Wagner 'Der fliegende Holländer' - Ouverture part 1 - New Philharmonia / Klemperer

[Reno750]

I was reading a Touhou doujin titled "The Flying Dutchman" while listening to this.

@Azriel123456789 Truth

@Azriel123456789 As far as I know there hasn't been anything like "bpm" or exact tempi "to be played in xx seconds" in that time. I have read an articel which said that the Karajans of this world played many things much too fast. Example: If you listen to Mozarts "Rondo alla turca" you will notice that it is played very fast most of the time, but it is supposed to be a march, like the turks marched onto vienna. It is not "running away". Maybe this ouvertoure is played slow to show some "storm"?

Beautiful piece of music.  Yes, the painting is "The Flying Dutchman"

[TheVoitel]

@AnthonyJK1982 i don't like the painting, it's too much pirates of the caribean style.

In the real Flying Duchman Myth it's a ship with a black mast and red Sailings.

@moeituniet: "flying dutchman" maybe? ;-)

[moeituniet]

'Simply' amazing...

Beautiful painting too, what's the name of it?
