Oh, yeah, remember this playing in Captain America? The scene with the professor entering Schmidt's room to talk about their upcoming assassination while Schmidt was posing for a portrait without his mask. Though he turned off the lights the hints of the artist painting with a lot of dark shaded red paint and his ghastly look had the audience sold that Schmidt was no longer human.
And that music was icing on the cake. Perfect music selection.
classical is in the roots of metal and me playing both bass guitar and guitar and also the upright bass i always knew that this music was far more dark and evil then what any of the metal bands i listen to have made but this is just brutality adn sinisterness far beyond imagination stay heavy!
This music truly is beautiful. Very interesting feel to it that it has two tones: a dark overreaching tone, and a very hopeful tone, more at the end. I wonder if Wagner had an interest in the duality of people as a whole.
listen to some of hitlers speeches he sounds like he didnt want war at all, what he was really concerned about was the future of his people he considered many of the countries around germany to be "his people" and looking at history, they really were
I would disagree that this piece inspires conquest. At least to me. It is more about beauty and the hopefulness that comes after the hero's death (to go off of the original storyline). If you want conquering music, try the ride of the Valkyries :)
@ArthurCold6 are you serious? Hitler wasn't that bothered by the soviet rise, or the rise of communism, he didn't agree with communist ideals or its rise in popularity... but his main goal was to rule, to build a German empire which he thought was their 'right' as the Aryan race.
That is what most of the hollywood movies always shows on screen, stoping the Sovietic Marxism was Hitler's goal, but if you read another sources you will find that Stalin was a jew, as Churchill, etc. Germany was not interested in a war with England or even less USA.
@ArthurCold6 i agree that he was not interested in war with britain... but saying films portrait it as being against marxism is totally untrue, hollywood films make it us vs germany 'because hitler wanted to kill every one' etc etc. a load of rubbish i agree
i also agree that hitler didn't like communism, but its just a more extreme form of socialism which nazism is also a part of, ideologically they are not that different, but you CANNOT honestly say hitlers only goal was to stop marxism?
I find it interesting that from 1700-1900 all of the great musical geniuses were german. I don't know what the reason was for that, or if there is a correlation...but it is an observation.
@the81stviewer I want to say it has something to do with the location of the "musical capital of the world." Don't quote me on that cause I could be wrong.
To truely understand the nature of the German Nation; the German Soul, is to transend all that is ordinary. To know Germany is to love Germany. Few will ever know what might have been . . . . .
I've aways put off getting to know Wagner as his works seemed so epic they were a little daunting to an outsider. Now I've had the time and the pleasure I rate him up there with the greatest of musical genius (although no one will ever be in the same league as Beethoven). The man was unique in every sense and clearly had a vision of what music should be and had the courage to stick to it. An all-time great,
@house1976 I was introduced to wagner by my client and I am so great full to now know his music and will listen to his music.... no matter what! I will never forget my client who introduced me to him ! I was familiar to his music before but did not know who it was ! Now I know and glad to know ! Thanks so much, look forward to more .
Wow. I had no idea this was Richard Wagner. I thought it was just the soundtrack for the (most excellent) movie "Excalibur". Actually I have to admit I know very little of Wagner's work. With so many classical composers I just never got around to listening to him. I think now, perhaps I have heard more of him than I know, I just never knew it was him. Anyway, he definitely had a style all his own. Maybe even a little ahead of his time?
@gjc82071 LOL. Not laughing at you, laughing at myself. I "discovered" Wagner through Excalibur also. First "grown-up" movie I ever snuck into. Wanted to see naked females, ending up falling in love with his grandiose works instead. The whole movie was full of Wagner pieces. A perfect match for the Arthur legend.
your sacred germany is a land of mechanical units deemed as germans, manufactured through decades of systematic institutional administration. take this piece as a hymn for those tortured minds.
I first heard this 10 years ago and it still moves me today, this was one of the last pieces in the programme played by the Berlin Philharmonic on the 28th March 1945 as that beautiful city fell.
This is total war, as an American or Brit we have no right to judge the horrors of total war on the homefront.
9/11 and German night raids over London are just ... a taste of it. You don't know no of any real horrors and thus witness how IT changes society and ravages others.
-
When 9/11s become habitual ... you then will know savagery and can judge others for yourself. I hope you never do. Wagner incredible 4:50!
@ardnahane Let's not get carried way with ourselves here. It wasn't exactly a terrible thing that Berlin fell to the allied forces. Wagner was a fantastic musician, but let's not bring the secnd world war into this.
This is the music at the end of Excalibur. After his battle with Mordred Arthur gives the sword to Perceval to return it to the lady of the lake. It will stay with her until Arthurs return. P.S. I hope its soon, Muslims are destroying europe
DuMkOy----Your language and choice of words do you credit. It reveals to practically all who watch and listen to this video what a total brainless, uneducated idiot you are. Since your vocabulary is limited to gutter words, you display your inability to understand the meaning of beauty.
if you want to understand wagner you should know about Nietzsche. If you want to understand Nietzsche you have to read his masterpiece and the root of his philosophy, ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA. If you want to understand that, you should know about Zarathustra.the whole theme is based on the aryan mythology! look for parsifal, the persian sassanid prince.wagner like nietzsche was inspired by aryan mythology. niebelungen is nothing but modern version of 7000 years old aryan zarathustrian mythology!
