Wagner - Die Walkure

good lord!! you can do any thing with that set! the prop dept scores again! :)

Prachtig!

Argh I'm so jealous of my dad! He got to see this when it came out in Bayreuth

Boulez... the worst conductor who had the honour to conduct a Wagner opera.... but honestly nowadays is not easy to find a good Wagner conductor.

I had the profound honor of watching a live performance of Die Walkure at the Metropolitan Opera in New York earlier this year; the amazing power of this piece cannot truly be captured on screen; a wonderful piece, and a tribute to human culture.

I was there too. What a profound experience. The Otto Schenk sets were so great too.  It is sad to think they are being retired.

Joshua, the power of this piece has been kept on screen. It's version you're watching here, not perfectly sung but with astonishing power, conducted perfectly and sheer magic.

(short version): Loge, harken, listen here! As I once found you as a flickering flame, and departed in a blazing fire, as once I allied with you, I conjure you now. Arise, magic fire and produce me a fire on the rock. Loge, here! Not accurate from the German, but hope it helps (Lanark8 did the German part already).

ik was reeds lang met de gedachte bezig van dit zou iets voor de Walt Disneystudios zijn : Der Ring des Nibelungen als supertekenfilm

The Bayreuth suond is excellent. I love the recordings from Bayreuth- it is the best Wagner.
And this is of the most powerful opera-endings.
