    Indeed after having wrestled with the issue for years I have come to admire not only the singular musical figure that is Richard Wagner but much more so the philosopher and poet.

    I might be bold in claiming this but in all the time I have spend with so called great art I have not come across a singular author without some stains.

    In his message, in his works - in what really mattered to Wagner above everything else:

    I find the most thorough humanist of all the great geniouses.

    One more thing about Parsifal ( forgive me for trying your patience).

    A nice introduction to the problem:

  • L'amour....

  • 4:00 !!!

  • @mrpossibilities Your sarcasm is almost insulting. Smh.

  • @Vaderduder I never thought of it from the unfamiliar-viewer's perspective! Of course, just a preference. I've actually seen this opera production online in its entirety - and it's generally quite great!

  • @windstorm1000 Her name is Waltraud Meier

  • @Conoror536 No! reunion and caskets are a way of expressing the death too people who maybe don't know the story line, in a beautiful and poetic way. Without it, it would still stand as a very poignant and moving performance. This just adds a drop more of emotion to the song. but then again it is your opinion and your opinion alone

  • @twooffour i've heard a lot of german speakers say this and i thought it was strange until i heard figaro in english and found it very difficult to follow hah.

  • @NazTb0y

    Not so much because of the singer, I might add, but just the loud operatic style of singing. Schubert's songs or whatever are much easier to understand as they're sung more quietly, but this... can get hairy.

  • @NazTb0y

    Yea, fluently. I understand individual lines, but then all the others are like a blur.

  • @twooffour do you not know German? I don't find WM all that hard to understand...
