My god, you can SOO MUCH see Mariss Jansons' mentorship when watching this "young" Andris Nelsons... Amazing!

[tomc]

I'll never get tired of listening to this rendition.

[rg]

They should play this music over the live images of the first human landing on Mars.

[manuelmarinot.]

Fantastic rendition. I like this slower tempo much much better, more majestic.

[Sonnenschein]

Très puissant, c'est Wagner dans toute sa splendeur! J'apprécie.

[Chiollodario]

Hypnotic, epic, amazing, clear,  
touching and Berliner sound! 

[betaomega]

Do you know how hard it is to play that loud in that register for the trumpets? Fantastic!

[jduff]

Not having seen the entire piece, it's a different take on the ending - I call it "dreamy" but the tempo works just fine. Much better than say, a certain conductor who tries to finish the entire overture in 14 minutes (Thielmann?).

[maparepeks]

Yeah! This is... My life is completed! Tears and joy at the same time... Done!

[jordipanadesribera]

Stunning rendition. Thanks for sharing.

[farist]

I attended this concert live in Berlin. What a performance. Andris Nelsons is so inspiring. A fantastic work and great interpretation.

[mrssimba]

short for such a Beautiful Wagner's Masterpiece.

[JimTLonW]

Worth it just to watch the conductor's antics!

0:08, THE SPECIAL JUMP that you do when you listen to Wagner!

[vitormusico]

A melhor Orquestra Filarmônica do Mundo. Berlim.

[KlausGehrmann]

very slow, but majestic, or should I say ponderous, just what I imagine Wagner was like...

[cadenlawson]

Tämä on erittäin kaunis esitys tästä kappaleesta, Bravo!!

[matheresairinco]

Feel The Power of the Venerable Berliner Philharmoniker!

[andrewroberts]

It is absolutely extraordinary that in the year of our Lord 2013 an orchestra in a European capital city was almost entirely populated by men

[TFreckle]

Wonderful! I am most thoroughly convinced that this is not the way this should be played. But this interpretation is so decisive, so well thought-out! I find it more a delightful provocation that I find it "Bad". Simply amazing!
