Parsifal

[Kendric28409]

This Song is talking about the spear of Longinus. Apparently, this was the spear the pierced Jesus. Research it!

[nazaritasedicioso]

hasta donde yo se por lo poco que he leido Wagner en ningun momento pidio no aplaudir al finalizar su opera esta reaccion fue espontanea del publico presente en ese momento y que Wagner lo tomo como un halago hacia su obra , y despues quedo como instituido en las demas representaciones , sobre el distanciamiento con Nietzsche es un tema muy diferente que poco tiene que ver con el pequeño debate que nos atañe;Ademas es muy sabido el gran interes del maestro por el esoterismo cristiano.

Of course, music and singing absolutelly wonderful, but ... Placido looks like strange angel without wings and for me is really terrible.

[VicTolkien1]

@LadyDomingo I think you're right! :D

[a9z8a743]

@LadyDomingo Placido Domingo can SING.

[Galladymo]

When I hear this I feel like better human from heaven with power, health and superbrain like hero from heaven...

[rumpwrestler]

Good god, this production with Domingo looks like something from a hollywood film....stupid old fashioned costumes and idiotic sets.....I heard Valerie Gergiev conduct PARSIFAL in Salzburg some years ago and it was sloppy...like the guy was on speed.

VALERI GERGIEV

[nazaritasedicioso]

es el momento mas mistico y grandioso que se halla podido conponer ,ahora entiendo que en el teatro de wagner el publico guardara absoluto silencio una vez concluida esta obra maestra

[FelipeNeriMKT]

@nazaritasedicioso de hecho Wagner pidió que no hubiese aplausos ni nada de eso, no porque la gente lo haga por su propia voluntad... por cierto Nietzsche fue invitado a esta obra por Wagner y salio mas que ofendido de ahí su distanciamiento con Wagner, loser de Nietzsche jajaja

PARSIFAL

But one weapon serves:

only the Spear that smote you

can heal your wound.

Solo la spada che ferisce

è la spada che guarisce.

[winehousedrunk]

Wagner's lyrics and music are of a profound and unsurpassable quality.

[philosophy9949]

I just close my eyes and pretend I am in Heaven. I cry, and my eyes are damp. There is no need for speech. I picture myself making a pilgrimage. This life is a pilgrimage. This is music that truly is from the angels and God

[VicTolkien1]

Thanks for the info!

[Shogunmiyuchan]

Who's the conductor here? And is it on DVD?

[VicTolkien1]

I don't know neither who the conductor is nor if it is on DVD, but I suposed there must be a DVD which includes this piece.

Anyway, if I find it out, I'll tell you! :)

@VicTolkien1

This is from the film: "Parsifal, the search for the grail, a film special with Placido Domingo" (documentary/performance). Musical scenes conducted by Valéry Gergiev. A Tony Palmer film.

Filmed on location in St.Petersburg (Mariinskytheater), Ravello (Italy), Siena (Italy) and Bayreuth.

This is NOT the complete production of Parsifal. The black and white part is from an impressive film of the Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman.

This dvd is to get at ARTHAUS-MUSIK

[VicTolkien1]

@3parsifal Thank you for the info!

[fmaksakov]

[Shogunmiyuchan]

"O, miracle of salvation ... Redeem the Redeemer..."

Controversial - ethereal - Wagner at his best. Brilliantly performed.

[VicTolkien1]
