Tautusian, that's a great vision! But unfortunately most conductors don't do the funeral in a proud and triumphant way anymore. They pluck this great piece of music into pieces until the music almost comes to a standstill. It's supposed to be a march, but it's hardly played that way anymore. I only heard this funeral march once as it should be played - and it was breath taking and completely overwhelming. I think the reason for this development is the ideological misuse of Wagner's music during the Third Reich. I understand this - but it's a pity nevertheless.
I saw this Ring production in Bayreuth. Having Wotan and Brünnhilde come on stage was a stroke of genius and the most moving moment of the whole Ring for me
This is one of the greatest Rings ever. What genius to have Anne Evans and John Tomlinson come on stage to pay homage during the Funeral March. This Ring is so intelligent and so human. I love it.
And that was something only possible in Bayreuth. Nowhere else would the singer of Wotan be persuaded to have an appearence in an opera he is actually not in. As I was not there to see it live, I wonder though if that isn't a one time action only. Specifcally shot for the Video. The cut at the end seems to suggest it.
@@Quotenwagnerianer No, Wotan did appear on stage, but it looks like John Tomlinson did it for the Video. When I saw ist in Bayreuth it was an extra, not himself.
@@ibizaking In former times it was that the singers stayed in Bayreuth for the whole summer. But not anymore, some of them are leaving for singing at different places.
I love music.. wagner especially.. seeing the post battle anguish from seigfried and upon him falling to his knees brunhilde appears ... absolutely nothing compares to that .
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the cinema of the 1870s. Much better sound quality (original orchestra right in front of you) and actors do their job live on stage. Not that prefilmed shite we have today projected onto a bedsheet.
True, Wagner created the cinema but ,as you imply, he dealt with the noblest thoughts and emotions of humanity. Some say all of humanity is encompassed in The Ring.Bayreuth is a holy place.
Yeah we are living in the era that John Williams has been praised to the skies while stealing music from other great composers in the past and POP TRASH + RAP SHIT + GARBAGE RnB are the most popular, how in the hell such braindead music has found their way to the top nowadays?

1. Furtwangler: Siegfried's Funeral March from Gotterdammerung SLOW MOVING?????????? | THE MUSIC IS SO STRONG, LIKE GIVING YOU A MENTAL PUNCH, A SLAP ON THE FACE… YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HIT YOU! SCORE 9.75 OF 10 2. KLEMPERER - Götterdämmerung, Siegfried's funeral march - WAGNER, SAME SLOW TEMPO. SCORE 9.25 OF 10 3. Richard Wagner - Götterdämmerung - Twilight of the gods, (mitjanus) FASTER, SCORE 9.65 OF 10
With the first anniversary of the death of the great soprano Patricia Janeckova just around the corner, "Siegfried's Funeral Music " would be appropriate for a gala concert in Patricia's memory.
@silverbud dear silverbud, thank you for your reply, but if you want to see the history of music, you can read that written i'm a nobody, but i love all musica and i rememember to you that is not difficult to find a new melody, but is difficult to find the right armonisation for a melody carlo
Wagner did not look like a hero. Very short and small in stature. But he is the hero of my life who got me through 30 years of troubles and is still going strong
I am from Germany. Playing „Götterdämerung“ or other Wagner-Parts on an puplic Funeral you and the visitors will called Nazis. Hitler worshipped Wagner. Our past is our destiny.
Not sure if you’re criticizing that fact that you would be called nazi for doing that or supporting it. But Germans must not be embarrassed by their past anymore if they want to be a coherent people that exist beyond this next decade. We must take the good from the bad and not judge our ancestors so harshly
Take it easy bro...Wagner is the best music ever written...No amount od political correctness wont change that fact..and so what if AH liked and worshiped Wagner..many others did... Here in Croatia in Rijeka we play regulary some Wagner pieces.. Best regards and chill put😎💪💪🎶🎶🤙🤙
Actually it was not really Manhattan. The Production startet in a worldwide desaster and at the end there was next catastrophe. Mankind won´t learn. But at the very end a small boy took a small girl, let the other people behind the curtain and he flashes her and him the way with a flashlight. So there is hope!
You're forgiven, now, Siegfried. They were never going to be convinced until you left it all behind. A ravenous beast . . . the many-headed beast that is life.
Seen live in the Festspielhaus was even more dramatic. The sense of guilt of Wagnerian characters was made evident as only a great stage director can do. More directors like these, and STOP with the politically correct sellers of banality.
If that were true, he obviously didn't understand what the Ring was saying -- that absolute power currupts absolutely and can cause the destruction of all humanity.
I want this to be played on my funeral. Not sad, not grievous, but a majestic proud end to my time on earth
You may want to hear Chopin's Funeral March before you decide. th-cam.com/video/5NKMk8IpcV8/w-d-xo.html

So lucky to be there/get in Bayreuth.
I must admit this is the only Wagner I've listened to. Methinks I must hear some more. Incredibly dramatic, fabulous stuff!
Tannhauser overture is somewhat similar to this and is great

ein phänomenaler Trauermarsch....ein Meisterstück der Komposition und der Musikgeschichte...

yeah wagner was the first film director... the first one that understood that all the arts must be combined to tell a story (gesamtkunstwerk)

yes and the "shit" is accessible to the masses, whereas the opera never was. well maybe a shitty opera was, but that would defeat your point
Only one man was worthy enough to have this played at his funeral: Richard wagner
un grande tema, colpo di genio wagneriano incommensurabile, come disse strawinsky della donna è mobile dal rigoletto di verdi !
carlo
Indeed one of the very, very few productions were the stage action could keep up with the music.
ahhh just finished listen to this whole opera ...gosh im sad its already over
Entendo que uma das melodias mais tristes que ja ouvi. Wagner realmente é um grande genio.
Impresionante composición que no me canso de escuchar.
Una lettura superba!! Nessuna sbavatura dell’ orchestra.
Я, пожилой русский, меломан. Люблю все родное, но... Вила Лобос, Ода к радости Шиллера в 9-й Бетховена и далее, как говорят-по тексту - все мое любимое. Вагнера просто обожаю, возможно в соприкосновениями с нотками моей души...
Superb acting through voice and body!
Thank you for uploading this!
Seems more faithful to Wagnerian concepts of hugeness and such...me likey!
Cool conception!
4:13 onwards is pure joy
The point where Wotan throws his spear into the grave coordinated with the build up of the full orchestra is off the chart.

The ensemble’s power is second to none. Nobody plays this piece like the Germans!

Siegfried in Manhattan? I was waiting for the 5th Avenue bus to go by. And Brunhilda rides into the flames in a Yellow Cab?

@@madamemedusa6929 are you okay?
@@BatDadx I´m fine, thanks. Why you are asking?
Hoods and flack jackets--doesn't work for me. Way too dark.
Squeaky rubber motifs had to be written into the score.
'Arayan' was what was available. I don't think that is what it's about.

Trop de coupure la plus muavaise vidéo vu à ce jour
The Sun rise also.
No, Götterdämerung means the dusk.
@@robincalamy6980神々の黄昏😅
This was Hitlers favorite opera, I can tell why
diego arevalo nope it wasn't! Jesus learn your shit. Hint: Rienzi.
Not Hitler's favorite. He loked Rienzi and The Merry Widow. If Hitler understood anything at all about The Ring, he would have despised it.
@@Tautusian Hitler actually said towards the end of his life that Tristan und Isolde was Wagner’s greatest opera.
If that were true, he obviously didn't understand what the Ring was saying -- that absolute power currupts absolutely and can cause the destruction of all humanity.
