J'ai découvert ce passage étant petit enfant, notamment le week-end, le soir, avec les bougies dans la salle, et je le redécouvre, je le reconnais, grâce à youtube, 50 ans après ! Merci à ma maman de m'avoir fait découvrir la beauté, non seulement chez Wagner, mais aussi en général, dans la musique classique. ❤

Many of you refer to wedding tune from the prelude but I think rather the first part is a focus worthy. It's genuinely energetic and motivating.

I don'*t know why, but Wagner's music just makes me feel happiness and euphoria

[thomascollins]

They don't write music like this anymore!!! Wonderful piece!!!😊

[MuzikaII]

In this Prelude Wagner makes wide and brilliant use of dynamic contrasts to set the scene for the wedding of the hero and heroine.
Simply wonderful!

Found out about Wagner when Kansas used the first part of this song to open for their 1980 tour. What an awesome catch!

Oh the old n' gold Sinbad movie... Thank you sir, was looking for this for about an eternity!

[Mahlerweber]

Very nice. Brings back memories for me of when I was a kid. My aunt bought me long-play of Arthur Fiedler's favorite orchestral opera music -- non-vocal.

Tears comes into my eyes. The tears of the enormous joy... The Great Wagner is...

This piece always reminds me of crazy King Ludwig II. of Bavaria, who's had this one castle Linderhof. There he got an artificial cave built especially for him, called the venus cave. He was a very lonesome and weird person living in his own Wagner opera- phantasy world. He used to hang there all by himself, paddling in a boat in his cave and listening to Wagner's Lohengrin and Tannhäuser operas. He died in mysterious circumstances, drowned in the Lake Starnberg.

How many Dads have walked their daughter down the isle to this music and how many weddings would be without the tears of joy if Wagner had not composed this music?

[windstorm]

Exciting stuff!! All hail Richard Wagner--World's greatest composer!!

[notaire]

Extraordinarily beautiful and exciting. Just listen without any prejudice!

[pippilangstom]

What a great post. It is so refreshing when people start thinking for themselves, instead of regurgitating all the tripe put out there designed to fill out empty heads.
I salute you Madam

oh so THIS is the song from "Help" by the beatles!! also in Jungle Cruise! i love this song, had the us soundtrack for help with the incidental music. played this hundreds of times along with the entire album. so i guess i became a wagner fan without knowing it.

[ascenbach]

Whatever your opinion of Wagner as a person and whatever you think about his non-musical opinions (and I do not have a very high esteem for either, to say the least) and whatever uses or misuses of his music were made after his, his music needs to be heard on its own incomparable merits. This is one of the most thrilling pieces ever written and we have also been given the bonus of the Wedding March and Chorus by the uploader. Thank you.

Was great hearing this in The Beatles - Help! film.

Spotted this in Jungle Cruise! Much better choice than the usual Ride of the Valkyrie

A friend of mine (at the last minute) had the Imperial March from Star Wars played when his fiancee walked down the aisle. It elicited a few giggles, but in retrospect, it was one of the most prescient gestures I've ever known.
