Herbert von Karajan - Lohengrin Ouverture

[TheConshuscriterion]

Ah! Sir Lohengrin! The Swan Knight! 

[Bratschistviola]

Dirigent: Karajan; Oper: Lohengrin; Komponist: Wagner. Fragt sich nur och, wer das alles zum Klingen gebracht hat, d.h. welches Orchester??? Denn ohne Orchester bleibt jeder Dirignet, Komponist stumm

Wunderschön,überirdisch,ab 5:50 fängt es an und dann zieht sich die Gänsehaut vom kleinen Zeh bis in die Haarspitzen.....Danke Wagner!

[quegrossocurly]

Furtwängler, Knappertsbusch, Swallish, Karajan & Wagner are stepbrothers for me. Fuck you Barenboim!

[sultanov10]

@quegrossocurly, sure you are better musician than Barenboim, and surely you can play perfectly the Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. All those musicians are fantastic, included Barenboim!

[quegrossocurly]

@sultanov10 His record of the Beethoven's 32 sonatas are surely the worst record i've ever known, insignificant if this is compared to Brendel's recording. lol Not all musicians are fantastic! Especially not this guy, who made his fame by crying for attention to Rubinstein or by sucking the popularity of Ms Dupré.

[sultanov10]

@quegrossocurly Well, that's interesting to read it about Barenboim, but... I meet one Barenboim's pupil, and some pupils of Barenboim's pupils, and I can tell you, I know his work, and I can confirm you that it's not bad music work, believe on me! Greetings!

@quegrossocurly Karl Boehm !!!

[youkounkoun2]

il n'y a que Karajan pour jouer du Wagner.

Exceptionnel...

[Armando1735]

Genial. Humano.

[mtan123456789]

Wagner must have visited heaven before writing this piece. How else would he know what it is like.

[mtan123456789]

I thought perfection wasn't possible until I heard this. Not a single note out of place.

[wtcgap]

Eine wunderschöne Aufnahme. Danke!

[marograz]

wirklich ein hauch von möglicher sphärenmusik--- auf jedem falle schön und inspiriert von anderen dimensionen, da bin ich mir sehr sicher...

[cipooter]

I love it, I love it. My first exposure to Wagner. I suggest you listen the Prelude to Act One as a dialogue between lovers; there are clearly two musical voices as one narrative responds to the other. Follow it along and see where it goes. Then play Sinatra's Makin Whoopee.

THIS Herbert von Karajan - Lohengrin Ouverture better be waiting for me in HEAVEN.

@lovingee1 My friend I'm totally agree with you ! Friederich Nietzsche, a genious, wrote, about Wagner music's, that is the Dionisyac Music, the music of the strong emotion. It leads us to the Heaven. In Wagner's opinion the Walhalla

[fairplaynationalist2]

@mozartbg

But he did change his mind became highly critical of Wagner even singing the praises of Bizet's Carmen as moving us away from the cold North

[epinedoh]

krischan67 so does Wagner. Agree with you

[petelovesbevsills]

Spinetinglingly stunning music - sheer listening balm for sore ears, Bravo and thank you getschi007!

[philmkim]

Which orchestra is this?

[avginkel]

@philmkim must be the Berliner Philharmoniker

[MucusFelidae]

Eigentlich ist es Filmmusik, für Star Wars und dergleichen.

Wie auch die Wagner Geschichten nichts anderes sind.

[avginkel]

@MucusFelidae Gute Bemerkung. Wagners Musik klinkt auch wie aus anderen Welten. Hitler war ein Fanat seiner Musik.

[TomBonnful]

@avginkel ja, das ist leider war. Das macht es mir so schwer, die Musik anzunehmen. Andererseits - die Libretti sind wirklich befremdlich, aber die Musik und die Gesamtleistung - Musik und Libretti selbst gezimmert zu haben - ist schon überwaeltigend. Nichts desto trotz: Die Familie Wagner ist gruselig, und das bis heute

[tomatomarc]

@MucusFelidae Anderum wir ein Schuh draus.... Alle Filmkomponisten sind von Wagners Werk inspiriert worden...

[leffnic]

The best Wagner conductor and one of his best performances of this piece of music.. It is not surprising King Ludwig II of Bavaria (Bayern) was impressed by the beautiful music of the opera Lohengrin.

[CarmonarioDennis]

This piece of music is magical.

[prince2000ful]

Thanks very much to you getschi007. this is more of my taste of music. Love to you.
