Wagner: "Tannhäuser" Overture / Claudio Abbado - Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra (1998)

[@user-AZ-phil]

I remember, far too many years ago, hearing an orchestra member comment how wonderful it was to hear a recording of a concert he had played in because he didn't have to pay attention to the part he was playing and could just sit back and enjoy the music. How very lucky these young people are now that they can not only hear how wonderfully they performed, but now they can watch themselves perform it! Bravo to technology, and bravo to one of the most beautiful pieces of classical music! 🎉

[@observatory87]

Wonderful performance of one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

Wagner is eternal. His music stirs the soul

@@jakeplonk888 30 seconds shorter than the Herbert von Karajan recording, this is not life threatening.

[@grumpy9721]

Given that the choice of tempo is subjective, I prefer Abbado's to Karajan's.

[@dbyers3897]

A beautiful orchestra. The sound and looks of the members are both so gorgeous. Wagner is a challenge which they met with grace and poise. Bravo!

As a child, my first exposure to opera was the famous Bugs Bunny cartoon that used themes from Wagner. This brings those memories back to me in great passion. With appreciation…

Тронуло до слёз. Исполнение великолепное, скрипки просто восторг. Я слышал этот оркестр в живую в начале 2000Х , с восьмёркой Маллера. Помню как первые 15 минут они играли не очень складно, видимо не сыгрались после перелёта, но потом выдали такой уровень. Что пожалуй это было одно из лучших исполнений которые я слышал. Браво Маэстро , покойтесь с Миром.

Wagner y su musica ya son patrimonio de la humanidsd. Un gran genio musical.

[@jesustovar2549]

Claudio Abbado came to conduct the Simon Bolivar Youth Symphony Orchestra, I admire and respect him much, one of the greatest conductors ever, this overture has been one of my favorites since I discovered it, I love Wagner's music and I loved this performance, very good youth orchestra, named in honour of Gustav Mahler (one of my favorite composers). Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela, I really love this music.

[@josefinabeatrizscotti2086]

La orquesta Simon Bolívar de Venezuela magnifica gracias abado por dirigirla❤❤

Thank you for such sweet sentiments. Yes Wagner was a Master of his own making. And our likewise lasting love in memory for Conductor Claudio Abbado . May both of these fine gifts to the world of classical music Rest In Peace ✝️

[@mariarosanovello7803]

Non sono una persona facile alla commozione,ma mi emoziona vedere Claudio Abbado ancora in salute,ogni volta ricordo il suo sorriso e la sua gentilezza con tutti,come quando l'ho visto a Torino ormai parecchi anni fa...

[@graziettacarcetta2498]

Grande Wagner e grande Abbado👏🏆

[@claudiocampaniolo1040]

Indubbiamente nel panorama molto vasto della musica classica è uno dei pezzi "forti", perchè ti da una carica emotiva unica che ti penetra nello spirito, ti ritempra, con un linguaggio moderno direi ti "resetta" con la potenza, la forza e nel contempo la mitezza delle note, lascia un segno indelebile. L'overture e nello steso tempo dolce e struggente, è un'opera che riveste i crimi dell'immortalità, tra mille anni chi sentirà questa musica percepirà il senso della novità ma anche la gioia , il piacere ed il gusto di riascoltare un meraviglioso e sfavillante Wagner e per completare, dulcis in fundo, un plauso al grande bravissimo direttore Abbado che è stato ineccepibile.

[@vardanpetrosyan6293]

[@laurencegourbeyre7069]

J'aimais beaucoup Claudio Abbado ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@HarryFlashmanVC]

Always a hoot to play this overture, I have played it both as 1st and 2nd fiddle over the years and those chromatic scales are ... 😁

[@hovsepdikran8811]

That is because of lack of tempo balance between trombones and violins

[@mariaanarusijan37]

Absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you WAGNER💖

[@pav689]

Claudio è stato uno dei motivi di orgoglio di essere italiani (come Toscanini, Sinopoli, che ci ha lasciato troppo presto in ultimo.anche Luisi, che andavo ad ascoltare quando dirigeva Verdi al Metropolitan. Tanti bravi direttori italiani, peccato ci sia in giro Muti), io Abbado lo ricordo da giovane che pubblicizzava le casse AR3, poi mi rese orgoglioso quando i Berliner lo elessero alla successione di Karajan. Poi la Scala ovviamente ed un pacco di orchestre prestigio. Quando è morto io ero in USA e ne fui turbato. Qui mi piace vederlo con questa orchestra di "ragazzini" dirigere questa celeberrima pagina di romanticismo wagneriano, che é anche una delle migliori composizioni di sempre, con una passione che lo fa apparire più giovane dei suoi musicisti.

Bravo! I've always been a fan of Claudio Abbado and these young people were magnificent. Some of them are approaching their fifties now. I hope they've all done well. Surely, they will treasure this experience for all their lives.

[@esyomusicdirector4281]

Or passed 50;) It's life of course, so ups and downs, pain and joy, but many of this group have done well. Some became members and leaders of some of the best orchestras and chamber music groups and some have even become world renowned soloists and legends in their own right (e.g. the concertmaster, his younger brother, at that point a very young section cellist, third trumpet). And I'm sure all of us treasure this experience and it has been essential in forming our musicianship and personalities. Daniel, who uploaded these videos wrote a comment on another video: "The downside to playing in this when you're 22 is that every further performance of this work in your life will feel disappointing!" That's true as well, it's a challenge sometimes.

[@rosaruta2498]

E pensare che il compositore divenne un mito nazionalsocialista......Abbado ha una cura psicologica del testo che fa accapponare la pelle.......e' gentile morbido e icastico, al tempo stesso appassionato ma rende appieno la sensazione di potenza che emerge da Wagner.

[@flaviusaetius8358]

È una cosa veramente triste. Wagner scrisse degli odiosi pamphlet antisemiti ma aveva amici ebrei tra cui anche il suo direttore d'orchestra più fidato. Nella sua musica ho sempre trovato solo l'espressione della redenzione dell'essere umano attraverso l'amore per il suo prossimo. E nel ring descrive la corruzione dell'anima provocata dal denaro e dal potere. Penso che la sua musica sia quanto di più lontano possa esserci dal nazismo

[@margotgraefinvonkoenigsmar6662]

Bemerkungen über den Nationalsozialismus im Zusammenhang mit Richard Wagners Musik nützen niemandem. Lasst uns endlich frei werden von diesem Gedankengut und erfreuen wir uns an der ewigwährenden herrlichen Musik Wagners...

[@severinacappelletti8364]

@@margotgraefinvonkoenigsmar6662 Liebe Margot, sono d'accordo con te sulla necessità di rivedere la correlazione tra nazismo e la musica di Wagner. Però è vero che lui era antisemita, almeno con ho letto. Cari saluti da Brescia Italia 🥰 💟🎵🎼
