The first time I heard Wagner's Tannhauser Overture I am not ashamed to say that, as a man, I almost cried. Never have I heard anything so beautiful in all my life. Richard Wagner was a musical genius!

@@Max63385 What an aggressive stance, why the personal attack? I know about Wagner what I read and frankly Wagner was not a very nice person outside of music. He was rude and he liked it so, he also liked his wife to have to hear that he loved his dog Pohl more than he loved her. There are tons of anecdotes about him outside of the music world. A funny man.
IMHO this is the perfect piece to introduce classical music to someone who doesn't know it. One beautiful theme is developed from single instruments to full orchestra over a rhythmic background that anyone can appreciate. Genius!
Ouvertures are perfect for introduction. Short and universally recognised by everyone. Carmen, Magic Flute, etc. From there the new listener can go anywhere possible.

Stirring, uplifting, beautiful and epic! Though all art forms should be able to express the full gamut of human emotion and experience, ultimately, I feel, it should, in some way, elevate the human sprit. In our modern age, we are assailed every day by music, literature and visual art that degrades and denigrates us; that revels in its facile ugliness and juvenile obsession with the self; that poisons our spirits with its nihilism. Listening to this I feel cleansed, if only momentarily...
You said exactly what I was thinking as I listened to this wonderful art. All of us must see to it that our world survives so that this great art will be appreciated those that come after us.
It's the very concept behind Tannhäuser, the Minnesänger (the poet), who spent his life with Venus in the Venusberg (Heaven), which was considered a blasphemous act. A pious woman named Elisabeth tried to rescue him, but God had passed over the poet when he'd apportioned the Earth to those of various callings, denying the poet a normal life. So wrote a German poet at the turn of the 19th century; in recompense, God allowed the poet to sit at his side in Paradise. So wrote a German poet at the turn of the 19th century; in recompense, God allowed the poet to sit at his side in Paradise. Does anyone know this poem, which I haven't been able to locate without going into my boxed-up German literature? Wagner's music makes Tannhäuser present for us and transports us to his abode in the Venusberg. It's a wicked experience that lifts our soul.
Amazing performance, so beautiful!! Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra's execution was superb, with no flaws at all. Karajan at his best, as usual, as he normally is when conducting music from German composers. @YeEunHan Thank YOU so much for uploading this gem!

Jetzt hält es mich am Leben .... Musik ist eines der größten Geschenke Gottes an die Menschheit ....
my father was in Russia for 4 years German POW ....Wagner was his favorite , help kept alive there by symphonic music, after he came home listening a lot and I too, thanks to him for knowing and getting to know him.

Music is definitely a tonic. Love Wagner and much else that I find on Utube. At 75, practicing my piano repertoire keeps me focused and aware of my retention and thought patterns.

well, Wagner wasn't perfect (he was a shit) and von Karajan wasn't perfect (he was a Nazı) so...where did the perfection creep in? that's what I'd like to know.
The only word to describe this performance is sublime. This is a fantastic piece of music and here is Karajan at his very best. The sheer emotion flowing from him into the orchestra and the command with which he directs the musicians is highlighted clearly by the camera. You also have to marvel at the expertise of the players, each at the top of their game and working in harmony to produce an outstanding result. Thanks for sharing.
Wagner fu un rivoluzionario dell'opera lirica! Lo stesso Verdi ne era consapevole. Le sue composizioni sono innovative , geniali e di una purezza e bellezza inimitabili❤
Well, it has been a while since I last listened to Herbert v K with the BPO. I have loved Baremboim's Tannhauser on Telarc as my once and only favourite of this ouverture (yes, I am using the correct French spelling of the word), over the years, and I did think that it would be impossible to beat. I recently started to re-listen to some of the pre-2000 "classic" recordings and I have to (grudgingly) admit that Karajan's interpretation of the final third ouverture is one of the best I have heard. The often difficult transitions in this piece are taken so smoothly by Karajan and the BPO who are in fine form. Perfection.
@@sonnyirish3678 - Wagner was one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived. He was also a very nasty human being. Given Wagner's personal and political behaviors, one can reasonably deduce that he would have great difficulty living in modern Germany.

This piece speaks to my soul. And for at least 15 minutes, the chasm that divides the spirit and the flesh is bridged, and all is well.
