Klaus feels Wagner's music in his soul and projects it through the orchestra so beautifully. He feels exactly the way I do when I hear the music. Superb maestro and sadly missed
De beste uitvoering ooit van dit meesterstuk van Richard Wagner. De bevlogenheid van Klaus Tennstedt, de bezieling, de liefde voor de muziek komt volledig tot uitdrukking uit zijn hele wezen en brengt dit over op het alle orkestleden. Zo heeft Wagner het bedoelt. Klaus Tennstedt war einmailig. Geen enkele andere dirigent doet hem dit na om de muziek zo weer te geven zoals Wagner het bedoelt heeft. De emotie, de ontroering komt in deze uitvoering totaal tot zijn recht en brengt dit over op de luisteraar.
I heared things in the interpretation of maestro Tennstedt I never heard before! It is an interpretation that makes Wagner even more a genius as I already saw him! I immediately downloaded all interpretations of Wagner by maestro Tennstedt. All very special, an extra dimension to Wagners compositions!
Ladies and Gentleman, please put this unbelievable for human standards music at your earphones and go either at your garden or balcony all alone one silent winter late evening when sky will be partly lighted by moon while heavy clouds are slowly moving and leave your self looking this sky hearing this music...The unique feelings you will receive will be never forgotten not only to this life but surely also beyond of it...

I cannot describe it, the interpretation of Klaus Tennstedt is just amazingly uniquely outstanding and perfect! It just stands out sovereignly. Incredibly beautiful!
Den ganzen Tag war ich heute deprimiert, weil ich mir viele Dinge nicht leisten kann. Am Abend hörte ich dann diese Musik und mir wurde bewusst, wie dumm ich war. Diese wundervolle Musik ist unbezahlbar und doch kostet es kein Geld sie anzuhören. Und ich bin glücklich darüber, dass ich die Fähigkeit habe, mich von ihr berühren zu lassen. Viele Leute können sich die teuersten Dinge leisten, aber werden nie berührt von der Herrlichkeit dieser Musik. Diese Menschen sind wirklich arm...Danke Richard Wagner, danke Ludwig II von Bayern und danke an alle, die diese Aufnahmen ins Netz stellen.
Du hast so Recht: Diese Musik ist unbezahlbar, ja geradezu heilend. Wenn ich diese Ouvertüre höre durchfährt es mich von Kopf bis Fuß und ich fühle mich vital in jeglicher Hinsicht. Auch ich bedanke mich bei Richard Wagner, Ludwig II von Bayern, Klaus Tennstedt (einer der besten Wagner-Dirigenten) und natürlich auch bei jenen, die diese musikalischen Schätze hier veröffentlichen.
Sie sprechen mir aus dem Herzen, mit den Jahren ist diese emotionale Bindung gewachsen, bei Wagner besonders stark. Der/Diejenige, die Tannhäuser kennen, werden durch diese Ouvertüre schon auf ein unglaubliches Ereignis eingestimmt. Musikdrama in Perfektion.
Klaus Tennstedt ce grand chef d'orchestre dirige cette sublime ouverture avec émotion et une exécution parfaite. Je ne me lasse pas d'écouter ce chef d'orchestre allemand et cela me remplie d'émotion. Bravo Klaud Tennstedt.
I think I must have listened to this almost a hundred times by now - I swear. And it still brings tears to my eyes every single time. Tennstedt was a GENIUS!!!
Annyira meghat, hogy néha könnyem csordul! Szívbe markol! Ez az értelmezés az egyik, hanem a legjobb! '88 Tokió! Ki múlja felül!? Tennstedt szétszedi a kompozíciót, hangszerekként elemzi, érti motívumait a nagy egészben, érthetővé teszi újra alkotva és interpretálva! Mintha együtt élne Wágner-rel!
Richard Wagner, Klaus Tennstedt, The London Philarmonic, thank you for such a beautiful moment in my life, enjoying this means so much to me, deep emotions found.
I concur with all that is said here: I had the privilege to be present at many of his concerts in London when he was alive. The memory of these, and the power and excitement he got from the orchestra will something I will remember forever. Also I met him a number of times in the Green room after the performance.... he was in a highly emotional state then I recall, with only broken English being spoken.... Heavens how I loved him and his performances. He has a place in my heart.
Ah, Bryan not quite true - he (and those now70/ 80/90 yr old players!) are with us as long as these wonderful records exist. And our civilization. Just now (2020) somewhat uncertain! 🤔🤔🤔
Doggone it! I'm a teacher in Japan and 32 years late too get to get to this performance which was just down the road from me. Thank you for posting it. It's the next best thing to being there.
私は58歳の日本人です。 HDVideoCollections4様は日本の方でしょうか。 私はこの演奏会を２６歳の時に客席(1F16列15番)で聞きました。 火曜日か水曜日の夜であったと思います。 ワーグナープログラムの一夜、生涯忘れることの無い、圧倒的な音楽でした。 あなたの思いに１００％同意し、この動画を投稿して下さったこと、この動画に出逢えたことに心から感謝いたします。 I am a 58 year old Japanese. Is HDVideoCollections4 Japanese? I heard this concert in the audience (1F 16th row 15th) when I was 26 years old. I think it was Tuesday or Wednesday night. One night in the Wagner program, it was an overwhelming music that I will never forget. I fully agree with your thoughts and thank you for posting this video and for meeting this video.
Yes! It's all too easy to gallop through the overture -- Tennstedt restrains the pace and brings out the internal tensions of what's to come. Splendid.
Many people that are not musicians do not realize that an ORCHESTRA is simply a huge instrument (like an organ) and the Conductor is the artist...the player if you will. This is why Conductors are known to be testy...it is like having a key out of tune is one of the members of the instrument isn't playing it the way the conductor wants it. You can't have independence in the instrument.
This is in Tokyo. In London, the LPO and Klaus Tennstedt gave many concerts at the Royal Festival Hall in the 80s. I was working nearby and saw quite a few. I saw Klaus conduct a concert at the Proms too. There's not much of him on video - pleased to see this here.
I don't know a damn thing about music but I know "Genius" when I see it, and this Conductor is truly devoted to his craft as are the members of the orchestra....I find this to be a genuine expression of musical interpretation that's shared with us all....and for that I'm grateful!
Yes, WAGNER is the genius...for without the composer.... the orchestra and conductor wont have any music to play. Unless the conductor can compose as good as Wagner (or has composing talent at all), then it's different.
Una de las interpretaciones más inspiradas y perfectas de esta obertura, sino la mejor. Klaus Tennstedt ha sido uno de los más grandes directores de orquesta en toda la historia de la música. ¡Qué uso del tiempo, de los bloques, del énfasis complejo del fraseo! Una maravilla, un inspirado monumento dignísimo para un genio de la envergadura de Richard Wagner.
Interpretacion con tiempos y compases de Klaus,Tennsted perfectos y la,orquesta una pleyade de grandes profesores,altamente cualificados.Finalmente musica del gran genio musical que fue Wagner.Cierro los ojos y creo que estoy en el cielo.Saludos desde,Barcelona SPAIN.
I was so moved by Tennstedts performance of Wagners Tannhauser overture. And I definitely agree that people should stop thinking of Hitler when listening to Wagner. Get over it.
Perfect song to read the subjective forms of the clouds and to follow with a tender eye the grooves of the stems of the trees; appreciate the complex writing of the nested branches, taste the colors of the decomposition of light into water droplets in a garden, and strongly feel the wet soil of ancestral forest to perceive the traces of animals from deep past
OMG.... one can only imagine what a Tennstedt interpretation of Tristan and Isolde would have achieved. Fortunately based on this performance one can come close. His Mahler performances are some consolation.
Fabulosa interpretación. A mis 73 años tengo en mi recuerdo y memoria haberla escuchado muchas veces cuando mi padre la oía en sus discos de pasta. Amo la buena música gracias a él.
Heavens, how I miss this very great conductor. I miss him very badly. He was exceptional, and got a sound from the orchestra unlike another other. I heard him many times, and treasure fond memories.
Beste Tannhäuser Langfassung! Ich habe diese und andere Aufnahmen von der Londoner Orchester seit Jahren schon auf CD! Klaus Tennstedt war ein großartiger Dirigent! RIP
What a privilege to be able to watch this whenever one has the time and inclination. It would be one of my desert island discs, that's for sure! Thanks for the upload.😄
Just wow. Love this piece after hearing it in Excalibur. Usually a baroque music fan but this introduced me to Wagner. This version is stunning. It has so much intensity, colour and depth. Klaus Tennstadt is a revelation and the emotion adds so much. Not just listening to it but feeling it too.
Wagner, Tennstedt, London Symphony, Concert Master all magnificent! My favourite classic music piece ever. I listen to it almost every day. It is so beautiful and uplifting!
I hope that when it is your time to go from this realm into the next , there is someone there who will play this as a recording or maybe hire a whole orchestra to play this ... what an awesome send off that would be! I sincerely hope that can happen for you when it is your time :-)
@@davidking7205 No es una despedida, es un recibimiento, es la música del cielo. Solo que Dios es muy bueno y nos envió a Ricardo para acompañar la esperanza.
WOW! The "Bacchanale" was like a music coming from the heavens. First; it gave me goosebumps. And then I was up there-free and worry-less.... Didn't even care about paying the bills which are next to me on the table! 😄
Brillantísima versión, más que notable, de este director sobre esta wagneriana composición. Los directores pueden incluir matices que no están explícitos en una partitura, aunque sí en en el ámbito del compositor y este maestro lo borda. ¡Un 10!
This is a marvelous rendition of a marvelous piece of magic... Wagner is unique in the world of classical music. After centuries from now, people will still listen to his amazing music. they will wonder and say: how could people compose such a music? what did inspire them?
El Maestro Tennstedt nos legó aquella gran sensibilidad que solo un concertino de violín (como alguna vez lo fue) podría tener. ¿Cómo no caer irremediablemente rendidos ante la genialidad de Wagner con interpretaciones magistrales como esta?
Feeling sad that I've not been able to attend this marvelous concert in Japan back then but then enchanted on the other hand that I'm given the opportunity to hear and see this over and over again on CZcams. Don't you ever delete these signature renditions of Wagner's works by Tennstedt and the RLPO. These are definitely unmatched ever since.
Open Champagne and play this on my 30th birthday. I was telling my friend that Tennstedt and the LPO are celebrating my birthday at 6:45. I love Tennstedt and his Wagner. His Mahler 1st is also the best.
Klaus Tennstedt inoubliable...une sensibilité et une puissance hors du commun. Le plus grand à mon sens ! Et il a ressuscité Malher avec tant de talent. Merci Maître Tennstedt. Que Dieu vous garde dans sa lumière auprès de lui pour l l'éternité
I grew up listening to Wagner conducted by Karajan, and I loved it... until I heard this amazing concert! I am now a fan of Klaus Tennstedt and the London Philarmonic.
Tenía que ser alemán para interpretar así a Wagner. Da la impresión de que es la primera vez que uno escucha esta obertura y entiende porqué ocupa el lugar que ocupa en la historia de la música. Claro, lento, majestuoso y profundo. La música de Wagner es música imperial.
@@jimcrawford5039 Actually Karajan has two periods, the early, innovative, young turk breaking paradigms and bringing fresh air to symphonic performances and the late pretentious, infatuated, tiranic demigod of the millions dollars performances, hated and feared by *_his_* (as of property) "employees". One is the Karajan of the vinyl 9 symphonies a very different (aged and capricious) one of the CD album. I own and repeatedly listen to both. Karajan died in the 70's; his ghost took over. 🤔
We need more innovation in arrangement and conducting of classics like Wagner's operas, instead of the insufferable focus on scenic design and woke costumes that's become the norm. Karajan's Wagner is alright but nothing special. Give me this over his interpretation any day, and they can put the singers in trash bags for all I care.
I've never heard this overture this way before; that I had no idea how so many conductors leave so much out, since when I saw that it would be more that 24 minutes…well all I could think is that the Tennstedt version would be a much slower tempo, only to discover that Wagner had composed so much more, but that so many of our more illustrious conductors chose to edit out so much…Thank you for posting the ACTUAL overture…and many thanks to the late, lamented Maestro Tennstedt for this…Thank You!!….
This is the Paris version. Wagner significantly changed the opera in an attempt to make it palatable to the French opera-goers. He failed, partly because of some very rude members of Parisian society who saw to the opera's failure. In any case, you've probably been hearing the Dresden version of the overture, which is roughly 15 minutes long.
@@geoffwhitemusic : That assessment seems to be correct--- there are two radically different versions of the overture, with the Paris version organically connected to the following Venusberg music, whereas the more commonly-programmed Dresden version (as an orchestral violinist and violist, i have had to labour through the Dresden version three or four times but have never been called upon to play the Paris version...) ends loudly and triumphantly without said Venusberg "stuff". The loud ending, which by comparison with Tennstedt's choice here is somewhat more brief, probably explains its much greater popularity....
What a superb performance and recording! The brass and woodwinds stand out magnificently with clear details, even in the climaxes. From the beginning, one can hear that the sound is rich and full bodied - a real credit to the balance engineers. On the picture side, I would prefer to have seen more close-ups of the orchestral groups, and not so much of Tennstedt, as splendid as he looks.
If you share it with all the people who does not know this music, I am sure that the 99% will feel touched and moved by it. Make this music available to the children, make it available to the people and they will feel astonished and deeply moved like anyone does. It's just that the 90% does not know it. My respects.
was surprised to see a 24 minute version of the overture, thought it must have bern overly slow then. But no, it's actually the original version for the Paris Premiere, not the edited version I was accustomed to! amazing interpretation, btw!
l'incarnation même forever... le visage la main la belle et calme concentrarion mesurée jamais excessive cette sonirité et ce tempo !!! pour moi si j'ose dire the best one...ou justement le spirituel/temporel s'equilibrent justement au regard de la philosophie humaine l'un et l'autre restant quoiqu'il arrive en equation ... une pepite🎶💕
J ecoute cette ouverture très souvent. C'est sensible et puissant tout à la fois et sous la baguette du maestro Klaus Tennstedt c'est la perfection. Vraiment
La Musica di Wagner è una musica, prodigiosa cosmica celestiale e scagiona, nell'animo umano un santo rifugio quietante quando ci capita, x le controversie personali o con gli Altri allora, al sol delle prime noto si avverte quadra senzazione profonda di evadere dai conflitti terreni e aleggiare in una, nuova Dimensione non più terrena, ma divina con l'"espansione della musica di Wagner a me succede questo conosco appena, le sue opere ma è la Musica questa elevata Musica che si stacca dala terra e va raggiungere anche Lei l'immenso universo. Grazie Divino Wagner Dio Benedica, la sua Anima immortale. 🙏💙🎵🌎

Klaus Tennstedt inoubliable...une sensibilité et une puissance hors du commun. Le plus grand à mon sens ! Et il a ressuscité Malher avec tant de talent. Merci Maître Tennstedt. Que Dieu vous garde dans sa lumière auprès de lui pour l l'éternité
excellent sound quality for a youtube upload. This was great work.
I've listened to numerous recordings. This, to me, is sublime. Thank you, Klaus. Xx
Perhaps my favorite work besides the 9th and his Ring So beautiful
This wonderful performance delights my soul.

che meraviglia,una delle creazioni più belle,musicalmente parlando.
I grew up listening to Wagner conducted by Karajan, and I loved it... until I heard this amazing concert! I am now a fan of Klaus Tennstedt and the London Philarmonic.
Tenía que ser alemán para interpretar así a Wagner. Da la impresión de que es la primera vez que uno escucha esta obertura y entiende porqué ocupa el lugar que ocupa en la historia de la música. Claro, lento, majestuoso y profundo. La música de Wagner es música imperial.
Only a German like Tennstedt can interpret Wagner like this. Not even the superb Deutsche Grammophon CD by Karajan has this brilliance and tempo.
Karajan was an overrated mass producer of records!
@@jimcrawford5039 Actually Karajan has two periods, the early, innovative, young turk breaking paradigms and bringing fresh air to symphonic performances and the late pretentious, infatuated, tiranic demigod of the millions dollars performances, hated and feared by *_his_* (as of property) "employees".
One is the Karajan of the vinyl 9 symphonies a very different (aged and capricious) one of the CD album.
I own and repeatedly listen to both. Karajan died in the 70's; his ghost took over. 🤔
@@jorgemtrevinoWhat a bullshit. Karajan died in 1989.
Karajan is a 'hit and miss' conductor. But when he hits, it's really hard to beat his performance.
We need more innovation in arrangement and conducting of classics like Wagner's operas, instead of the insufferable focus on scenic design and woke costumes that's become the norm. Karajan's Wagner is alright but nothing special. Give me this over his interpretation any day, and they can put the singers in trash bags for all I care.
La música Wagneriana es grandiosa, triunfal, épica ; Hermosa ejecución.
Cada vez que escucho ésta version se me pone la piel de gallina...Excelso!!
a mi también ... y se me aguan los ojos
@@luismatos1359 igual yo
Absolutely gorgeous!
I agree a magnificent performance.
Superb conducting.
What a marvellous version!
Magnífico. Bela interpretação do lento e das cordas num movimento de ondas mais rápido...; os solos e naipes estão claros, perfeitos!
The correct pace.. Brilliant!
I've never heard this overture this way before; that I had no idea how so many conductors leave so much out, since when I saw that it would be more that 24 minutes…well all I could think is that the Tennstedt version would be a much slower tempo, only to discover that Wagner had composed so much more, but that so many of our more illustrious conductors chose to edit out so much…Thank you for posting the ACTUAL overture…and many thanks to the late, lamented Maestro Tennstedt for this…Thank You!!….
This is the Paris version. Wagner significantly changed the opera in an attempt to make it palatable to the French opera-goers. He failed, partly because of some very rude members of Parisian society who saw to the opera's failure. In any case, you've probably been hearing the Dresden version of the overture, which is roughly 15 minutes long.
So no one has actually been editing anything. There are two radically different versions of the overture, that's all.

Thank You, Geoff....
Geoff White Thank you for the clarification. I was wondering.
@@geoffwhitemusic : That assessment seems to be correct--- there are two radically different versions of the overture, with the Paris version organically connected to the following Venusberg music, whereas the more commonly-programmed Dresden version (as an orchestral violinist and violist, i have had to labour through the Dresden version three or four times but have never been called upon to play the Paris version...) ends loudly and triumphantly without said Venusberg "stuff". The loud ending, which by comparison with Tennstedt's choice here is somewhat more brief, probably explains its much greater popularity....
Of all the greats he was probably the greatest. The sheer musicality pours out of him.
Just so very moving
What a superb performance and recording! The brass and woodwinds stand out magnificently with clear details, even in the climaxes. From the beginning, one can hear that the sound is rich and full bodied - a real credit to the balance engineers. On the picture side, I would prefer to have seen more close-ups of the orchestral groups, and not so much of Tennstedt, as splendid as he looks.
What a great composer, he evoked the very essence of his mythology, you are able to sense it and feel it. Wonderful. Fm British expat.
99% will never nearly understand this kind of beauty
If you share it with all the people who does not know this music, I am sure that the 99% will feel touched and moved by it. Make this music available to the children, make it available to the people and they will feel astonished and deeply moved like anyone does. It's just that the 90% does not know it. My respects.
Genio el director
False
This is one of the best versions I have heared.
Yes I agree and I can humbly say I listened to many. Tennstedt and the Londoner is the best version.
Klaus es usted grande con los violines. Wagner debió imaginar su Tannhaüser tal cual usted lo interpreta. Sublime. Muchas gracias.
Mi compositor favorito grande aporte de Wagner es sublime
Heute, an seinem 208. Geburtstag, von mir, einem unbedeutenden Hörer: Unglaublich schön!
Bei weitem die beste Interpretation!
6:48 look at him, fencing through wagner like an absolute gentleman
Абсолютно великое произведение. Спасибо!!
Точная формулировка. Не устаю прослушивать!
Orquesta excepcional. Director superlativo.
was surprised to see a 24 minute version of the overture, thought it must have bern overly slow then. But no, it's actually the original version for the Paris Premiere, not the edited version I was accustomed to!
amazing interpretation, btw!
l'incarnation même forever... le visage la main la belle et calme concentrarion mesurée jamais excessive cette sonirité et ce tempo !!! pour moi si j'ose dire the best one...ou justement le spirituel/temporel s'equilibrent justement au regard de la philosophie humaine l'un et l'autre restant quoiqu'il arrive en equation ...
une pepite🎶💕
Magistral.
J ecoute cette ouverture très souvent. C'est sensible et puissant tout à la fois et sous la baguette du maestro Klaus Tennstedt c'est la perfection. Vraiment
La Musica di Wagner è una musica, prodigiosa cosmica celestiale e scagiona, nell'animo umano un santo rifugio quietante quando ci capita, x le controversie personali o con gli Altri allora, al sol delle prime noto si avverte quadra senzazione profonda di evadere dai conflitti terreni e aleggiare in una, nuova Dimensione non più terrena, ma divina con l'"espansione della musica di Wagner a me succede questo conosco appena, le sue opere ma è la Musica questa elevata Musica che si stacca dala terra e va raggiungere anche Lei l'immenso universo. Grazie Divino Wagner Dio Benedica, la sua Anima immortale. 🙏💙🎵🌎
Grazie con tutto il Cuore
Come poteva un uomo così spregevole comporre musica così ? Immobile all amore alla vita al sogno !!!!
I Meet him in Kiel. A musician that was so farsighted. He loved all kind of good music. He is unforgetible. In any rate for me. Jaguar Mercury
Grande y compleja obra de Wagner.Excelente interpretación.
Splendida lucrare! Nu ma mai satur s-o ascult!
Grandios einfach großartig.!
Wonderfull. Wagner is magnific.Tennstedt is pure emotion!!!!!!!!!
I thank Wagner, I thank Germany for such an outstanding composer!
Mon fils d'environ 4 ans m'a demandé un jour d'écouter de la musique de guerre !!!!! Et j'ai fini par comprendre qu'il me parlait de Wagner...
You can feel the german soul in this music...Danke schön Herr Wagner
Thank him for nothing. Danke für nichts, "Herr" Wagner.
La più bella ouverture del Tannhauser mai ascoltata ed eccezionalmente eseguita.
Stupendo upload.
