The first time i saw and heard this scene I started to weep. This is the scene I fell in love with Wagner.

[@mericet39]

How is that you can spend most of your life hating opera and then find a piece that blows you away and almost makes you cry? This is such an incredibly powerful piece and I'll never forget it.

[@johnmavin7501]

Wagner makes this possible. I once took a friend with me to Bayreuth who hated opera and classical music. (He had lost a bet lol) He went very very silent and hardly talked in the intermission. At the end of Walküre, he actually cried

[@jordipanadesribera6890]

WUNDERSCHÖNE. Ich danke ihnen dafür.

[@silvanacosimi5550]

Wagner è unico o lo si ama o lo si odia non ha vie di mezzo ...ed io faccio parte della seconda schiera ....una cosa è certa ..non si puo rimanere impassibili all immensita di questa musica !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Ironfootx1]

Speechless... All the thrill and emotion are lost when the ring cycle is sped up like the trashy met performances.

[@susannevollmer2347]

Very good voice! Usitaloo!👍😍

[@Mase251]

4:55 one of the most epic opera moments ever

[@reiffurdieinselazorenquint6265]

Diese schöne klassische Musik würde ausgezeichnet zu meinem Feuerzauber passen.

[@juldir]

Uusitalo is one of yhe great Wotans of all times.

[@silvanacosimi5550]

Perdonatemi volevo dire che faccio parte della prima schiera ..lo amo fin dall età di 12 anni

[@nikodemus7777]

Eine sehr beachtliche Produktion! Juha Uusitalo ist erstaunlich gut, auch Zubin Metha kann zur Abwechslung mal überzeugen. Warum am Tempo rumgenörgelt wird erschließt sich mir nicht, ich finde es optimal. Sogar die Inszenierung kann man ansehen ohne Augenkrebs zu bekommen. Findet man heute nicht so oft...

[@hendrixxxm637]

Ich war von dieser Produktion gleich überzeugt. Sie zieht mich noch mehr in Wagners magischen Bahn als ohnehin ...

[@garfreed]

3:45 If you've ever wondered what fire in a crowded theater looks like.

[@jmballestra7607]

Sublime à tous points de vue !!! J'aime bien le tempo relativement lent de Zubin !!!

[@hendrixxxm637]

me too. Zubin ist one of the best (saw him often in Munich, first time in Vienna)

[@Operafreak9]

I do not get the costumes and the machinery, but thought the visualization of Walhall the best I have ever seen, Obviously, it is a mental construct inside the head of Wotan. The gods walk blithely into the delusion and are caught as if in a spider's web.

[@sedtamensum]

Great Wotan. Tempo is indeed questionable. Following "nie" the orchestra choked and the brass remained about 1/16 out of synch. Wish Kna were alive. Thanks for the video, you did us (Wagnerians) a big favor!

[@MHOTOR]

seltsame Inszenierung: Wie eine schiefe Geburtstagstorte - trotz viel realem Feuer ist es keine Flammenlohe

[@hendrixxxm637]

Eine der besten Einspielungen überhaupt. Eine meiner insgesamt sieben. Der Regisseur hat Wagner verstanden!

[@michsturge]

Tempos are a bit sluggish and the magic fire looks like a birthday cake.

[@carlolsen5120]

Very nice, but he looks like he's on a toothpick in the middle of a birthday cake.

[@johnmavin7501]

Lol 😂

[@Rickasaurus]

This is the part that is described by Dr. Schultz to Django

[@FREIKORPS1920]

Wer meines Speeres Spitze fürchtet durchschreite das Feuer nie!

[@armandssurins3364]

4:50 -> 4:53 ; 3:00

[@Altonahh10]

This is an emotional part, but Mehta lacks every aspect of it. Instead of just letting the music flow, he interrupts and treats the orchestra as if it was unable to just feel what's there. And the tempo - unfortunately it's a trend among conductors nowadays to celebrate themselves instead of the music. And Mehta has become an expert in that. Compare to Karajans later period :-)

[@gelse13]

great piece but way too slow in my opinion. all the thrill and tension gone...

[@Dan474834]

If anything it is much more powerful like this. This version has more gravitas than any other.

[@jgesselberty]

Kind of a cheesy production.

[@helios7034]

You probably like western or such bs
