Europa!

SUBLIME!!!!! C'est magnifique!!! C'est formidable!!!!

The theme for the worlds start shifting with the one of the ending. Why? Wotan is riding with an unimaginable speed on his horse, thinking this: Can the world go on? Or have we reached it's is ending. This doubt is heard in the music.

At the start of this fateful music ominously creeping in, I had an eerie sense of foreboding. Then, with the 4 heavy, thunderous semiquavers, I saw Hitler barking his evil. Ultimately, Germany triumphed over their demons to become a beautiful, humanitarian and soulful country. It's all expressed in this music, as though Wagner had a prophetic vision.

Also people - you clap when the conductor's hands are down. not before.

The recording sounds great too. If this was by phone, then it just shows twin mikes is all you need for an orchestra ^^ (HUuuGE dynamics)

whoa

Dommage que Barenboim ait dirigé dans autant de hideuses productions.

Still holds up as one of the greatest Rings ever recorded. Watching again from all those years ago when I was there for every night of the Ring. Barenboim and every member of orchestra know this music so well. The response on the night was authentic. The acoustic is more analytic than in Bayreauth itself, having been to two Bayreauth Rings and this, I would still take this interpretation over anything I've heard at Bayreauth. I would seek out the recordings, because this is Barenboim's sublime interpretation of this music. It doesn't exist on any disc or CD. I have the BBC recordings thatnkfully, they are a treasure

Likes are being dropped from this. I have watched it several times and now it doesn't show a like.

The pause after the last audible note has subsided is quite extraordinary. As a Viennese I am accustomed to a comparatively disciplined and educated audience, which perhaps lingers a couple of seconds after the last note has subsided but I have never experienced anything close to this in terms of duration (it is 16 second by my count). That makes me want to attend the Proms even more. Hats off to the Brits.

My god that soprano is AWFUL.

How did it achieve that astounding sound quality? Great.

Great conducting, but Stemme can't match the best singers of this role.

The most beautiful piece of love music exchanged between doomed lovers, until rodgers and Hammerstein foisted If I Loved You on us near the start of their fabled Carousel for Broadway audiences. But who are we to compare and contrast as the worlds, ages and audiences were so separated? Both are legends from their times, though, and I enjoy listening to both masterpieces, time and time again.

Probably one of the most amazing pauses in Music history

"One day, a king will come, and the sword will rise again."

Que hp traficante de visas tan aburridor que es este negociante!

I just listened to the Tennstedt/Norman studio version and Barenboim does not have Tennstedt's magic.

G🙏et well Maestro Barenboim; you're in our prayers.🙏

Why recordings of this Cycle were not released, who knows. It was incredible.

Obra majestuosa!! Espectacular!!!

Fantastic performance. Pity the fixed, illicit (?) camera footage does not do it justice!

5:45 Hero

Obra maestra.

2:32

Outstanding ending for an outstanding tetralogy.

Very ordinary -- VPO are the benchmark.

One of my favourite parts of the Ring

Such awful wobble!!

🎹 Superb 🎹 Despite Nina Stemme's catterwalling!

Wyższa półka muzyki. To nie disco z pola.

The music of the Last Judgement

The wobble is horrible.

Great orchestra with a mediocre conductor

Wonderful position you had and I appreciate that with filming it detracts a little from your own pleasure so thank you.

Wagner is WAGNER, and always moves, but this work was not made to be represented like that. After the war in Germany there was an unbridled interest in making an absurd "sublimation" of reality and fantasy, even disfiguring the scene to the point of absurdity. The ridiculous taken to the limit.

Bah… the British playing Wagner… It’s like the Russians playing Hawaiian music.

esecuzione Magnifica.

So agree, Solti is the very best, I don’t care for Barenboim.

Barenboim always conducts too slowly for me. George Solti is the supreme master.

Nina pierde el tiempo, justo antes de terminar, es gracioso, ver como uno de los maestros de los cornos la voltea a ver. Fallo, bueno, a quien no le pasa. Es magico como Barenboim, lo comprende y dirige magistralmente, de tal suerte que cae justo a tiempo con el.

For my ears, the greatest of the great operas. Wagner’s finest work. Should be required listening material for anyone applying for recognition as a human being.

I came here for, "You were my brother, Anakin!!!" Suffice to say, this is not Star Wars. Any one else make the same mistake? Note to self: "THE Immolation Scene," not "Immolation Scene."

Regrettably, the soprano who magnificently portrayed Brunnhilde was unidentified.

this video is the reason i'm on youtube
