Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg finale - English subtitles

Richard Wagner's opera was performed at the "The Metropolitan Opera" in New York (2001).
With an all-star cast, impressive stage design and a great camera-work, it's one of the best Versions.

What an absolutely beautiful production.

@LeRinkRat

Did the thought that James Morris is simply not to everyones taste ever occur to you?

It takes more to sing Wagner then a loud voice. Listen to a truly great Wagnerian singer like Thomas Stewart ( Texan I believe ) treating the same material with alot more dramatic heft and verve.

As for the so called "Bayreuth snobs"; it is quite simply true that the MET does not operate on the same level as the other great houses in the world, least of all Bayreuth.

Man erlebt zwar immer wieder aberwitzige Inszenierungen, aber niemand kommt auf die Idee, diesen nur aus dem 19. Jhdt. verständlichen penetrant-nationalistischenTex­t endlich der Gegenwart anzupassen.

Just seen a production of the opera in Zurich and it was awesome!

@DADUGUAN Haha, have a read of Laurence Dreyfus' book, "Wagner and the Erotic Impulse". Er würde Sie erzählen, das ist ziemlich dasselbe!

@HerrWagnerfreund Well you see, black and Asian minorities really were Very important to late Mediaeval culture, particularly in Germany... it was just white-guy prejudice that attempted to eradicate all that and make no mention of [them] in the histories, scientific and musical life, etc. This production of Meistersinger does us all a great service in Correcting (politically and otherwise) that misconception and presenting Nurnberg as it truly was...

sounds labored

@HuninMunin ".....a very close second to Karajan's in my opinion". IF you are speaking of the von Karajan 1970 EMI recording which was re-mastered and released on CD in 1999 with Theo Adam as Hans Sachs, Rene Kollo as Walther and Geraint Evans as Beckmesser, I don't think it's that good compared to a lot of the Met performances I have heard on SiriusXM and if the rest of the 1967 Kubelik is as good as Thomas Stewart's "Verachtet mir die Meister nicht" it's NO contest.

@LeRinkRat

Glad to see that sometimes even on youtube something fruitfulll emerges from arguments.

Kubelik's Meistersinger ranks as a very close second to Karajan's in my opinion.

I can wholeheartly recommend the his recently emerged Parsifal aswell.

The best recording avaiable.

As for DVD releases I think we will have to wait until Glyndebourne's excellent ( read very human ) production is released.

@LeRinkRat and like I have said before "alles ist gut nur, dass einige besser sind"

[LeRinkRat]

@HuninMunin you have your opinion and I have mine. I just think that Morris's "softer" presentation of Hans Sacks fits the part better than most BUT you ARE correct about Thomas Stewart's "Verachtet mir die Meister nicht" which was recently posted by Addiobelpassato. IT'S SPECTACULAR!!! in fact, I enjoyed it SO much, I ordered the re-mastered CD of that 1967 recording conducted by Rafael Kubelik with Sandor Konya as Walther, Gundula Janowitz as Eva and Thomas Hemsley as Beckmesser.
