    In my opinion this is the most beautiful version that I've ever heard. As a cynical OAP, it brought tears to my eyes. I hope it is played when they bury me in some English Churchyard.

    I love this song. When you hear it it makes you feel powerful. You come out with a sense of strength you've never felt before. Its one of the greatest things i've ever experienced!

    Performed an arrangement for brass quintet of this piece at my friend's funeral. Beautiful piece. Beautiful service. Will miss him.

    Once more ye fair, flowr'y meadows I greet
    My Pilgrim's staff henceforth may rest
    Since Heaven's sweet peace is within my breast.
    The sinner's `plaint on high was heard
    On high was heard and answered by the Lord
    The tears I laid before His shrine
    Are turned to hope and joy divine.
    O Lord eternal praise be Thine!
    The blessed source of Thy mercy overflowing
    On souls repetant seek Ye, all-knowing
    Of hell and death, I have no fear
    O my Lord is ever near
    Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
    Forevermore

    Das ist eines der besten und ergreifendsten Musikstücke die ich je gehört habe. Es zwingt einen auf die Knie und es steigt ein Gebet auf von ganz alleine. Das vermag nur die echte wahre Musik !

    The first time I heard of this piece was when I was to play a brass quartet arrangement of it. Naturally, I looked it up, and since then (about 5 months ago), I have listened to this particular recording no less than 3 times a week.
    To fit my emotions within the character limit, it will have to suffice to say: I am thoroughly moved by this piece-- more so than by any other piece I've ever listened to.

    The first time I listened to this I thought it was okay.
    Now it makes me contemplate life, and man, and the impact we have the universe, and how insignificant we are compared to this great and terrible beauty that is humanity.
    Now it makes me cry.

    @olivleonardo Wagner's version of Tannhauser is called the Dresden version. The Paris version was rewritten to fit the conventions of operas held at the Paris Opera House. These conventions require a ballet scene somewhere in the opera. Wagner chose to add some dancing to the baccanalia scene from the beginning of the first act in the Venusberg section. In order to add that (about 30 minutes more in length), he shortened it by dropping some parts of the song contest in Act II.

    @cordfluidnevoie No, Franz Lizst was his father in Law. He married Cosima, Lizst's illegitimate daughter. He was hugely connected and all of the musical greats visited him including Tchaikovsky, Clara and Robert Schumann and Mahler. No matter what his politics, we cannot ignore his genius. He also cannot be blamed for his infamous dog loving, vegetarian, teetotalarian, non smoking, mass murdering fan

    Yes everybody should buy this CD DG Bayreuth Chorus under Wilhelm Pitz. Fantastic program . Never equalled, particularly "Seht, ein Schwan" . I guess a stage performance can never reach such perfection, since the Chorus members on stage
    cannot all stare at the conductor continuously, but when making a recording yes.

    Princess Elina. I agree. I hate anything that is not opera and I am partial to Wagner and R. Strauss. I use to go all the time to The Met. Now, sad to say we may loose our condo to my Mom nursing home. I may have to give up the opera unless I can get a Corporate Bail Out. I saw this opera back when I was a teen. Loved it ever since

    Can we appreciate the irony that is Wagner's music....So nationalistic in nature yet he was a revolutionary, who was exiled from Germany. Magnificent!

  • @bobmattfran
    @bobmattfran 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @violinthief I couldn't agree with you more. Sadly there appear to be a selection of sick people on this iste which is supposed to be dedicated to listening to classical music. We have an obnoxious political party here in the UK who delight in similar racist views and comments. Their world must consist of living in the dark. Wagner's music has to taken for what it is an amazing creation of instrumental and vocal music, thank you for your excellent recording.

    Ukochany utwór mego Ojca. Zawsze chciał żeby tę kompozycję grano mu na pogrzebie. Przepiękna, pełna religijnej ekstazy pieśń. Szczególnie ten okrzyk "Allelujah", świadczy o głębokim zaangażowaniu Wagnera w mistyczną treść opery.

    •  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Naprawdę warto. Był to kompozytor, który daleko wybiegł przed swoje stulecie. Genialny twórca wiekiej opery niemieckiej i nowoczesnej instrumentacji.

    I could be wrong, but is it possible that instead of playing the pilgrims' chorus as it appears in the beginning of act 3, they took the beginning and sort of fused it to the finale around 3:30? I really like it this way actually.

    @Kuner1 It is a regrettable period for the Church and whomever may have been hurt by such attitudes that you mentioned. I believe that many of us, Jews and Christians, have moved past the prejudice that prevailed then, Today, as Israel faces the greatest threat of all, annihilation, Christians are united in unconditional support for her defense. It is the secular left that is trying to drive the wedge between us.
