De beste uitvoering ooit van dit meesterstuk van Richard Wagner. De bevlogenheid van Klaus Tennstedt, de bezieling, de liefde voor de muziek komt volledig tot uitdrukking uit zijn hele wezen en brengt dit over op het alle orkestleden. Zo heeft Wagner het bedoelt. Klaus Tennstedt war einmailig. Geen enkele andere dirigent doet hem dit na om de muziek zo weer te geven zoals Wagner het bedoelt heeft. De emotie, de ontroering komt in deze uitvoering totaal tot zijn recht en brengt dit over op de luisteraar.

[@Erny_Module]

I can't agree more. Tennstedt felt Wagner to the very core of his being, and we are so very fortunate to be able to experience a few of those performances for ourselves.

I've never heard this overture this way before; that I had no idea how so many conductors leave so much out, since when I saw that it would be more that 24 minutes…well all I could think is that the Tennstedt version would be a much slower tempo, only to discover that Wagner had composed so much more, but that so many of our more illustrious conductors chose to edit out so much…Thank you for posting the ACTUAL overture…and many thanks to the late, lamented Maestro Tennstedt for this…Thank You!!….

[@geoffwhitemusic]

This is the Paris version. Wagner significantly changed the opera in an attempt to make it palatable to the French opera-goers. He failed, partly because of some very rude members of Parisian society who saw to the opera's failure. In any case, you've probably been hearing the Dresden version of the overture, which is roughly 15 minutes long.

So no one has actually been editing anything. There are two radically different versions of the overture, that's all.

[@colinwrubleski7627]

@@geoffwhitemusic : That assessment seems to be correct--- there are two radically different versions of the overture, with the Paris version organically connected to the following Venusberg music, whereas the more commonly-programmed Dresden version (as an orchestral violinist and violist, i have had to labour through the Dresden version three or four times but have never been called upon to play the Paris version...) ends loudly and triumphantly without said Venusberg "stuff".

was surprised to see a 24 minute version of the overture, thought it must have bern overly slow then. But no, it's actually the original version for the Paris Premiere, not the edited version I was accustomed to! amazing interpretation, btw!

This is one of the best versions I have heared.

Yes I agree and I can humbly say I listened to many. Tennstedt and the Londoner is the best version.

Wow, sehr beeindruckend diese Aufführung. Ich bin kein großer Wagner Fan, aber diese Ouvertüre dirigiert von Klaus Tennstedt ist der Hammer! Danke!
