- Lohengrin: Jonas Kaufmann, Elsa von Brabant: Anette Dasch, Ortrud: Evelyn Herlitzius, Heinrich der Vogler: René Pape
Orchestra and Choir of Teatro Alla Scala conducted by Daniel Barenboim
Director: Claus Guth
So beautiful and so emotional. Some singers focus only on their beautiful sound, and others emphasize the acting (usually to cover up vocal defects). Kaufmann has the vocal beauty and intense character.
I agree
Besser gehts nicht.
To my surprise, Kaufmann has said in interviews that it’s quite difficult for him to sing in German, his native language. But he explained that Wagner uses a very old style of language, not modern German, and it would be like English-speakers trying to sing the Saint James Bible!
wie wunderbar.jonas kaufmann ist ein grossartiger Künstler.
Many decades ago when I was in high school and chorus was just fun and an easy 'elective' credit . . . it never occurred to me that singing could get to be so good and that people would love the singing and music accompanying to do so much with stage sets for those singers. Makes it all so much more real.
merveilleux JONAS merci ! c'est magnifique , une jolie voix! !
Amazing... I'm crying....
This is peerless, iconic, and marvelous!!!! No one even touches this Lohengrin!
Ohne worte...
I agree to 100%.
Formidable !!!!! Bravo Jonas !!!!
Man kann diese Szene immer wieder sehen und hören, es ist jedesmal ein Genuss. Bravo Jonas❤❤❤
I think it's a great and thoughtful production. It catches the romantic spirit of Lohengrin.
The greatest living singer alltogether with Rene Pape
Je désespèrais t'entendre un jour Wagner chanté ainsi sur scène ! Domingo s'y était essayé assez brillamment, Peter Hoffmann avait également cette noirceur de timbre si différente aux oreilles des habitués de Bayeuth depuis tant d'années. Quel talent qui suppose un travail harassant et de nombreux sacrifices privés pour en arriver à un tel niveau d'excellence. Admiration absolue. Vielen Dank Herr Kaufmann
je ne sais pas ce qui est le plus beau : la musique de Wagner, le chant désespéré de Jonas kaufmann, les pieds nus et l'émotion pure qui s'en dégage.... wonderful...
C'est un tout Helene ! Belle soirée !

Потрясающе ! Браво ! Йонас - лучший исполнитель Лоэнгрина !
His singing expresses Lohengrin!s nature beautifully this is a moving portrayal and valid to my ears. I am also moved by the live and studio efforts of Sensor Konya. He expressed the tenderness and had strength and color of voice to express the important public side of the character.
This video of Lohengrin in simply the best ever recorded, and Mr Kaufman the greatest Lohengrin one can see live on stage in video … sublime … we are so lucky to live at the time where such an artist is among us … !!!
Dominique Rousselle You have to hear Peter Anders singing "In fernem Land" Kaufmann doesnt even come close to him in every way. :/
Tk you ... I'd love to make this experience and I will if he is on TH-cam ....
Geron1mo1 I listen to it ... I have no doubts about the fact that some singers of the past can rival with Kaufman in this aria ... that's why I was writing "the greatest Lohengrin ONE CAN SEE LIVE ON STAGE IN VIDEO" ... but even then ... there is an "inner fire" projected by Kaufman that I couldn't find here ... it's very nice singing but the top notes are somehow short/restricted ... (e.g. 4.52 ...) ... and it brings a feeling of being pushing a bit ... anyway opera is also a performing art in my view... and a lively one ... and therefore one can spend his all life listening to his favorite artists in LP CD or any other media ... but then this will not lead anywhere if one is not opening to new artists ... of course one is becoming more "difficult" as one is accumulating more "references" .... but although I think I have some I can greatly enjoy when a new real great singer is emerging ... and Kaufman is one of those without any doubt ... Thanks God there is nothing like a "single" truth that exists in the operatic realm ... and I know by my own experience that not only different so called "knowledgeable" people can have a different - often opposite - opinion about this or that .... but that one is himself going thru periods of time where one is immensely attracted toward a certain singer/voice (I could not unstick from Callas for years and it took me long to finally get in real touch with some others "goodies" like Miss Caballe, L Price or Sutherland ...) and even now I have some difficulties to listen to anyone else that Leonie Rysanek in some parts that have been associated with her during so many years (Sieglinde, the Empress, Kotshelnika ... ) or Renée (Manon, Marshallin, ...) so there is nothing like a static and single truth ... ;) ... thanks anyway because I did not know this singer ...
Dominique Rousselle !rien à écrire
I agree with you totally. Thank you for your comments.
Beautiful! One of my favourite Wagner arias AND the wonderful voice of the stunning Jonas Kaufmann!! Thank you!
Meine e r s t e HELDEN -Oper, die ICH mit 11 Jahren ! gesehen habe.......❗️❣️❗️❤️
❗️👍❗️❣️❗️❤️❗️🙏❗️❤️❗️❣️❗️👍❗️........................nie sollst DU mich befragen
Oh my.. No, THIS is his best Lohengrin, even better than in Munich. The sheer perfection of his vocal timbre here is mind-boggling. Not sure there has ever been as smooth, rich and velvety a tenor voice. And the acting.. 'Oh Elsa!' has so much heart-wrenching pain in it that it is almost too difficult to watch. Blown away.
ArtShouldBeBeautiful Great shame, though, that he's sacrificed his family for all these achievements. That is most certainly nicht gut at all. A very serious case of putting the temporary above the eternal. Stardom is truly a huge temptation few can withstand against, and unfortunately classical musicians are no exception. If you look at the lives of even just the great conductors of the last century or so, how many managed to have a lifelong commitment? Maybe about 10%. And worst of all, in our fallen world this seems to be considered almost heroic by many, yet in reality it is a deep spiritual tragedy that casts long shadows over many lives because it is a serious contradiction to God's will, and the less it seems to affect the person in question in their other endeavors, the more somber the picture because speaks of a sad state of the soul. A sad consequence of idolatry, music being the idol. I pray he abandons this pretty new woman and returns to make his family whole again. With your priorities back in order, Jonas, though you are great, you will be even better, and for longer. And most importantly you will end the lifelong tragedy you are inevitably causing your children.
+ArtShouldBeBeautiful Ha! Nennst du deine feigheit Gott?
+Richard Hartley (Well, this is a quote from Lohengrin, that is all)
Jonas Kaufmann, cariñito, precioso, este Lohengrin, aparte, me profesionalizaste, en, la Scala de Milán, un in fernem Land, sublime, por, lo demás, pilar paco, un Lohengrin bravo!!!
Of course, JK's 2012 LaScala season's opening performance of Lohengrin is a real masterpiece and it is my treasure. But it's so good to have this last segment separately (so that I don't have to play the whole thing). Thank you Dua Lipa for posting this.
Stupenda l'aria di Lohengrin, piena di tristezza e di forza trattenuta. Non credo si trovino molte interpretazioni di questo livello.
La versión más bella que he podido escuchar ..💖🌹🌹
Great final aria - Radames, Aida and Amneris! Brilliant!
Die Beste Interpretation die ich gehört haben-- Einfach alles TOLL -- Schauspielerhafte Interpretieren.. Gefühlsvoll und die Tonlagen alles im Einklang. Die Höhen die Tiefen das Gefühl IMMER richtig eingesetzt..
Lulu blablabla Das ist grausam, Im Bayreuth hätte man ihn früher garnicht singen lassen, wenn doch Peter Anders sein Vorbild war, warum hat nichts angenommen von diesem Jahrhundertsänger
Liebe Lulu, wenn sie Ahnung haben von Stimme und Gesang bin ich der Ururururenkel von Brahms und Clara Schumann.
Hay interpretaciones dónde el espíritu se transmite.....bravo!!!
LA PASION EMOCION,DULZURA QUE JONAS DESPLIEGA EN ESTA ARIA LO CONVIERTEN EN EL SUPREMO INTERPRETE DE LOHENGRIN ......
Je l'apprécie beaucoup dans ce répertoire. Il est parfait. Cela tient aussi à sa façon de chanter avec l'arrière de la gorge. Cela donne une onctuosité irrésistible à ses pianissimi.❤️
wonderful ♥
Yes, I have the whole video of this production for the LaScala season's opening in Nov-Dec 2012. This is a weird production directed by Claus Guth, very very psychological interpretation and need a lot of guessing. But JK was wonderful (as usual) as Lohengrin. Anette Dasch, stepping in at the last minute in place of Anja Harteros, did a wonderful job. Of course she had sung this with JK in 2010 at Bayreuth and also in 2011. But the interpretation of almost psychopath Elsa was difficult and she was very convincing. Lohengrin was barefoot from the beginning to the end except for a short duration at the wedding. I was worried that JK might catch a cold or flu, walking in the water in Act III. Oh, what opera singers have to do to be good and credible as characters the directors dream up with!
Hanako5100 Yes, I agree. I don't get this whole thing with the physical torture of the singers - why you would want to make them physically even in the least bit uncomfortable when they're working so hard?? I don't know that walking in water (it's probably warmed) can bring on illness, but certainly can't imagine it being comfortable, which i would think can cause stress and tension. I mean there's soooo much you can do to create drama, but these directors just have no imagination, not artistry, they go for the jugular, the cheap eccentricity effect. But considering this sounds like maybe Kaufmann's best Lohengrin ever, seems he dealt with all of it just fine. However to me the whole production just looks ugly, and bare feet totally don't jive with the beautiful music, but what are you going to do - that's the trend. The Munich one was even uglier - a stage full of sloppy looking tee-shirt clad weekenders. Sorry, the plumber look is just completely at odds with Wagner's music. Tasteless and awful.

Superbe et très émouvant !!!
Heavenly!
this is superb
Una de las actuaciones más impactantes a las que he podido asistir en mi vida.
Vom Himmel eine Taube...wie du das singst!!!So wunderschön,immer Träne über meine Wangen....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
So beautiful.
Woderbar😊❤❤
could enjoy the première in Paris Bastille. The performance in Milano seems still better
nevertheless, listening at the pianissimi notes (on Taube and ) is a tremendous experience
Qesto vecchio voce E PRESENZA mai in ordine Pensa e hipnozzia LE MASSA. In Verita mi da Fastiglio sempre in MIO YOU tube. Non vale né ieri né oggi né mai niente :Brullenter Kaufmann. Sparisci dal MIO YOU tube PER SEMPRE. MARTA DARDAY
Tip for you: Don‘t watch his vids and don‘t comment and he will vanish. 🙃
Jonas the best Lohengrin I ever see .
I love this version set in the US during the Civil War
christina picard guitariste prof Normandie: un coeur, une présence magnifique, j'aime !!! merci merci bisou masqué ! et au plaisir de te revoir prochainement
Extraordinary
Lohengrin, der Scheiternde... Sehr interessant.
Surreal!
Grandi interpreti di una opera bellissima purtroppo sciupata da una regia sciagurata e fuorviante.
Wunderbare Stimme !
It is a difficult task to comment this due to the beauty of the piece. Kaufman is for sure one of the best Lohengrin of our days. However there are more convincing performance by him in the same role. I am not convinced at all by the direction of Baremboim. Baremboim is/was a great pianist but he is overestimate as a conductor.
+Renzo Mosetti Agree completely on Barenboim. I don't like his rendition of Fidelio either! I get the sense that his prominence on the German music scene has more to do with politics than with music.
Agree entirely re Barenboim. Time to take his rest.
maravilloso que belleza
Wunderbar ...
Was ist an dem Knödler wunderbar?
Der braucht einen guten Gesangslehrer!
Jonas Kaufmann, es, el caballero cisne, su poema adaptado, a la escena, la música compuesta por el, adaptaciones. Una parte de Bayreuth es, de Jonas Kaufmann, aunque, aquí le digan, el tenorcillo. Aparte especialista en Wagner. Realmente, es un sincero poeta.!!!
magnificent
Any slower and he'd fall asleep singing! The long drawn-out Taaaaaaauuube is dangerously close to kitsch.
Di questo brano esistono una trentina di interpreti migliori di Kaufmann qui su youtube !!! Tra l'altro è in evidente difficoltà nella parte finale...per i tempi che corrono Kaufmann è un fenomeno !!! Negli anni d'oro degli heldentenor avrebbe fatto il comprimario!!! saluti
+giampierone010
è vero.
Magico
La piu male voce io so, Franz, Vienna
SIMPLY SUBLIME ON EVERY LEVEL
Hier ein Kompliment an KFV. In dieser Scene macht er das denkbar Beste.
well so Parsifal is Lohengrin's father. Who then is his mother? is it Kundry? or Amfortas (just saying)
Kaufmann dovrebbe cantare esclusivamente Wagner.
Wann hat man schon mal einen so schönen Lohengrin gesehen? Ist doch großartig, wie er da im Schilf kniet und leidet.
Sein überdunkeltes Timbre ist auch Geschmacksache, vor allem hat er aber ein total sichere Höhe. Nicht umsonst hat er sich so lange schon gehalten.
Dagegen ist doch die Ortrud einfach gräßlich , fast schon eine Stimmruine.
Auf der anderen Seite ein Pavarotti mit dem klein gehaltenen Ton und dem klanglosen Piano hat mir auch nicht immer gefallen.
Where do you find a copy of this production?
super!!!
Extremer Hörschaden
Io davvero non so più cosa pensare. Capisco che un certo pubblico non molto esperto possa apprezzare una Netrebko, che senza dubbio è una bella donna e ha un mezzo vocale timbricamente importante. Ma i deliri che suscita questa vociaccia ingolata, brutta, baritonale, acida, sgraziata e disomogenea, oltretutto ulteriormente guastata da una pronuncia che in italiano è semplicemente improbabile e in tedesco è viziata da pesanti inflessioni dialettali, vorrei capirli ma non ci arrivo!
Kaufmann ha fatto di un difetto la sua pregiata cifra stilistica. Là dove manca di tecnica compensa con il carisma e l' espressività.
Danke Schon!
Татьяна, Вы наверное хотели сказать "Dankeschön", да???!!!
SULLA REGIA NON HO COMMENTI!!!!!!! SI ESPRIME DA SOLA!!!!!! Bellissime voci, benissimo Baremboim, ma.................
+60bui La regia l'ho trovata invece molto valida. I personaggi costruiti in modo splendido, come (purtroppo) raramente capita di vedere nei teatri; efficaci e forti come figure simboliche ma al tempo stesso concreti e credibili come personaggi "umani" autentici (cosa che per me è è essenziale, molto più di qualsiasi successiva lettura più o meno simbolica si voglia fare).
Air culte pour Jonas Merci 🙏
@@nicoleheliot3464 Ha un timbro scuro, ma l'espressione non si discute.
Und ich dorfte es miterleben
Lauritz Melchior was the greatest Lohengrin. Followed by Jess Thomas. Then James King. Then Peter Hoffman. That is all.
SymphonyBrahms , never.
And John Vickers. And Kerle and a lot.
Favoloso!
super Stimmer und sexy Mann, Daumen nach oben
Ein Traum für einen OPERNLEIBHABER/IN --und Wagnerfan zu erleben...
Das Gefühl immer die richtige in TONlage und TONgefühl zu treffen. Immer klar zu verstehen.
Leider sind die Soprane nur schrill und ihm nicht ebenbürtig.. Was soll dieses schreien ohne Gefühl rüber zu bringen das man Leiden. J-Kraus macht es ihnen doch vor..Gefühlsausdrücke zu dosieren.
Was haben sie mit den Ohren. Dieser Knödler gefällt ihnen? Der braucht einen Gesangslehrer.
Wird er beim Singen gewürgt, der Arme??
Man vergleiche mal hier:
th-cam.com/video/iK5mB72IRwI/w-d-xo.html
(Wolfgang Windgassen)
+Matthias Stockert Auch nicht perfekt? Vielleicht beide gleichzeitig/abwechselnd? Das wäre mal was!
...er würgt sich selbst. Das ist das technische Problem bei Kaufmann.
Gutes Stimmmaterial aber einfach ungenügend ausgebildet, die unschönen technischen Mankos bleiben leider und führen mittelfristig auch zu Stimmbandproblemen.
...leider nicht, ich meine erwürgt...
herrlich wie die ganzen möchtegernsänger ihre unqualifizierten kommentare abgeben. neid ist schon was schlimmes.
Assolutamente grandioso!
Lohengrin by the bushes? in a swamp? no way! too much disrespect to Wagner work
No, it was beautiful!! It isn't a swamp, it's a reed bed by the rive...don't forget this is all supposed to take place on the banks of the River Scheldt.
no, per quanto Kaufmann sia MERAVIGLIOSO, io QUESTA REGIA NON LA REGGO!!!
Io amo tanto la regia........
Glucks, glucksglucks, glucks, glucks, ... glucks, gluglucks ...
.... und knödel, knödel, knödel, die Vokale in der Höhe ab Mezzavove fallen zurück und verfärben sich zu unnatürlichem Klang.
That Ortrud is on another planet, though. yikes
Im not a fan of kaufmann. Ive heard him before and was not impressed. But here he surpises me. His tone is very dark and since the volume is lower and his interpretation more understated as befits the music im impressed. But as soon as he starts projecting more the lovely tone is gone. For me there was only one who sang this revealing its true music. Melchior.
jonas kaufmann is great; i really don't like the semi realistic staging
I watched this production live in Teatro alla Scala. Kauffman was a real god, Barenboim was superb, but the stage production by Klaus Guth was terrible, one of the worst examples of modern production
Don't agree at all , I thought it was a beautiful production.
Dire que j'ai attendu plus de 30 ans un chanteur capable d'exprimer toute la poésie et la détresse de ce rôle écrasant toute en musicalité et densité ! quel talent, quelle prouesse et quel travail dans l'abnégation cela suppose = respect und vielen Dank mein sehr geehrter Herr Jonas
I drove almost 4hrs alone, on a cold winter day, to see a screening of this performance. I'd do it again -- and especially for this sequence. It remains in my memory as one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and happy moments of my life. Thank you JK, thank you theaters for screening it, (however far from me), thank you for posting this clip. You made my day.
guessing you weren't on horseback, but in a heated car, so forgive me if you don't get a high score on my sympath-o-meter for that four hour trip through such brutally cold conditions
@@Marcel_Audubonx
A wonderful Opera, a wonderful tenor....
Impressionnant de maîtrise vocale et de souffle, ne parlons pas de la diction et de la justesse, tout est bien en place, chant et douceur, émotion de l'âme, on peut parler du miracle Kaufmann !
Jonas is beautiful to listen to, and beautiful to look at. Beautiful all the way.(This is Hanako's guest Trudy. )
...naht vom Himmel eine Taube - wunderbar gesungen Herr Kaufmann! - die meisten Klassikspezialisten schwärmen bei einem Stück meist von einer Referenzdarbietung und stören sich dann daran, daß andere Sänger dann halt anders klingen, anstatt sich zu freuen, daß es mehrere Darbietungen gibt. Ein Faszinosum, daß ich immer und immer wieder nur bei den Klassikfans finde, diese Haarspaltereien sind nervig.
Eine großartige Interpretation u. Leider nur einmalig ....von j.Kaufmann !!! R.Pusch.
Jonas is the perfect knight in a terrible imperfect world... He is Parsifal and he is Lohengrin .....the music is unsurpassed and his interpretation stunning. I am always so moved by this that by the time he starts mein lieber I am weeping so much that I cannot see the screen(not a bad thing) and my blurred vision can conjur up all those visions that Wagner wanted us to see. I just love this.
Me too. I saw this production in Paris and I was in tears. Deeply moved not only by his voice but his moving interpretation of the knight lost in a world that doesn’t understand what his mission is and want to destroy him. Kaufmann is great to interpret that wounded purity. Wonderful. A great Lohengrin . ❤️❤️❤️
@@catherinecozzano2580 -- Well-put.....BRAVO from Acapulco!
@@steveegallo3384 Lucky you in Acapulco! Paris is less glamorous at the moment with the winter time.
❤😅
Acapulco is less glamorous now with the hurricane.
Splendide et inoubliable. Quelle merveille. Merci Jonas Kaufmann. C'est sublime.
Incredible- so GLORIOUS and absolutely MAGNIFICENT .
I saw him do this live in Melbourne Australia a couple of years back - extraordinary
Best production of Lohengrin I've seen in years. Modern, yet not too much so. Jonas' singing is perhaps only surpassed by Schocks Lohengrin in 1953, but just by an inch or less ... He is truly stunning (Jonas)!
Immonde. Ce n'est pas Lohengrid. Escroquerie.
what a beautiful couple of Lohengrin and Elsa... for ears and eyes
I LOVE THIS DIVINE VOICE !!! BRAVO Dear, Dear, ENDLESS Dear Jonas Kaufmann !!! Your eternal FAN Nadya Mirkova from Sofia - Bulgaria
Nadeto dear, take a deep breath and relax!!!
he comparado esta interpretacion con otros cantantes son buenas pero la calidad los matices la dulzura dl Sr. JK me emociona me hace llorar Es unico para mi que voz tan bella
Ich nehme mir die positiven Dinge aus Kaufmanns Gesang mit und allen voran steht die unvergleichliche Verständlichkeit für seine Figuren, was vor allem bei Tenören nicht gängig der Fall ist. Er durchdringt ihre Motive intellektuell und emotional und schafft dafür ein sehr breites Spektrum an musikalischem Ausdruck. Und liebe Puristen - das kann nun mal kaum jemand. Dass er "knödelt" höre ich auch. Dass seine Lyrismen oft in die Kopfstimme gehen, kann ich nicht leiden. Und trotzdem rührt er mich bei allem, was er singt.
Altonahh10 what does it mean “knodelt” ?
....knodeln: Throaty, covered, like you have something solid in your throat which blocks the free flowing sound....
I was there several days later when fantastic Anja Harteros recovered and finally unveiled her Elsa. And Herr Kaufmann of course... all the poetry of german culture is here
Terrific couple, unforgettable moments!!!
By the way Rene Papè was a bit out of his voice
I loved this performance....the staging, singing, everything.
has potatoes in his mouth?
One of very greatest voices of this century. What a perfect Wagner voice - or better to say near perfect voice for most opera.
Indeed
Herr Kaufmann, PLEASE, if you must sing Wagner now, stick with this (Lohengrin)
Parsifal, maybe Eric in Holländer, perhaps (?) Walther. This here is really wonderful
but stay clear of TRISTAN, SIEGFRIED, & TANNHEUSER for the moment, anyway. Your SIEGMUND is also fine, so I hear, but its a bit low for the tenor, like
MAX in DER FREISCHÜTZ (which suits you very well in some ways) so PLEASE
be careful!
stay clear of Tristan? have you heard his Wesendonck Lieder? He'll be the best Tristan ever. It's too bad the best Isolde (Waltraud Meier) is now too old to be his co-star.
Comparing the relative challenges of TRISTAN & the WESENDONCK Lieder is bit like attempting to move from ALFREDO
(LA TRAVIATA) to OTELLO & surviving
the results.
I agree.
Barbara Baker Barbara Baker agrees.
Ein guter Tenor muss wissen( oder sollte wissen) was gut für seine Stimme ist. Er kann nicht irgendwas singen! Fritz Wunderlich wusste das, und hat sich eisern daran gehalten. Darum hat er auch noch kaum Wagner gesungen, nur den Steuermann und Walther von der Vogelweide. Er starb ja durch einen Treppensturz vor seinem 36. Geburtstag. Für mich, der beste Tenor den es jemals gab und je geben wird, aber natürlich, das ist Geschmacksache.
