THE FLYING DUTCHMAN by Richard Wagner (Audio + Full Score)

[@douglaskelly1394]

Found this gem at my local thrift store for $3 in glorious stereo. Tonight is going to be a frightening night!

[@duffyd4907]

Well done grasshopper!

[@Michaelhanmusic]

I can’t hear this piece and not think about hindemith.

[@ellenmmartin]

that's on KZbin too!

[@SpaceAgeOdyssey]

What Wagner did with the string section, the rolling chromatics must have been so amazing to people listening in 1840. I imagine it was like adding special effects/miniature sets to a disaster film in the early 20th Century during the birth of film, it was at one time unheard of--and then after its use it became widespread/ a standard practice of the genre, and a film would be, in general, more successful financially if it were to employ the technique. It was, in a word; groundbreaking!

[@PentameronSV]

I screamed when I saw this on my feed.

[@ancientnpc]

Who could listen to the opening and not think of the sea. A man from the desert would think of the sea. Genius.

[@nicosuarez6962]

This Ouverture is a Masterpiece!

[@classicalricky]

this is a REALLY good recording for 1955.

[@christacartwright9083]

yes it is!

[@itamarbar9580]

This piece came to me out of nowhere while I was doing math homework. The ultimate description of stormy weather on the sea, and perhaps of the flying Dutchman itself.

[@Dylonely42]

Wagner is one of the goat of music.

[@Ballstavius]

He is the necromancer. He accurately predicted the industrialization of music and the rise of short, meaningless, songs as a cash grab. He would probably write a 30 hour cycle in protest of the music industry now.

[@fe12rrps]

Your channel is fantastic! Thank you so much for this!

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno]

I KNEW and all your subscribers another Wagner Oper was coming, thank you!!!

[@daveelliott479]

Extraordinary recording and performance. This is a music-drama realization that storms and breathes!

[@elephant012super]

Not only a great job, but also a very nice choice of recording! A thousand thanks!

[@cristobalantonioruizcruz8239]

Fue la primera opera wagneriana que escuche y me sigue gustando como el primer dia.

[@joshscores3360]

He also had Tannhauser but it got removed very quickly.

[@dwightcrooks4976]

Why?

[@vfsozos9117]

You can clearly hear the difference in technique from the 9:30 part up to 10:01 compared to the rest of the overture. Im pretty sure that is something Wagner added many years later to the score.The last few bars of the overture as well i might add.

[@1685Violin]

What technique?

[@vfsozos9117]

The most notable difference is in harmony.

[@tomekkobialka]

Yes, from 9:30 is more recent. You can listen to the original overture here and compare: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp_LqoqVr5yKeKc

Thx a lot for the link.

many thanks for that hint! its is always about art and never about him, he proved it on and on.

[@viviholland1891]

....also are you gonna upload tannhauser and Lohengrin? Because I would literally pledged my eternal soul to you if you did

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno]

Looks like Tannhauser is done but we won't get because of copyright...... as of Lohengrin can only hope KZbin doesn't instantly block it :(

[@highlife0586]

So now I know where the music from the beginning of the Warner Bros. cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd "What's Opera Doc" comes from. Wow

[@voltape]

thank you this is great to have the vocal score in English and Italian in addition to German - I can't get along with German! greetings from Lima, Peru

Notes for myself: 5:47 momento sereno vittorioso 14:04 chiusura 14:47 v.dolce 16:04 effetto archi

you made history again edit: Meistersinger? :)

[@quetzalmarchiori]

Thank you

[@mateuspereira9288]

Just commenting to say that your Mahler 4 video has been blocked under copyright issues. Hope you bring us another one with score. Thanks

[@mateuspereira9288]

It's ok it's copyrighted material, but I really wonder how KZbin gets to know whether it's copyrighted or not. Anyway it's so annoying

[@mateuspereira9288]

Not to mention a wonderful recording of a Wranitzky symphony which also ended up blocked. It was on one of those KuhlauDilfeng channels. You might want to include it in your list :)

[@joshscores3360]

KuhlauDilfeng is not a score video channel, it uses stationary images, so nope that doesn't count.

[@mateuspereira9288]

Oh yeah, missed that

What happened to your Rheingold video?

[@tomekkobialka]

Hi Micha, take a look at Pierre-Julien Godier's comment chain in the Die Walkure video, it's all explained there.

[@michaweinst3774]

Thanks

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno]

It seems Tannhauser got blocked as soon as it got uploaded as well. This is extremely annoying and there's got to be a way around it... KZbin is ruining your channel for me because I am here exclusively for Wagner's Operas :(

[@tomekkobialka]

I think I will have to take them up on it, because it's becoming evidently clear that their system simply doesn't work.

[@michaweinst3774]

By the way, I didn't catch the video on time, so which recording did you upload to Tannhäuser?

[@lawrence6648]

Just a stupid question. When did wagner actualy started using leitmotifs?

[@Leoptxr]

Well, this Opera is know as the first one in which he displays a discernible style. But my guess is far earlier.

[@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivy]

It depends on your definition of leitmotifs. There's no single answer (especially since leitmotif was not a term Wagner himself liked at all). Little motifs appear in every Wagner opera, but this one is the first to utilize them heavily (as far as I know). But the motifs in this opera aren't really leitmotifs, as in say Der Ring des Nibelungen or Tristan und Isolde. Wagner's use of leitmotifs further developed in Tannhäuser and Lohengrin. Though I'd say the first time the Wagnerian leitmotif as we like to think of it really showed up was in Das Rheingold.

[@musik350]

@@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivy Why shouldn't we already see the Holländer motif as a perfectly valid type of leitmotif?

[@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivy]

@@musik350 Well, I'm sure you could call it a leitmotif, but Wagner's more unique way of using motifs really began to shine later. But that's mostly just my opinion, based off of other's. You may certainly believe as you wish!

[@musik350]

@@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivy You are right that his more elegant way of transforming them only began later, yes

What a weak performance of that overture. It has no power or bite. Sad. Impressive for 1955 though, I guess.

The brass is literally deafening 💀
