I've played the trumpet for 9 years from the 3rd grade thru high school. I've played in marching band, pep band, concert band and jazz band. I was in a youth symphony in the summer of my senior year. Fell in love with the classics then. From time to time I have strayed and listened, and enjoyed, rock and roll, "elevator music", and jazz and I always come back to symphonic music. The first piece I fell in love with was Beethoven's 6th symphony. then I found Wagner, Incredible, doesn't come close to describing his style and creativity. It literally transports me to a musical universe. Regrettably, I haven't played my trumpet in years (not seriously anyway). Advice to young and old, If you play, or sing, never give it up. Pick it up and make some noise. "Make a joyful noise to the Lord." Neighbors may complain, Play on... I Love this stuff.......

[@tankermottind]

Not true. An essential part of being a competent classical musician is being able to fake music that you can't quite master and blend into the orchestra without drawing attention to your mistakes. Chamber and solo music is much less forgiving because you're exposed, but even then, if you have a solid grasp of harmony and improvisation, you can often make a mistake sound natural. As for the music itself, I prefer Maazel's arrangement but this version is still pretty good (and either is better than the *fifteen goddamn hours* the full Ring cycle takes).

[@frankreedy6437]

Being a musical illiterate and talent limited to playing the radio, I don’t understand how orchestral arrangements like this are even brought together. Are the various section musicians following only their sheets? Do their sheets have ALL of the other sections’ notes etc? How the hell do they do it? How do 20 string players produce a single sound so perfectly timed and tuned? You’d think a wayward horn would poke out of line once in a while? Thinking how complicated running a top performing NFL offensive squad of 11 men can be and how many things can go wrong on every single play, I can’t imagine how an orchestra like this gets through 60 minute + pieces so flawlessly? Maybe my ears aren’t attuned to mistakes? Do others hear mediocrity where I hear such beauty?

[@abercrombieblovs2042]

@@frankreedy6437 The trick is practice... Sure, any given orchestra may have not practiced the piece off-stage - but these musicians have. They have ascended the peaks of musical prowess to such a degree that you could give them the most difficult piece of music for their instrument, and they could, on the first try, play it perfectly off the sheet. I'm not very good at piano, and I can't sight read, but I can still play a 3-minute piece to near perfection at full tempo after about a week. This also includes *tempo*; i.e. they will know how fast to play something down to the thousandth of a second. More likely than not. Due to their ridiculous skill in these two regards - precision and tempo - you can pretty much start them off together and they will play through to the very end. Heck, if they get confused on the tempo, all they have to do is to look at the conductor, whose baton is waving with the same atomic-clock precision of a drummer in a band. On top of all this, if someone, somehow, makes a minor mistake, they know how the piece (and their part in it in particular) should sound, so they recognize their error and gets back on track. Even if they managed to make a mistake, especially in a Wagnerian piece like this, their mistake might just get covered up by the sheer weight of all the instruments. I hope that helps :-) P.S. In comparison with a football play (something which I correspondingly know nothing about), musicians have an easy time of it. The bass drummer isn't trying to tackle anyone from the string section, that is. Speaking of orchestras and sports - I reckon you'll like this :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6u7oImlZpujisk

[@ryanstarlight8018]

​@@frankreedy6437 That's why there's a conductor. All the musicians only follow their own parts but the conductor has the parts of the entire orchestra written on his sheets. They're all on time because the conductor guides them with his hands. After spending a lot of time rehearsing or listening to the piece, you know when the musicians from different sections play their parts, so that helps, but you don't need to worry about it too much.

An intriguing arrangement of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen"! As a lover of classical music (orchestral concert music in particular) for nearly 70 years now, I enjoyed this short (about an hour) creative "excerpt" of the Ring cycle and appreciate this performance, having heard the full cycle many times and studied the monumental work for years. To me, this rendition catches the essence of much of the cycle, such as Siegfried's "Death and Funeral March (about 50 minutes into the performance), just to mention one example. I consider the arrangement and the performance a worthy tribute to Wagner's genius (despite his horrible antisemitism). A personal observation: early on, when the (gold) metalwork clanging starts, a few musicians in front of the percussionists were shown covering their ears, apparently to protect their sensitive eardrums. It's hilarious. My beloved Brahms would likely have covered his ears too, though perhaps for additional reasons. I thank all the musicians (the horn section deserves extra credits) and the conductor, as well as the arranger, for this live performance. Highly recommended for all Wagner lovers.

Covering one's ears is often a wise thing to do. I always have a set of ear plugs to hand in the percussion section: high sounds are particularly dangerous...

They are all musical prodigies. The competition in the arts only allows for the best of the best and incredibly long years of study and mastery even for prodigies. Just magnificent!

22:47 Best French horn solo I've ever heard! Nice!

[@davidarmitage2891]

The first 4 or 5 minutes of this wonderful music is performed so perfectly with the pulse of the horns carrying us into an hour of magic! Great conducting and playing!

Did you listen only 4-5 minutes ?

[@mitchellwhite9920]

Superbly executed with a passion that makes it new everytime I hear it.

Stupendous. A kind of perfection. The Wagnerians of Bordeaux salute this triumph of European music. David Williams

This is the best intro I've heard in my entire life and only Wagner knows how to do it.

There are thousands of brilliantly composed openings to orchestral works... this is merely one of them.

To be able to create and appreciate such majestic form of art is what distinguishes humans from other life forms.

[@donde2k]

So wonderful. I wish that there was a blu-ray or even just a cd of this magnificent performance.

[@MegaCirse]

Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and the torpor of the sleeping watchmen !
