Happy Birthday, Waltraud Meier 🌹🌹🌹

Gatti knows about the spiritual purpose of Wagners masterpiece.

🎹 Why did they interview Waktraud Meier and show excerpts sung by another soprano!!!!!

What she says ist a contraction to all real great and unsurpassed Wagner singers beginning from Flagstad, Lehmann, Rysanek, Mödl, Varnay, Nielson, Bjoner etc.

Dle Parsifal- Ausschnitte singt Christa Mayer. Wie kann das passieren? Das kann man doch nicht verwechseln!

I‘m very impressed by your words. Thank you Maestro❤❤❤

Met him once! Great singer and personality ❤❤❤

Waltraud Meier, one of the most amazing voices that have done Isolde

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!

Para mim é um crime usarem a música de Wagner com essas palhaçadas de cenários e vestuários que usam agora.

"It's not me who has to judge the man , but God!" "It doesn't change my judgement about the composition ." This phrase says it all ! Great interview !

The most brilliant interview I have seen about Wagner on the s channel! BRAVO

Bravo!!

Awesome !!!

I would love to experience opera - there are many arias that I love but the recitative loses my attention, especially as I don’t know the language operas are written in.

I have been Vágner Love her since I was 15. Slowly but surely over my life I have become more and more entrance with the music drama power feelings emotions this music gives. I agree with the fact Nevada is probably the greatest human being Who have lived. Parsifal does portray A suspension of time. I and enables my brain to delve into wonders no other music does to me. The Ring cycle has a different effect and yet is unique to Wagner’s ability to transport myself to realms not experienced by any other art form. His artistic genius in my mind can be separated from his political and dystopian ideals. Long live Wagner music and it’s effect on mankind lending are unique spirituality nothing else gets to me. Paul Whiteoak

Most geniuses are monsters, in their own way.

May I have the year of recording of this Parsifal version, who are the singers, the director? Just loved the interview!

She needs to write an autobiography

Happy Birthday, Dame Anne Evans! 🌺🎉🌷🎂🥳🌹

Stimme aus den Bayreuther Festspielen August 2022: Den Nazis gehört nichts, nicht die deutsche Sprache, nicht Wagner (trotz seiner antisemitischen Steilvorlagen), auch nicht Bayreuth. Da sollte man drüberstehen können...

You can’t take ANY Wagner interview now, because ALL Wagnerian singers are just dead: Flagstad, Appels, Schluter, Andresen. They just died. And these clouns develop some kind of shit and than give these stupid interviews speaking about shit that they call “voice”

State your ,,,Its possible to separate the Ideologie and so on... state end ...envy and slander ideas as usual.. Its not Wagners fault when the nazis misused his wonderful music. Wagner worked close with Jews,you know that exactly. His antisemitism Was more or less usual this time. Look how Theordor Herzl described his own people in a letter to Baron de Hirsch...1905 about 100.000 jewish refugees from Russia lived in London..Chaim Weizmann one founder of the Balfour declaration, ( output Versailles )coming from Russia ,studied in the antisemetic ? Germany than growing to a british Minister and later as a brit prime of Israel...look to the music and consider Händel not Handel was a german too. When Schiller and Beethoven wrote and composed the 9th ( ode )you sang and sing today...Britannia rule the waves. Think about and stop slander. ( forgotten Holocaust in India and and many more in your own history, Operation Unthinkable from Churchill )

PARSIFAL IS full of wonderful music,, guiltiness,,atonement forgivness, and salvation... and you mention Wagners antisemitism...look what kind of antisemitism you will find in Theodor Herzls letter to Baron de Hirsch..

Thank you so much for posting this! Waltraud Meier is my favourite mezzo soprano. If I'm going to buy an opera on Blu Ray or DVD and she's in a particular performance, that's the one I buy.

Tomlinson is my Santa Claus fantasy come to life! 😜😜👍🏻

must be said, though, that a bad/ boring interpretation in the pit or on stage CAN kill a lot of that magic...

Absolutely the very best in the opera world in my opinion. Her portrayal of Isolde is the very peak of operatic excellence!

Probably the best Kundry ever ❤️

A great pleasure!

Grande !

Je viens de voir l'opéra sur France 4, elle passait à 1:30 du matin mais grâce au replay j'ai eu le plaisir d'applaudir cette excellente version de 2018. Bravi!

She is Great and fantastic 💖

Remarkable man, he passed over a career in civil engineering to advance his singing - yet he is so articulate he could have been a brilliant journalist/communicator too! My favourite Wagnerian. Incredible voice.

Nice

It is frankly off-putting that they show Michaela Schuster in that ridiculous Parsifal from Salzburg instead of Waltraud Meier herself.

What's happened to Mr. Callow's face? Hope he's ok.

Side note: Lady Linda Wong is also a David Bowie song.

More or less nothing about Wagner, but another proof how the Anglos misused his music for slander and politics reason.

Always the same when he Interviews the Singers the Interviewer confronts them with the Nazi Aera ,he doesnt dare the same when interviewing Conductors..which have ein general a deeper knowledge.. Consider the Premiere of Parzival was conducted by Hermann Levy , a Jew.

The Interviewer only wants to know something about Wagners antisemitism and nothing about the music.. Wagner had close contac to the conductor Levi who was a Jew.. Levy conducted Parsival...Wagners Pamphlet was against the influence of the judism in music. Genious or Monster this question you would never made to Shakespeare ( Macbeth and other bloody stories) no no no... that is an untouchable british. Icon .. but Wagner and Germany slander is allowed as usual Since 1871.. ,

"In the train I was reading the text of the ring and I expected already the most horrible thing" Yes I know, the text is about incest, betrayal, absolute greed, and all the terrible and marvelous things in the world. LOL.

Wagners italienische Lieblingskomponisten waren Bellini und Donizetti. Kein Wunder, daß er ihre lyrische Stimmführung bewunderte und dies sich in seinen frühen Opern niederschlug. - Heinz

就这货还有资格评论瓦格纳🙈。 哎，也许在扎扎实实学习10年西方歌剧再说吧。

Absolute goddess.

I discovered Wagner, the Sorcerer, at age 15...I have twice made the pigrimage to Bayreuth, the holy temple of art... I have attended Wagner performances all over the world... I have studied his scores as well as a hundred plus books about Wagner... I have collected letters, manuscripts, busts, and a variety of Wagneriana ... And now, decades later, I joyously and gratefully declare that Wagner's music dramas, his towering personality, his prodigious life achievements... Continue to hold me firmly and forever under their spell.💥 🎹 🎭

Russian please

Compare the beautiful phrasing and modulated speech of Callow to the dull, flat awfulness from the interviewers mouth.

A new English-subtitled version of this film can be viewed at kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4jSZWpmnct1a6M Many other translations of early Chinese films (including several of Ruan's) are also available on the Modern Chinese Cultural Studies channel. Kudos for the China Film Archive for restoring old films and making them publicly available!

These interviews are so interesting. I' m learning so much at an old age.
