Congratuations to GoDigital MG for submitting the most ridiculous copyright claim yet - that they own the musical composition. Gotterdammerung was written 150 years ago! TH-cam has gotten ridiculous - all I can do is dispute the bogus claim. If GoDigital responds that it is valid, even though it isn't, they get the last word and collect royalties from my video. This system is broken.
Grossartig! Eine meiner Lieblingstellen von der Goetterdaemmerung und des ganzes Ringes! Das Orchester scheint ein bisschen zu gedaempft zu speilen, aber CHOR!!!! das ist einfach die beste, die maechtigste Interpretation von Mannenchor, die ich je gehoert habe, und ihr koennt mir glauben, ich hab schon meeeeeehrmals den "Ring" erlebt! Boulez/Cherreu oder Barenboim/Kupfer beispielweise haetten diesen Interpreten beim besten Willen nicht das Wasser reichen koennen! Herzlichsten Dank:)
Thanks, Lewis. Wagner had his rants, but it didn't really affect his professional conduct. As a conductor, he regularly worked with Jewish musicians. His operas were in large part financed by jews, and he personally chose Jewish conductor Hermann Levi to direct the premiere of Parsifal. Much of Wagner's ranting seems to stem from his personal feud with Jewish composer Meyerbeer. Sadly, Wagner took it to extremes. One silly example was wearing gloves whenever he conducted Mendelssohn.
looks like a Wieland w. production--he tastefully expanded past the originals--unlike today's crazy, egocentric directors and their industrialist nightmares.

Apparently Wagner not only invented the leitmotif, the tristan chord and the wagner tuba, but also the phone. (Although I guess it that was invented in 1876 already...?) In any case: Great performance!
wow!!! for a 1958 recording it's EXCELLENT. kudos to the sound engineer that did the re-master. most pre-digital analog's I have heard of Wagner are scratchy and weak in range. is this Gotterdammerung available on CD box set? who sings Siegfried and Brünnhilde?
Eu tinha um LP da Deutsche Gramophon "Festival de Bayreuth" dos anos 60 com trechos das principais óperas de Wagner. Esta, uma das minhas favoritas, eu encontrei tal qual estava no disco. Está difícil encontrar as outras.
fnd111 - read Wagner's biography. He housed Mikhail Bakunin in the 1840s for the purpose of inciting a Marxist revolt in Saxony which happened, and Wagner was on the front line. He was a wanted man in Saxony in exile when he wrote the Ring which, I agree with Bernard Shaw, is a metaphor for the proletarian uprising he was part of just a few years earlier. Wagner said of his work "if this is performed correctly it will have to be banned; it's too dangerous."
@XxRedVampirexX They sing `Was wagen?´ (What is to dare?) - I have been reading much of Wagners lyrics and found them very awkward. One could say it is `Wagner-deutsch´/Wagner-german - a language which only exists on stage...
Ok, this is a very tastful modern productin which still preserves the ancient archetypes/customes and FEEL of the past--I'm not fusty...this is Wieland's I think...
people are such geeks, Hitler also liked cream pastries, & lentils, the list goes on, I've been to the Eagles Nest, anyone else here? so what if he liked Wagner.
@MrElfro89 MrElfro - that's a correct but erroneous observation. GoDigital claimed rights to the sheet music, not the audio recording. My earlier comment made that distinction clear. Around 100,000 people have watched this video since my comment without making the same mistake as you. Remind me NOT to make you a lifeline next time I'm on a quiz show.
Have to admit, someone out there can probably make a collage of footage from Skyrim and put it to this piece and it would somehow fit together perfectly.
Someone claimed copyright for my own videos playing in my own piano a Chopin Nocturne written in 1830, I claimed to them all of this but apparently Chopin wanted them to keep the winnings and I still have to copyright issue.
I wouldn't say that, it's just Wagner did so well with Leitmotivs that the were finally given a name. Leitmotives already existed. The Tristan chord can be found as a 7 chord starting with the 7th note of the scale: half diminished. He's just use it in different contexts: No particular context at the beginning, A flat major at the beginning of Leibesnacht and B major at the end of the opera. If it was played in F sharp major it would be a diatonic VII half diminished 7 chord. Wagner tubas: yes.
What a singer! What a choir!! Listen with headphones, it's just like being at Bayreuth - if you ever have the good fortune. As far as the old problem of Wagner's attitude to the Jews is concerned, I trust D. Barenboim's judgement (music is just that, music. We should be able to separate it from its composer's personal views). I agree with the comment about 'hysterical' Jews, but we shouldn't generalise. There are thousands of Wagner-loving Jews in the world who wouldn't associate with Tel Aviv.
You don't understand. Wagner should of course never be "banished" since he is the greatest composer of all time. However, it's not because Hitler liked it. It's because of the things Wagner wrote about jews and music. Wagner is nowhere near as extreme as Hitler either, I think Hermann Levi would be substantial proof.
yeah but this one is definitly not from wagner, its from someone else that interpret (cover) it and that guy has the copyright only of THAT ONE interpretation not of the whole thing its a weird thing but its true
Il y a tout un contexte "derrière" cette interpretation. Böhm tire ce choeur hors des brumes germaniques dans lesquelles il baignait pour l'amener vers quelque chose d' épique mais de très diffrent...et prend un tempo tout à fait inhabituel à Bayreuth ce qui fit hurler Wilhelm Pitz ( chef de choeur) et les traditionalistes. Aujourd'hui certains reprochent à Bohm de soit disant sympathies pro nazies en oublaint qu'au niveau musical il a agi souvent en maitre de la denazification...
@buzzard73gmail You didn't even put forth an arguement with that comment, you just said put yourself in their shoes, indicated that you don't know what hte word hysterical means... and then you said duh, which is kind of ironic.

Richard Wagner, du warst und bleibst ein GOTT!
Götterdämmerung, Bayreuth 1958
Conducted by Hans Knappertsbush
Chorus master: Wilhelm Pitz
@violinthief Yeah, I had to dispute a claim that UMG owned the rights to my own performance of a Mozart sonata. It's ridiculous.

I don't get tired of listening to this every day. It boost productivity (game programming).

I have always been impressed Greind's trill in this scene with chorus(5:12)
looks like a Wieland w. production--he tastefully expanded past the originals--unlike today's crazy, egocentric directors and their industrialist nightmares.
Beeindruckende Vorstellung. das ist noch das alte Bayreuth - wie ich es liebe!
Cuando escuchas esta pieza, simplemente crees que el mundo esta a tus pies.
The finale is completely exquisite.
So sad that choruses are only used in one of the Ring's episodes. Wagner had such an ability to make them sound great.
Josef Greindl was also a great Koenig Marke in Furtwaengler's Tristan.
I die here! This music is magnificent, unique, Götlich!

I had a LP, Bayreuth Festival published in the 60 years by Deuttche Gramophon. This part was one of my favourites.
Wonderful singing. A great Wagnerian, indeed!
i love this music
So this is where the Seven Dwarfs got it from...
Fantastic chorus work :)
could that we could return to these marvelous minamalist productions.
6.32 is fantastic
As grand as Wagner himself. Nobody makes the ground shake like Wagner.
Apparently Wagner not only invented the leitmotif, the tristan chord and the wagner tuba, but also the phone. (Although I guess it that was invented in 1876 already...?)
In any case: Great performance!
Wow! What a huge voice!
What a voice

@Goetterreien lol, Thor was in the Rheingold but not again, this is Hagen.
Joseph Greindl sings, but the conductor is Wilhelm Pitz, from the disc Wagner-Chöre, with the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra.
Magnificent rendition
Wundervoll !
Wagner was also an idealogical favorite of the soviets PRE-1941
BRAVOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the early 1950s era recordings w Hans Knappertbusch i reccomend to those who like Wagner,,, great reccordings

Märchenhaft!!! Der göttliche Richard...
Copyright claim on the opera itself? Time for the Valkyries to kick some ass!
Wonderful performance!
I think this great musical piece is part of Parsifal!
@pietrovaldes It is a recording from Bayreuth festival 1958 the conductor was Willhelm PITZ
Awe inspiring & full of dignified grandeur. No matter if Hitler's Nuremberg rally was inspired by Wagner's grand operas.
This is sublime - no problems until the world comes back to you.
this music can pump german nationalism into anyone's veins!

If only people would concentrate on Wagner's music, instead of his politics and what came after.
Why was this cut from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?
Have to admit, someone out there can probably make a collage of footage from Skyrim and put it to this piece and it would somehow fit together perfectly.
Many famous musicians are screwy, even today. Doesn't make their music bad or irrelevent.
@VaultTex
xenophobic get out, this is music for all the humanity
Violennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnt woooooooooooooooooooooow fiouf AMAZING!!
I really need to get to grips with The Ring Cycle, but what recording, Help ..
Someone claimed copyright for my own videos playing in my own piano a Chopin Nocturne written in 1830, I claimed to them all of this but apparently Chopin wanted them to keep the winnings and I still have to copyright issue.

@Eicheulme
Read the Nibelungenlied! Hagen was and is one of the darkest heros in German literature.
hey-oooo when i see a pretty girl
majestuoso

It's because of the things Wagner wrote about jews and music. Wagner is nowhere near as extreme as Hitler either, I think Hermann Levi would be substantial proof.
Amazing

@ShermanM36 Was he a choral conductor?

the dragon was killed in the previous opera. You're a bit late.
Do you also believe that Denmark won WW2?
1:26-1:35
I'm not one to frown on Klingon opera jokes, but no it doesn't.
@hiljab I'm not Jewish, but put yourself in their shoes!!! What do you mean by "hysterical?" Duuuuuuuhhhhhh!!!!
yeah but this one is definitly not from wagner, its from someone else that interpret (cover) it and that guy has the copyright only of THAT ONE interpretation not of the whole thing its a weird thing but its true
@violinthief sounds like the system is actually working, which worries me a lot more.
Who is the orchestra director
@ElvMorgan Stimmt, echt witzig.^^
@RodsAndAxes HA!!!! Very funny!!!!
Are there videos available of these old productions?

@witness124 In War one has to destroy one's enemy.
Unless your studied in the occult, please don't make statements concerning hitler; on Wagner ....its extremely offensive and ignorant

Thanks for this wonderful clip. And not that it's relevant, but long live capitalism!
