Molto bello. Complimenti. Il Compianto è sempre toccante. Ciao!

Che bel video, rilassante e brillante. Grazie Gabrilú 🌷

meraviglioso! grazie gabrilù. quando rileggerò la récherche avrò in mente queste splendide immagini.

I have loves this movie since I was a kid. The final scene where the camera pulls back always gives me chills. I can't believe I never noticed the guy falling!

Wo ist dann Joachim hin - frägt sich unsrem Hans Castorp. Die sieben Jahren Reifeszeit ist bald vorbei...

Fantastico...!!!

Chanté avec tellement de grâce !!

I don't get why people keep saying this film is horrible. I've loved this movie since I was a child. I've never seen the play live but I looked up some live broadways performances on youtube and to be honest, I found myself comparing the actors in the play to those in the movie. I thought the movie was much better. Maybe it depends on what you saw first.

Boulez ruins this lovely music by not paying attention to the unique Bayreuth acoustics. Listen to Karl Bohm, he got it just right with lovely portamento in the strings

Just realised I knew Ben Luxon in my student days.

The only Adele I have found so far who actually laughs as if she means it. Lovely voice.

OH Donald McIntyre!!!

Dear God, don't you even know they are not the same Strauss?

Elena Cavini, come non dedicartelo?

I don't know. I wrote that comment 6 years ago. I love her in other Strauss roles, but it sounded to me as though she was pushing in the lower range on this recording. But I love her as the Marschallin, which is bigger. Maybe it's just preference.

Why is the role too big for her? She has a big enough voice to sing over the orchestra in Strauss' lovely operetta

Wasn't Fosse involved with this film? I see his style.

Tradizione immancabile anche per me...sembra di sentire la vera essenza del Natale...

Jochen Kowalski is the Orlofsky, no?

è il ritratto dell'Italia

che perla!!!!

Yep he did. What a wonderfull book.

Parigi, agosto 2012

It must have been great... I've got a video recording of Le Nozze from Glyndebourne (1973, I believe) with Luxon and Te Kanawa (and other wonderful performers), and I absolutely adore it. It's a pity I'm far too young to have been able to see either of these productions live.

Yes, It is Benjamin Luxon. I actually saw this production, with Kiri Te Kanawa and Herrnann Prey and Placido Domingo conducting. It was great fun!!

I have a feeling that this wonderful piece could be counted in a Christmas song.

Certifié intergalactique! Inégalée!

Mi risveglio a mezzo giorno: Suono appena il campanello, Che mi vedo al letto intorno Supplichevole drappello: Questo cerca protezione; Quello ha torto e vuol ragione; Chi vorrebbe un impieguccio; Chi una cattedra ed è un ciuccio; Chi l'appalto delle spille, Chi la pesca dell'anguille;

Bravo Rossini e a seguire tutti gli altri: regia, luci, cantanti, orchestra. Eccezionali tutti!

Semplicemente meraviglioso!!!

All I can say it was AWESOME!!

And that was Chereau's real genius in completely re-visualizing the concept of the Ring. I attended in 1976, I didn't "like" it but I knew I was seeing something hugely important in HOW to understand Wagner. I expected (and wanted) gods 'n goddesses, fairy-tale castles and what we got was this. But 40 years later it's still as important as ever because it contains a key that many (if not most) viewers simply miss. Indeed it could be the White House, or Gates and Obama, etc, and still make sense.

But the point of "mythology" is to set those huge themes: power and lust, life, death and love, characters larger-than-life but RECOGNIZABLE. For the Greeks, it was Zeus and Hera; in Norse, Wotan, Fricka and Loge... for our "mythos," how about Carnegies and Mellons, Vanderbilts and Kennedys? THAT is what this depicts: the themes are unchanged, the characters still recognizable; the Imagery here is Industrial Revolution billionaires. (How about Valhalla as the White House? Same idea...)

I thought this movie was just excellent,, and great cast too,,, The Pulitzer Prize winning Marvin Hamlish,, AWESOME!!

Nice video. Did bring me back some great memories... :')

Araiza is the best Ramiro ever.

is this also the film version soundtrack or did u edit it? it sounds amazing!

looks pretty awesome so far, very very stylish and well produced, I have to check that out closely, siegfrieds funeral is unbelievable , but thats probably because its my absolute favorite moment out of whole wagner

If you haven't already, check out the 1989 recording from the Met conducted by Levine. It's a killer performance in the traditional style. There's a reasonably priced DVD set, and I believe much of it is on KZbin as well.

nope never read that, but it definitely puts a different spin on all this. Still Im much more comfortable with what Ring is for me - a kickass mythology tale

Have you read The Perfect Wagnerite by George Bernard Shaw? It was published in the late 1800s, and argued that the Ring is in fact a parable about the time in which it was written. This production just took that idea one step further, and actually staged the work as such. It's just fine to reject that whole premise outright, but it's only fair to appreciate this production as the immensely thoughtful and sincere effort that it is.

I remember seeing this on Chan 13. Wonder where I can get the full ring like this on DVD (I think that is what they call it now) WOW What memories. I so LOVE my opera. Too bad I have to give it all up. My last season at The Met. Why?? No money. Poverty. It all caught up w/me.

Orlovsky is written for MEZZO- SOPRANO!!!!

good idea. Learning about The magic mountain right now from my medicine teacher. good cd he has.
