Meyerbeer is like the most underrated composer
Meyerbeer certainly certainly deserves much more attention free from all bad PR !!
As a sometimes-fan of classical music, I agree. Just because he was Jewish, doesn't mean he was devoid of talent. Although that explains why I'd never heard of him back when I was really into operatic melodies - I only became aware of him after learning he's my distant relative.
@@zbr76 Who besides perhaps Hilter would claim that Jewish people have no talent??? Most of the successful performers of Classical music in the 20th century were Jewish, not to mention composers such as Gershwin, Copelin, Bernstein . . .
@@erika6651 Wagner, after being Meyerbeer's student, slagged him off because he thought the student had become the master and was jealous of Meyerbeer's popularity.
The best attention is the Renaissance of his works on all the world stages in the past 20 years. So many productions of Les Huguenots or Le Prophète, which not so long ago, had a reputation of being unperformable due to the large (and excellent) cast required, the chorus parts, the overall length, etc... It seems that now every "respectable" opera house (except the Met !) feels an obligation to program Les Huguenots !!!
Gorgeous!!!!
so calming
memorable music with a great finish (around 12.45 onwards).
The play was probably about Johann Friedrich Struensee, who became the personal physician of King Christian VII of Denmark, who was mentally ill, and proceeded to take over the government of Denmark for two years while having an extended affair with the Queen. He was finally overthrown and executed.
AML2000 - you can delete the “probably”.
obrigada
He could have done wonders for modernisation of Denmark at that time.
Much better than that other guy, the one with the ring...
Why not both?
Frodo?
Why? That is like saying "Haydn is much better than Beethoven". At least give us a reason to why you believe this..
@@erika6651 No, he is talking about Wagner.
@@SunTzuEmpire1 I know, I was being a wise butt lol
😊
Repetitive, labored at times, but not without some interesting ideas and dissonances. Good horninest to it.
Yeah, I think it's beautiful but can be trimmed down a little bit.
