Wagner: Die Meistersinger /Celibidache

[@AlexSzell]

My favorite interpretation! Lush, deliberate, bold and grand! We are able to appreciate all the textures, colors and the musical line.

[@veranova6689]

WAGNER THE MAGNIFICENT !!! HIS MUSIC IS BEYOND WRETCHED HUMAN COMPREHENSION... IT HAS THE FULL POWER OF ITS MAJESTY, MIGHTY NATURE.. GREAT, RARE PERFORMANCE AND RECORDING! Every instrument is living beautifully, gracefully and uniquely within Majestic Wagner's harmony.. Majestic is always slow.. fantastically graceful and deeply meaningful, kindly respectful for every tiniest sound...

[@katiesethna]

Mindblowing. And touching the heart! Wagner, the great!

[@MrTagliacozzo]

O melhor Wagner orquestral que já ouví. Impressionante como Celibidache captava a atmosfera wagneriana com a sua singular solenidade e expressividade. Mais que isso, na execução ouve-se tudo e entende-se tudo, na medida certa. Como uma pintura de cuja visão não escapam os mais sutis e belos detalhes.

This kind of music best expresses what I consider true of the Germans: they are the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow

[@edby263]

"Beware! Evil tricks threaten us:/ If the German people and kingdom should one day decay,/ Under a false, foreign rule/ Soon no prince would understand his people;/ And foreign mists with foreign vanities/ They would plant in our German land;/ What is German and true none would know,/ If it did not live in the honour of German masters./ Therefore I say to you:/ honour your German masters,/ then you will conjure up good spirits!/ And if you favour their endeavours,/ Even if the holy Roman empire/ Should dissolve in mist,/ For us there would yet remain/ Holy German art!"

This is the opening of the New Gasteig Arts Centre Philharmonic Hall in Munich on the 11 November 1985 This was part of the festivities that morning 11 AM. The evening berformance was Bruckner 5

[@maria-nh8qo]

Mark Hood, thank you very much. Knowing this little detail, makes this rendition more touching. I wonder very often why they were wearing casual suits and now I know. It was a morning concert. A great day for the MPO's history. Magnificent auditorium and orchestra but without Celibidache never will be the same. Thanks again.

[@javiergilvidal1558]

The Germans have this life-affirming trait of overcoming defeat. Compare with the mourning-riddled atmosphere of "Remembrance Day" among the supposedly victorious British. This is but one hint as to why Germany is indestructible!

[@europeanmusicinstitutevien3137]

@@javiergilvidal1558 The concert has nothing to do with Remembrance day, just opening the new concert hall.

[@rodolfomonaco7926]

un altro che ama andare controcorrente. Rispettate chi come Celibidache ha onorato la musica da grande interprete!

[@polenc7167]

So great! I approve so much of his perfect legatos which required more effort and concentration than the way these passage at the beginning are usually played slurred. Slurring takes the heart and the joy from the music. C. uses slurs only when indicated in the score. What a novel and indeed revolutionary idea.

[@siroyal2040]

Wagner music makes me cry with joy now I've. Found it

[@dsramfam]

This piece was selected as the recessional music at my high school graduation (instead of the usual Pomp and Circumstance). I always flash back to that night whenever I hear it played. It seems fitting (along with P&C) for such an occasion.

[@jeanparke9373]

God bless whoever chose this music over P&C.

[@maartenbrandt3618]

One of the best renderings of this Vorspiel I have ever heard!

[@svrfan]

[@nicholasinghamop2750]

The sheer correctness of Celibidache is marvelous. His conductor's ear was, next to that of Clemens Krauss, the finest of the century.

[@polenc7167]

The opening bars played legato! How beautiful--how un-bombastic. The love shines through. So much legato where it is not notated in the score. Inspired. I wonder how Wagner articulated the score in his original manuscript. Or did later generations tinker with the score to remake it in their own image. About this idea that composer's indicated tempi are sacrosanct--As a composer myself I can safely say that tempi chosen during the process of composition are not the tempi I would choose after letting the piece rest for a while. Yes, faster tempi become slower tempi.

[@Operafreak9]

Good point. Legato makes sense.

[@polenc7167]

@@Operafreak9 Thank you for your comment. I would love to hear more of your thoughts on this performance.

[@Operafreak9]

@@polenc7167 Not much more I can add. I think the tempi are very deliberate,and that seems appropriate for the dignified masters, rather than rushed, or perhaps overblown. Someone commented it is interesting to compare with Solti/VPO. I always lean toward Solti, but this is quite a new experience of Meistetsinger for me.

[@polenc7167]

@@Operafreak9 Thank you. To clarify my earlier comment: Legato is rarely heard in a full orchestra even though it is indicated in the score. Legato means an almost imperceptible pause between notes. This does make the music more compelling to the sophisticated listener. But it is extreme, and I repeat, extremely difficult to do in a full orchestra because it required extreme discipline and exacting precision. After all, why bother when most people won't know the difference. I can assume that record company companies do not want to spend the money for the extra rehearsal time a good clean legato requires in full orchestra. Bravo to this record company executive for caring about music. And bravo to you for hearing this little (but actually big) detail.

[@Operafreak9]

@@polenc7167 Daniel, I am hardly as nuanced as you in hearing these subtleties. I appreciate the lesson. I am glad my appreciation of this particular performance has been broadened. I have also been listening to the brisk Toscanni version. Both electryifying for different reasons. I am sure you have probably studied Wagner's instructions as to what he wanted. It is such a marvelous piece, i think I could conduct it without total failure, but on second thought, as marvelous as it is, it cannot play itself, as I just implied, it needs a masterful hand to balance and interweave all the counter melodies. Meistersinger is often overrlooked, but it is stupendous even in the Wagner canon.

[@paulgodman7939]

Interesting to hear this back to back with Solti and the VPO!

[@Gralsritter]

Thank you Maria. It was the only music played that morning. The Meistersinger Overture was followed by long speeches by various political figures. The main musical event was the evening which, as I said the Munich Philharmonic performed Bruckner 5 with Celi. I watched it all live on Television.

[@hersh1957]

If you check the correctness of Celibidache: he is always right on the tempo and is clean. It’s a pleasure to watch and listen to him. I saw him in Bucharest, 1979, in concert. The encore was the First Romanian Rhapsody

[@seanemmettfullerton]

I totally agree. By comparison, Celi's solid sense of time, phrasing and restraint make most of the top conductors seem over-heated, out of control and desperate.

[@gonzalogallardobareyre]

Manolo Presas And where exactly do you hear Rubato? He's exquisitely equlibrating the sonorities in all possible layers, according to structure and the character of the score.

[@MIGUEL2005LIMA]

Bella y diferente,original interpretación de la bien conocida overtura de Meistersinger. Menos " marcial' , militar acaso más acorde al gusto de los años 30 y el nazismo pero más próxima a la romántica historia de la opera,m as cercana a la lirica de las arias, a la voz Humana lo que le da mas sentido. Aunque me gusta mucho la interpretation enérgica, animosa y con más sabor a marcha militar Prusiana es insoslayable el hecho que de militar la ópera no tiene nada.
