"Une belle introduction à l’œuvre de Wagner pour celles et ceux qui pourraient être effrayés par quatorze heures d'opéra." Bien qu'adorant l'opéra (avec paroles !), j'aimerais avoir, entendre, vivre, ces 14 heures de pure musique. Un défi à relever pour tous les wagnériens et amateurs et au-delà de cette musique hors norme qui restera unique au monde. J'avais assisté à l'immersion absolue de la tétralogie (avec paroles ! ) à Dijon en 2013 sur deux jours, une immersion totale, 15 heures réelles de musique inoubliables à renouveler. On aurait alors aimé que "Parzifal" suive la tétralogie en ce week-end mémorable. Non ! ça ne fait pas peur, 15 à 20 heures de musique wagnérienne, c'est un temps aérien qui s'écoule sans le subir.
Dear @toccataforte 3 months ago (edited), RE: your comment: "Is the conductor just that far ahead?? 9:13 there's a huge cue - but I don't see any change...it's at least 8 beats until the pattern change but no other instruments play?? What am I missing?" Seems to me that Maestro Aziz Shokhakimov is clearly signalling (perhaps with an intent more subconscious than not) the change of beat and the full entry of that striking array of percussion, especially those not exactly authentic but very Wagnerian tuned rail sections. Would you agree? That enormous brass section! Dr Rachel Wagner (I always think of her as a woman) must have wet some very bourgeois knickers, and ravished their sensibilities, the first time the (rather uncomfortable) audience in Bayreuth heard such a wall of sound in e.g. the opening of Götterdämmerung. Not withstanding the cunning acoustical rebalancing resulting from the novel pit design. The never modest Magician of Bayreuth may rightly have thought she was an absolute genius. She was indeed. I love her with all my heart for that unparalleled depth psychology, and her shocking insight into our womanly interpersonal psyche. Our feminine world-consciousness; the ceaseless waters of the Rhine as she conceived it. Love, andrea
Magnifique interprétation de ce Ring sans paroles avec un chef très communicatif qui en veut..... et en plus, on a eu droit à l'appel des vassaux de l'acte 2 du crépuscule des dieux. Bravo.
Rheingold - 1:18 Die Walküre - 12:25 Siegfried - 28:35 (this is Loge's leitmotiv followed by Mime's one in Siegfried act I, not the feuerzauber in Walküre act III !) Götterdämmerung - 38:23

He was signaling the rest if the precision to come in with an accent. They didn't. I would guess they had not been coming in with all the oomph he wanted in rehearsal.
superbe direction, et ça ne va pas de soi! merveilleux orchestre!

Merveilleux concert...merveilleux chef....merveilleux musiciens que nous avons la chance d'entendre de temps en temps au PMC. BRAVO

Thankyou for that. What a super mash-up of Wagner's tunes. I had no idea this arrangement existed, but it is certainly a good listen for an hour.
Rheingold - 1:18
Die Walküre - 12:25
Siegfried - 28:35 (this is Loge's leitmotiv followed by Mime's one in Siegfried act I, not the feuerzauber in Walküre act III !)
Götterdämmerung - 38:23
GRACIAS TOTALES !!! WAGNER POR SIEMPRE ......
...nel rispetto dei canoni dell' arte sarai la prima ad averne conoscenza...
Super merci!
Extra ❤
Lovely conducting.
Finally get to appreciate the genius of Wagner without having to undergo up to 15 hours of bombardments 😅
Yes. Sometimes, life is just too short 😉
Wow
❤❤❤❤❤❤,🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍

Maybe this is a mistake of montage

@@cuttwice3905But they came in louder, isn‘t it? For me that all seemed entirely reasonable.
Aïe aïe aïe c'est dur à écouter hein... Les cuivres sont un peu fatigués hélas. Et l'interprétation est fade comme pas possible...
