Oh yes, me too! This work and this performance of it lifts my spirits in a way few other pieces do.., Wonderful Tennstedt and wonderful playing by the orchestra. I do so love Wagner, Thanks so much, You Tube for posting this.
I listen to this perfectly conducted and played Rienzi's Ouverture through the years again and again. And I always get goose pimples from it. And I love how sensitive and gentle Klaus Tennstedt conduct it!! Thank you!! And thank to the entire LPO for translating Tennstedt's guiding moves into a celestial sound which makes you feel how subtle and romantic could be Wagner .
Tennstedt was one of a kind, a wonderful conductor who always brought out the best from the orchestra. Maestros of his caliber are very few and far between. I'm glad that many of his performances have been preserved for us to relish all these years after his passing.
Simply the best rendition I have ever heard, the arrangement, the timing, the subtly in volume, the horn section, like the gods themselves performed. A rare treat for the senses.
It's definitely a smoother, restrained performance, and very enjoyable. What makes music fascinating is the interpretation. This would be almost the polar opposite of Solti, but I enjoy both styles, and reckon Dick Wagner would as well, as he had an open mind.
Absolutely wonderful and definitive interpretation of this overture of Rienzi. The conduct of Klaus Tennstedt is superb and the orchestra is extraordinary.
What better person than Herr Tennstedt as a German to so understand Wagner's music snd bring out his wonderful understanding of this Great Masters music and also that he really by adding his complete understanding of Wagner's music . The LPO are musicians extraordinaire ! Wagner's music is Music and had nothing to do with his political outlook ! Recognize his music as GREAT Music. Also let us not forget the loss of Herr Tennstedt while he had come into his prime !!!!!
To hold such a magisterial tempo without the slightest hint of dragging is conducting of the highest order! As well as Wagner, Tennstedt's Mahler performances are among the best ever recorded - give them a try.
Tennstedts Mahler 1 with Chicago SO is the absolute best piece of all times. It is unbelievable, outstanding and wonderful. Although he was a Violinist, he really pulls the best out of the Brass. I will never know why he is the most underestimated conductor in Germany until today!
@@nickosullivan6264 You certainly got an adverse reaction (below) and indeed must have expected it, I imagine, seeing you didn't attempt to justify your preposterous proposition with any rational argument. Just trolling? Or do you have something to say?
I have been a confirmed lover of Wagner's beautiful music for a long time. Has any one else of my age group (67) ever noticed at the end of Reinzi that there is a small segment of the music that sounds like Mighty Mouse's " Here I Come to Save the Day"
Maestro Tennstedt nails it!!! Nuance, detail, and ambiance! It's all there! Even Richard Wagner (who hated his own opera for being too conventional and for appealing to a conventional public) would have LOVED IT!!! Bravo Maestro Klaus and bravo to LPO!
This performance could be the one of the best live Wagner "Overture Rienzi I'm so proud Tokyo has such a magnificent classical concert hall !! I miss so much I've been lived in London since late 80's but there is no symphonic concert hall in London I'm afraid I wonder why & how come ...... !!!?
London had an acoustically brilliant concert venue in the Queen's Hall in Portland Place almost adjacent to the BBC's Broadcasting House. Unfortunately it was bombed to smithereens by the Luftwaffe in 1941. I refrain from further comment.
Tremendous memories of working with a legendary musician. Klaus died over 20 years ago and I still miss working with him. Great ping pong player, as well! The flow that he created was stirring.
I have enjoyed Tennstedt's radio concert recordings with The Minnesota Orchestra for many years. The comments I've read from you and many other musicians who played under his direction are always enthusiastic in their praise of this unique and marvelous conductor.
RIENZI es una de las oberturas más deslumbrantes de Richard Wagner. Desde la primera vez que la escuché me ha impresionado y nunca dejo de disfrutarla.
Bè,si capisce perchè l'opera fu un trionfo alla prima del 1842....L'ouverture basta da sola e rende già prova della maestria del giovanissimo Wagner. Bellissma questa esecuzione di Tennstedt e della LP
This is a wonderful performance with Tennstedt's tempi and rubato judged to perfection. New to me is the slowness of 'the turn' at the beginning of the main theme - half speed, but it sounds just right when you get used to it
This Wagner performance in Tokyo was a great moment- under Tennstedts baton the LPO was one of the best orchestras in the world-and then Welser-Möst, Masur and Jurowski ruined it!!! So much thanks for posting this unique rendition!
Una sinfonia che potrebbe essere scambiata per una semplice marcetta viene "aperta" dalle sapienti mani di questo genio del podio, da questo uomo che ha saputo cogliere le profondità mahleriane riflettendole magicamente su questa partitura wagneriana.
Klaus Tennstedt was one of the greatest conductors who ever lived!
A child of Four can do just as well!
I have forgotten how simply awesome this overture was. A masterpiece!
My orchestra is playing this right now...it is even more amazing being in the music!
🥰😘💪
Your just bad. too many negative influences maybe.
It doesn't get any better than this. This is the best.
Wagner would of been extremely proud of Tenstedt's interpretation of this wonderful piece....
You must be a poor moron
Wagner's music has the power and beauty to reach my soul so deep. It s so strong that makes me cry
Oh yes, me too! This work and this performance of it lifts my spirits in a way few other pieces do.., Wonderful Tennstedt and wonderful playing by the orchestra. I do so love Wagner, Thanks so much, You Tube for posting this.
Yes brings me in tears too
Non Beautyful
Yes, I agree
Typical Wagner - all blast and militaristic trumpeting, no wonder Hitler loved him!
Richard Wagner + Klaus Tennstedt + London Philharmonic Orchestra = TOTAL BRILLIANCE! Thank you very much for posting this video
In search for better recordings I always find myself coming back to this one.
Me too.
NEVER have I heard a finer performance of Wagner than Tennstedt and the LPO!!!
good for you
Tennstedt would have flunked every conducting class in the world today. Which is why he was a truly great conductor.
Thank god for the young Wagner - and for the old Tennstedt!
And for the band.
@@peterfeltham5612 its not a band :v
Its an orchestra!! a much grander ensemble of musicians
ABSOLUTELY DANKE SCHOEN
Words cannot describe how beautiful this piece is. THANK YOU WAGNER!
It is magnific
The definitive version of this little masterpiece.
Keep coming back to this for my 'fix'.
At 1.40, you begin to realize the incredible genius and potential of this young composer.
I listen to this perfectly conducted and played Rienzi's Ouverture through the years again and again. And I always get goose pimples from it. And I love how sensitive and gentle Klaus Tennstedt conduct it!! Thank you!! And thank to the entire LPO for translating Tennstedt's guiding moves into a celestial sound which makes you feel how subtle and romantic could be Wagner .
Me, too. I've heard a great many recordings of this overture over the years, but none that matches this one. It is simply the best.
Maestro Tennsted ; unvergleichlich, ohnegleichen, ungehört, unübertroffen !!
My favorite overture. Magnificently performed. No one writes for brass like Wagner.
Prokofiev maybe 🙂

Wow! Great Wagner from one of the most magnificent maestros of the 20th century.
Tennstedt was one of a kind, a wonderful conductor who always brought out the best from the orchestra. Maestros of his caliber are very few and far between. I'm glad that many of his performances have been preserved for us to relish all these years after his passing.
Simply the best rendition I have ever heard, the arrangement, the timing, the subtly in volume, the horn section, like the gods themselves performed. A rare treat for the senses.
True, better than v.Karajan.
Doesn't get any better. It's AMAZING.
It's definitely a smoother, restrained performance, and very enjoyable. What makes music fascinating is the interpretation. This would be almost the polar opposite of Solti, but I enjoy both styles, and reckon Dick Wagner would as well, as he had an open mind.
@ But not better than Lovro von Matacic!
So true. I heard things in this performance that I have never heard before. Tennstedt is magnificent.
His absolute control of tempo is actually unreal. I've heard so many conductors rush this piece, especially in the first half
How about a bravo to the musicians and their wonderful musicianship and passion for playing - a heartfelt thank you.
Absolutely; Bravo!
Absolutely wonderful and definitive interpretation of this overture of
Rienzi. The conduct of Klaus Tennstedt is superb and the orchestra is extraordinary.

Student Conductors should listen to this performance to see how this music should be played.

@@janpeters3893 I agree - his performance of the 8th (with the London Philharmonic) in the same DVD set is also utterly majestic.
The Sublime March! Tennstedt's Finest Video.
WAGNER, grandioso, magnífica interpretación.
Fantastic. Tennstedt was a master of tempo. It can't get any better than this.
Fabulous! Tennstedt almost convinced me that this absolute drivel is a good piece - which it isn't.
@@nickosullivan6264 Shut the fuck up, you absolute mongoloid of a human being.
@@nickosullivan6264 Russian music fan, no wonder why you talked shit about Wagner's :)

I agree. And the pace is just right too! Just saying. :0)
Tenntedt / Wagner !! superb.
Incredible performance! Great conductor and great orchestra! Thanks a lot!
Such lovely music. I gotta turn this on and force my lovely girl to dance with me.
Klaus Tennstedt simply the best wagnerian
Wagner es majestuoso, solemne, grandioso, sublime
HE KNEW HOW TO MAKE AN ORCHESTRA SING ! EXTREMELY ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE BY A REAL MASTER : THANK YOU GINO
Best!!! Conductor and orchestra are amazing!!
Ein Meisterwerk.
I have been a confirmed lover of Wagner's beautiful music for a long time. Has any one else of my age group (67) ever noticed at the end of Reinzi that there is a small segment of the music that sounds like Mighty Mouse's " Here I Come to Save the Day"
I thank everyone who brought Tennstedt to You Tube.
this is just so right!! exciting, dynamic, beautiful! Tennstedt was wonderful!
Shivers down the spine and up again,majestic ,Conductor, Orchestra ,recording all first class thank you to those responsible
1:40 my soul is always moved by this beautiful melody.
Very powerful moving music makes me cry love it too bits
Klaus Tennstedt in Bestform !! 1 : 38 für immer und ewig Richard !!
Wagner & Tennstedt equals perfection.
La direction de Klaus Tennstedt est toujours merveilleuse quand il dirige un orchestre jouant Wagner. Il manque à la musique.
I love how Tennstedt just lives the life at 11:23
Me, too.
The master with a masterpiece .
Maestro Tennstedt nails it!!! Nuance, detail, and ambiance! It's all there! Even Richard Wagner (who hated his own opera for being too conventional and for appealing to a conventional public) would have LOVED IT!!! Bravo Maestro Klaus and bravo to LPO!
listen to this in Bavaria or Austria or Switzerland in the Alps and get the real effect and the inspiration of this most beautiful piece...outstanding
All I can say is WOOWWWW!! He's nailed it with the big horns!!
Impresionante.....sin palabras, se me saltan las lagrimas
Reverencias al Maestro y mil gracias por compartir esta obra maestra
magnifique interprétation ! Mené par un très grand maître !
His tempo is out of this world

Michael,they have had over 70yrs to build a new one.Germany has built an entire country from scratch in less time.
one of the best versions ive heard awsome on headphones,thanks for this.wow

Klaus Tennstedt is the best
テンシュテットの音楽にはクレンペラーやベームと共通する揺るぎのない土台から発するエネルギーを感じる、抱きしめたくなる感動がそこにあるのだ。
TENNSTEDT IS BEST NOT ONLY IN MAHLER BUT ALSO IN WAGNER... SUPERB PERFORMANCE !!
Wonderful playing and the brass is sensational.
Tennstedt is a fiery spirit. I love it.
fantastic brass section!
I agree. Laurie Evans on principal trumpet outstanding as usual.
Tennstedt è straordinario. Eccelsa direzione.
My first introduction to Wagner was this. I had to hear more...and more.
RIENZI es una de las oberturas más deslumbrantes de Richard Wagner. Desde la primera vez que la escuché me ha impresionado y nunca dejo de disfrutarla.
Beautifully done!
Vendo isso eu só posso chegar a uma conclusão, Wagner foi mandado dos céus para a terra
Esecuzione a dir poco magistrale. Tra le migliori in assoluto, parlando della Overture del Rienzi. Grazie.
ci sei pisana
Bè,si capisce perchè l'opera fu un trionfo alla prima del 1842....L'ouverture basta da sola e rende già prova della maestria del giovanissimo Wagner.
Bellissma questa esecuzione di Tennstedt e della LP
Je ne m'en lasse pas : excellent merci !
Bravo! Excellent performance!
This is a wonderful performance with Tennstedt's tempi and rubato judged to perfection. New to me is the slowness of 'the turn' at the beginning of the main theme - half speed, but it sounds just right when you get used to it
Pensive and noble... Sometimes lighthearted. Wow!
cette ouverture je ne l'écoutais jamais ,maintenant je l'écoute très souvent !.. c'est clair ,je vieillis..
Fantastic music thank you for sharing it with us

As a teenager Adolf Hitler heard Rienzi and thereafter became addicted to Wagner for life. Now i know why!
Solo un alemán puede interpretar tan magistralmente a Wagner...
I love the main theme. I goes so deep yet is so uplifting... These are the strongest feats of Wagner to me.

Most refreshingly accurate and beautiful!

Truly Fantastic a pleasure to listen this is brilliant music.
Utterly sensational. He was ill then, but he could still conduct. A true musician!
Expectacular me encanta esta versión.
Great performance ever!
Un oasis para el alma y los oídos, antídoto contra la mediocridad, Gracias Wagner y a la Orquesta!
The brass section is stupendous in this recording, the very best Rienzi I've ever heard. Klaus on top form!
WAGNER . MARAVILLOSO LO TRANSPORTA A TRAVES DE LA MUSICA GENIAL Y SOLEMNE.-
Disco King! - great performance great conducting.
absolutely magnificent !!
Absolutely Remarkable...
Amazing!!!
INIGUALABLE, GENIAL !!!
Impresionante, hermosa obertura.... Wagner... siempre Wagner, único !
I saw him with the Philadelphia Orchestra once I think. Great Conductor. Made Karajan look like a second rater.
Tennstedt Grandios. Bravo!!
me gusta esta versión . en mi equipo suena total.
If i only had 12 minutes left to live, this would be what i would want to hear.
