Richard Wagner - 'Tristan und Isolde' prelude to act 3 conducted by Böhm

[Vlaanderson]

The theme gives me the impression to hear someone breathing. Then I feel like my heart skips a beat.

[henrids]

Wagner wrote some antisemitic stuff, like most other western intellectuals of his time. He basically also revolutionized theater performance and writing, music and thinking about art. Now get over it, and enjoy some of the deepest music ever offered to human ears.

superb...



[Itzihache]

Why do you always relate Wagner to nazism? Why are you so simple? Why don't you link it to mythology or film directors? Why is that everything in the world is "antisemitic" or "sionist? Why don't you leave us alone or find a good therapist? People like you killed scientists in the name of religion or forbid music and books in the name of the state. Makes me cry..

[Thesaeed23]

Boring. Its not like Mozart is it?

Hitler's favorite

[VileIntentionsUS]

@frostflow Though Wagner was Hitler's favorite composer, his favorite song was "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven. Of course, people don't feel the same need to constantly mention the Third Reich on Beethoven videos as they do with Wagner for some odd reason...

[MegaDocalex]

@VileIntentionsUS And do it for Disney too!!!!!!

[lukawski100]

@VileIntentionsUS I give you a clue : because Wagner was an antisemit..

[VileIntentionsUS]

@lukawski100 So were Bach, Martin Luther, Henry Ford, and Walt Disney. Hitler admittedly admired and respected the varied talents of all of them... yet all I ever hear mentioned in this context is Richard Wagner. That's my point.

[lukawski100]

@VileIntentionsUS Yes but in a wagner opera there is an antisemitic part (I don't remember in which one, sorry). It's like the french writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline, he was far from being the only antisemit writer in france, but it didn't appear in the other famous writer's books and it appeared clearly in some if his books. I guess that's the reason....

WAGNER ÜBER ALLES !

Peace in death; free from harm; at rest in a devine light.

[Muugison]

This truly is amazing. Did you know that two men died of heart attack while conducting this act. It is said that they knelt down at the exact same spot. How Powerful ? ..

[JMillerBayRidge]

The karajan version is amazing..

[xanglat]

Great !

Beautiful !

I love this part

Thank you very much for posting

[LetiziaRocca]

I love his music! Too bad one man had to put the shadow on his art.

[Grondorn]

sad and painful......

[runupahill1]

Thank you, herblich1. I too have been looking for the mässig langsam, fizetr; now I'm waiting for the definitive Furtwängler version.

[septip123]

I adore this

[ezev8logos]

I think this is the best prelude of wagner. it is so powerfull at the same time peacefull it is amaizing

[JMillerBayRidge]

@ezev8logos I definitely prefer this 3rd act prelude to the more popular one..but I think that out of all of his interludes/preludes, Parsifal's Mittag is the greatest

[Supersinger007]

@ezev8logos Its my favorite too. I thought I was the only one lol

[fizetr]

i have been looking for this mässig langsam in youtube for a long time. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[Improvizer]

English horn solo = beginnings of Modernism

[thebloads]

i dunno it sounds like a regular melody to me. except it does traverse more keys and chords.

[MagoLerio]

I agree...
