on the left for "Götterdämmerung") each time...

Very fine performance from all concerned - and I'd also like to applaud Mr Daniel Barenboim for thanking the orchestra, choir, solo-singers AND the audience (this last for their attentiveness and caring for what was being sung and played). All the more so given his wanting to send off the retiring concertmaster off with such caring and devotion. [The REAL reason why Barenboim didn't use the German translation of "leader" (British-English synonym for "Concertmaster") is its being "(der) *Führer* " - spoiled thanks to that monster Adolf Hitler...]

Not relevant - there are hundreds of composers who are not in the top rank (Copeland, Bernstein, Ives, Korngold etc) but they still deserve to be heard. The BBC Proms months do just that which IMHO makes your description as a 'pops' format overly harsh.

Wagner is WAGNER, and always moves, but this work was not made to be represented like that. After the war in Germany there was an unbridled interest in making an absurd "sublimation" of reality and fantasy, even disfiguring the scene to the point of absurdity. The ridiculous taken to the limit.
