Let's see how it is in chinese, now.

how many ring cycles goodall conducted at the coliseum?

A fantastic production! As a Freemason I think this is the most Masonic of the various productions I've seen. The only thing which ruins it on CZcams is the constant interruptions from adverts - roughly every 10 minutes and in many instances right at an important dramatic moment!!

Pappano one of the greatest ever conductors!

Too bad about the Nazi support and Holocaust denial

Cosi is gorgeous

She skips both low As in Act 1.

Bush and tony Blair is Mafia

Sounds weird in English

Underrated Translation 😢

here we hear the ideal siegmund: Tudor Davies !

❤❤❤❤

sorry but i didnt like the english version of the maagic flute i prifare the german ,,, thanks for uploading any way

the best tristan on record for my taste

Premiered on this day (26 July) in 1882 at Bayreuth 🌹🌹🌹

Ach war das eine Große ,sie ist mir so vertraut !

Why the Ouverture ( Vorspiel ) is missing , and the public welcome reaction for Karajan ???

the best Sarastro ever Ezio Pinza , the Caruso of the Basses , thanks for upload

Ich liebe diese Sängerin aber Maazel hetzt!

Kolo stinks.

A treasure. Thank you so much!

Eva Randova is a first class opera singer.I saw and heard her as Ortrud in Stockholm. The swedish soprano Catharina Ligenza was Elsa.Ligenza had the beautiful nordic sporano voice.Ligenzas Mother and father were singers at the Royal Opera in Stockholm.

E P I C !

Tremendous performance, thanks for posting.

Der beste Lohengrin aller Zeiten.

Keilberths Meistersinger stank even without Thomas

as this seems to be the only complete wieland wagner production on film ( a major failure of the german media, remitted by the japanese). it would be usefull also to restore the colour. ww was a painter and a magical colour dramatist - not this grey in grey producer...

There's a bit of sound missing from the beginning.

Nice Production...Very Ingmar Bergman-esque

Magic scenes ❤

this performance is not helped by an unlyrical and unheroic siegmund. his desinterested wooden voice also ruined gruemmers lohengrin, keilberths meistersinger and karajan siegfried (american marketing prefers legs to voice)

And Anja Silja is still alive! I really liked the scene I performance.

I would do anything to see a wieland wagner Walkure in color.

Vielen Dank für die Veröffentlichung dieses zeithistorischen Dokuments. Ein großartiger junger Theo Adam und auch Anja Silja hat ihre Qualitäten. Heute eine vollständige Inszenierung von Wieland Wagner zu sehen, ist ein großes Geschenk. Mich beeindruckt, dass sich die Sänger von so manchen Patzern im Orchestergraben nicht aus der Ruhe bringen lassen. Großartig! Vielen, vielen Dank!!

Hard to believe that the recording quality in 1981 was so poor.

Anja Silja als Brünhilde .....miscast ...in these times we have the beginning of these typical miscasts today to destroy the opera.....

Wow. Hard to realize this was going on in 1942.

Best English translation of flute that i've heard so far.

Immenso ❤️🙏

Roberta Knie was my voice teacher. Jon Vickers told her she was the last Wagnerian trained in the old way (graduating from Handel/Mozart to Bellini to early Puccini to late Puccini to early Verdi to late Verdi to early Wagner to late Wagner to Strauss. Nowadays they tend to dump singers in to the deep end, and their voices don't stay flexible and supple.

The Nazis didn’t understand this work at all. If Wagner had lived long enough to see or hear Hitler, he would have laughed at him, for an idiot-clown.

Waltraud Meier must be the best singer for Wagner's operas, although she has retired.

"Piana" singt das Quintett schier auf einem Atem !!!!

Wow - the pacing of the final duet - tender waves of tempi and dynamics. Over and over, Karajan makes sweeping statements, from tender to exultant to fearful to passion. He really lets Varnay linger over the softer passages which gives her a more feminine profile than is usual. God the tempi are just straight out of heaven.

Poise, Elegance. Brilliant performance

What this great maestro said is now more true than ever before. The modern opera world has unfortunately fallen to the service of these small voices that do better in the studio and need amplification on the stage. Anyone who has worked in a professional theatre knows this. There are no true dramatic tenors singing today, no true dramatic sopranos, no true Verdi baritones, no true basso profondi etc... because true dramatic voices take a longer time to develop than smaller lyrical ones, so the true dramatic voices are never given a chance because by the time that they're ready they're deemed "too old". So you have a modern opera world full of essentially light lyrical voices who are artificially darkened with modern sound technology both in the studio and on stage.

Best Osmin.

Die Walkuere is the most beautiful part of the tetralogy, from beginning to the end....so full of human emotions, beautiful music and here beautiful voices too. Never heard a concert version but it is also good..
