The Entry of the Gods Into Valhalla

[@zephyr755]

3:08 arguably one of the best Frohs ever, inviting the gods to step onto the bridge. A small but important part. His last note 3:32, which latches onto the Valhalla theme, is so pure and dignified.

The music of Wagner is the music of my Germanic soul

Wagner'a music is the music of everyboidy who has a soul

sua alma germânica foi para o inferno junto com Hitler. A música de Wagner, como toda grande arte, não tem nacionalidade, nem dono, nem partido político.

[@egomono1]

@@alexsandroalvesartecultura5116 Wrong. The fact that there has a Hitler existed, does not make Wagner's music no german. Wagner although antisemitic, did never say "kill". After all there it is very nice for musical pieces to have different national colour. Except if we are enemies of diversity. Greeks monuments, theater, philosophy, belong to humanity, but are still greeks.

[@melvinmelville7073]

The music is of German culture, but it is for all of humanity. The music is not racist or anti-Semitic, despite the composer's personal views.

[@jasonhurd4379]

Karajan beautifully captures the vainglory and bombast of the final orchestral peroration. Empty chest-thumping and complacent smugness of a doomed race of gods. The only music more devoid of nobility in the Ring is the orchestral passage accompanying Siegfried's battle with Fafner.

[@neuIlaryRheinKlange]

That's absolutely the most beautiful version I've ever listened to, no one is better than Karajan!

[@alnitak208]

What a pity the tempo is too slow.

[@MrPorkmann]

Karajan was the Master.

[@juanafariasestuardo5961]

You don't know W. Furtwangler.

[@sergeymedvedev2493]

@@juanafariasestuardo5961 the one normal recording by Furtwangler is St. Mattew Passion with Elisabeth Grummer. He performs too dull and dry, but for Bach's music such interpretaion is normal. But how much romantic music was spoiled by this dull conductor! He makes each detail, each feature of the music to be clearly heard, but he omits the full impression, Furtwangler ruines music to separate sounds and details. Romantic music must not be performed such way. Karajan is much more emotional and involved, I don't Das Rheingold and Die Walkure better than his.

[@aquariandude3195]

[@frowningangel3730]

Absolutely superb!

[@rachelparay1516]

The bifrost rainbow bridge appears and the glittering Valhalla emerges out of the mist. Wotan to his wife Fricka: "Follow me wife and live with me forever in Valhalla". They hold hands and cross the rainbow with the other gods entering Valhalla. Loge: aside, to himself, " They are hastening on to their end! Ashamed am I of having had dealings with them. I wish I could turn back to flickering flames and destroy them rather than blindly sink with the blind. Who knows what I'll do."

Donner - Robert Kerns Froh - Donald Grobe Wotan - Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau Fricka - Josephine Veasey Loge - Gerhard Stolze

[@ColonelFredPuntridge]

I met Donald Grobe at a party in Berlin in 1984. He was very nice to me; I think he was flattered because I, an American, recognized him from having listened to this very recording of DAS RHEINGOLD. He gave me his comps to the Deutscheoper where he was performing as Don Ottavio in DON GIOVANNI that night. Fantastic performance. His wife told me that he was working on the role of Loge, but I don't know whether or not he ever sang it. Loge is not really right for his voice, IMHO.

(sube a lo alto de un peñasco en la ladera del valle y hace girar allí su martillo. Durante lo que sigue, la niebla va haciéndose cada vez mas densa) ¡Aquí! ¡Aquí! ¡Acá! ¡Ven a mí niebla! ¡Vahos, venid a mí! ¡Donner, vuestro señor, os llama a que forméis ante él! Al balanceo de mi martillo, flotante vapor y niebla, venid acá. ¡Donner, vuestro señor, os llama a que forméis ante él! ¡Aquí! ¡Aquí! ¡Acá! (Donner desaparece totalmente envuelto en una nube tormentosa cada vez más negra. Se oye el pesado golpe del martillo de Donner contra una peña. Un deslumbrante relámpago atraviesa la nube, siguéndole un violento trueno. Froh ha desaparecido también en la oscuridad. A Froh:) Hermano, ven aquí, muéstrales el camino del puente. (de repente se disipa la nube. Donner y Froh se hacen visibles: con cegador brillo desde sus pies se extiende un arco iris que forma un puente sobre el valle hasta la fortaleza, la cual reluce ahora iluminada por el sol de poniente)

Esse Finale para o Ouro do Reno é realmente como visitar Walhalla, como se fosse real, incrível!!!

[@MrLuanMonta]

De fato! É um dos mais imponentes que já ouvi! Um Donner fantástico, um Loge carismático (assim considero tal personagem, ao menos) e um fim grandioso e tangível como uma imagem antiga, quase como se eu estivesse ali vendo os deuses dirigindo-se à Walhall. Não me canso de escutar. Não sou grande entendedor de música, mas um compositor que realmente me hipnotiza é Wagner.

[@vendelisoperaomnia]

+Luan Monta de Castro Pereira de Souza Se você admira Wagner, já é o bastante para dizer que é entendedor, pelo menos na minha opinião. E eu nunca vi Donner melhor, e esses metais são incríveis, o testamento que Herr Karajan deixou para os amantes da boa música.

[@MrLuanMonta]

+Wendel Borges de Oliveira Bem, obrigado pelo elogio hahaha Esse Donner chega a me dar arrepios, é muito possante e imponente! E digo que não sou entendedor por uma série de motivos, como não tocar nenhum instrumento, não saber ler partituras ou diferenciar notas, por conhecer poucos compositores/cantores etc. Eu confesso que não tive tanto contato com música até há poucos anos, com "Der Freischütz", de Weber, que descobri por acaso. Até então eu não via muito sentido ou utilidade naquelas músicas todas que meus amigos e familiares adoravam, de tantos estilos/cantores. Eu não sentia afinidade com nada daquilo, e nunca havia sido devidamente apresentado à música clássica, que me parecia algo distante. Triste, não? Para minha sorte, Weber foi meu "despertar" para esta forma de arte, e me arrependo de não ter descoberto todas essas maravilhas antes. E a música de Wagner tem um gosto diferente para mim porque me remete à infância e aos contos de fadas, mitos, deuses e cavaleiros das histórias de que tanto gostava (e ainda gosto!). Sinto forte empatia com seu estilo de contar histórias, os temas que aborda, os tipos de personagem etc. Não é lá um motivo muito nobre, mas me basta :) É uma extensão de tudo de que eu já gostava, por assim dizer.

[@vendelisoperaomnia]
