  • Magic, real HIGH ART

  • Questa è musica straordinaria, proviene da un mondo extraterrestre, non è scritta da un uomo, è scritta da un Dio. Per me è il massimo.

  • opera sagrada, onde o templo wagneriano se transforma em um templo de Deus ...

  • God I love this.

  • Still waiting for Schlingensief's Parsifal ... Who are the singers / Orchestra????

  • Baremboin, Kupfer.... I suppose it,s Bayreuth

  • @58wotan I think this is from Berlin......

  • Very powerful scene! I like THIS Kupfer.

  • Landulf lives!!!

    []s from Brazil

  • Typical Barenboim: he conducts too fast!

  • Wagner actually complained that people would conduct his music too slow.

  • So right!! Listen to the III act-Prelude conducted by Pierre Boulez.! It is a relevation !!!! Though it is not just a question of tempo ...

  • @abyssimus The tempi got slower and slower and more ponderous directly after Wagner's death...... Cosima and her gang are to blame for Bayreuth bad habits. Then along came Winifred and Hitler......

  • @rumpwrestler Cosima was a real cunt and Winifred roasts in Hell

  • @zoroaster81 Seems that Barenboim's tempi are good and not too fast. Been to Bayreuth for years....remember the KNA performances, and HIS conducting was slow, but magical.

  • This is my death music. I am 57 and encountered Wagner's music at age 16. His music has gone beyond my love for my Jewish friends. I don't know why. I suspect Wagner has found the 'Lost Chord' and we are helpless!

  • @jobe413007

    good idea, listening to this at my funeral the attendents probably visualise me decending into hell itself.

    in a slow pace. :-)

  • @jobe413007 Sprich nicht zu den Angelsachsen, Freund; sie können nichts für Dich tun

  • This production seriously needs to be released on DVD. Real soon.

  • @Chrysothemis  I've got this one on video, but agree, it would great to have it on dvd

  • Quite a staging!

  • cuando se representaran estas obras con la escenografia q fueron ideadas????ideo wagner esto para ser cantado frente a un proyector con los cascos de un caballo galopando???

  • Beautifully staged! The sets, the blocking, the costuming, everything.

    This scene, when I saw it several years ago at the SF Opera, with Donald Runnicles and Kurt Moll, reduced me to a teary eyed mess. It was my second opera and my first Wagner performance. I've been an avid Wagnerian ever since.

    Bring on the darkness! BRING IT! With bells, with bells... amazing.

  • Pure Funeral gloom.

  • UNO DE MIS COMPOSITORES FAVORITOS

  • This was epic and moving at the same time. Thank you for posting this.

  • Very beautiful. And one can hear how much Barenboïm is a great wagnerian (he was invited in Bayreuth each year from 1981 to 1999 - a historic record).

    Is this from Berlin or from Bayreuth?

  • i think it was from Bayreuth; i don't reconize anything from the recent Berlin version i saw last sunday...

  • I believe this is from Berlin in the early 1990's and was available on laser disc for a while but still not DVD yet

  • It's Harry Kupfer's Berlin production from 1992, stage by Hans Schavernoch, with John Tomlinson as Gurnemanz. If you can, go to see the actual Parsifal production in Zurich (Switzerland) under Bernard Haitink, it's fantastic and much better than this!

  • I saw Barnard Haitink conduct Parsifal in December '07 at Covent Garden, with Chris Ventris as Parsifal. Chris also played Parsifal in the 2004 Kent Nagano version which is also on Youtube, absolutely excellent. I cracked up completely more than once!

  • Barenboïm rocks, we need more of him!
