A Richard Wagner Sampler: His Greatest Hits!

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

I read that Wagner is no 4 First is Beethoven Second Mocart Third Bach.

[metafixi]

@ArchiducDeBelgrade Beethoven, Mozart and Bach are often referred to as "The Immortals". None is greater than the other, they're all gods in their own fields. But I've also seen Wagner on the no. 4 spot many times. He definitely deserves it for creating the largest piece of opera in the world. Everything about is absolutely monumental!

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

@metafixi

Truth. Everything about him is like said monumental. His influence on other composers, music in general is so great. My prof. of music history said once, that Wagner put an"end" on music in romanticism, not just opera,and the way he changed it forever.

[metafixi]

@ArchiducDeBelgrade I could just tell you, but I'd rather let this very, VERY interesting documentary about Wagner. ;) /watch?v=DGODSPL6LfY It is said that Wagner was the one who introduced the basic concept of cinema. :O

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

@metafixi

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU LIKE WAGNER OR NOT.

BOTTOM LINE IS THAT HE WAS A GENUIS.!!!!!!

[viking1960]

Number nine my tail end. Wagner is number one!

[comicfanarky]

Wow? Why do we have to care what Jews think about Wagner? They don't care what I think about the Ziononazi state of Isfake!

[Mase251]

Wagner sung by a mormon choir?? come on...

[wjsado]

what?

[aixelsydyslexia]

@Mase251 Seriously. What is the most prolific choir in the United States doing something like singing prolific classical choral pieces?

[wildninja1]

Nice job with the boutonniere, Mr. Terfel!

[choralcomposerdude]

Nice Job. My only complaint, is of course, that Wagner should have been be number one. But nobody's perfect.

[TomWindsurf]

Is the melody of 'here comes the bride' Wagner's? Thats amazing, really changes the way I listen to that tune!

[OldGrumpyGuy]

Yes. But how does it change the way you listen?

[TomWindsurf]

It changes it from a generic and quite frankly corny tune to a piece of one of the masters. So now I listen to it with new found respect I guess...

[OldGrumpyGuy]

okay

[OldGrumpyGuy]

I think

[wjsado]

this argument was so close to becomning....oh but he doesnt like jewish people.

[noelsingleton]

Anyone who hasn't made love to "The Ride of the Valkries" is missing out on a thrilling experience.

Nice video, Grumpy.

[OldGrumpyGuy]

[debbysmom2003]

Thank you for your work in putting together these videos!

[Palinmaniac]

[whenwilltheyeverlear]

[aggiemarsha]

[rustygaver]

You have great taste!

[Silver65Daddie]

Timeless classics!!! Just like our OGG! You bring a smile to my face and put love in my heart! Thanks again for a job well done---from your #1 admirer!!

[silverstartrucker]

Very inspiring music.

[d0861]

I wonder what Wagner would say if he knew that nearly every modern wedding plays both his and Mendelssohn's wedding marches without a second thought... Probably something anti-Semitic.

[aixelsydyslexia]

@d0861 I hear you. It's just like his operas. Everything about them reeks of anti-semitism.

[rumplydumply]

i like it

[gardnermarketer]

I always used to think of Wagner as over the top and overblown but the last two pieces of music on this vid are really subtle and verybeautiful.

[rdormania]

nice selection

[Raycheetah]

Wunderbar!

=^[.]^=

[Gargeniture]

He's number one to me.
