How very very beautiful. Makes me meditate on Life and death, Beauty. How fortunate we are to be alive and able to listen to the recreation of the musical imagination of Wagner. Perhaps for Eternity, a joy forever.

Sir Celibidace wow ein Meister, dirigierte alles auswendig und befreite sich und die Musiker vom Notentext und wies weit darüber hinaus. Ein begnadeter Musiker und Musikant. Und ein Weltbürger im besten Sinne.

Celibidache is in essence a symphony conductor. Wagner is in essence a great composer of operas of a symphonic nature. Overtures and orchestral pieces are conducted by Celibidache as great symphonic pieces. The musical structure and musical writing are not only preserved by Celi but recovered, amplified, taken to the level of Paradise.

Performance live magnifique et détaillée de ce chef-d'œuvre apparemment idyllique et essentiellement lyrique avec des tons soyeux de toutes les cordes et des tons doux de tous les instruments à vent. Le maestro expérimenté dirige l'excellent orchestre à un tempo relativement lent avec une dynamique parfaitement contrôlée. Vraiment adorable!

[michelefrancolino]

Pagina meravigliosa, diretta da un indimenticabile, straordinario direttore. In ogni frase si "respira" una continua, palpabile attesa...semplicemente stupendo

[williamstephens]

I love the slower tempos of this performance.

[antonycooke]

One of the truly few good recordings of the timeless piece. But "good" isn't the word for this account of Wagner's little masterpiece. Better would be "astonishing."

[TomboVersta]

Cuando trasciendes el sentido de belleza, te da igual que parezca lento o rápido, te da igual que sea camerístico o sinfónico. Deja de tener sentido. Lo único de lo que estás seguro es que es una vivencia única e intransferible. Y ese es el misterio último de la música.

[notaire]

Wunderschöne und detaillierte live Aufführung dieses scheinbar idyllischen und wesentlich lyrischen Meisterwerks mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher und milden Töne aller Bläser. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im relativ langsamen Tempo mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt bezaubernd!

Wagner's Christmas gift to his wife Cosima in 1870 after he had written it in secret, and had a small orchestra playing early Christmas morning.

The mixed scale syntactically suspend because vein roughly laugh since a lopsided alley. hanging, unwieldy hole

[benschroth]

This is a chamber work. I hate it played by a whole orchestra.

[RolandOrre]

Wagner is the most boring composer I know, he couldnt' create music like e.g- Kraftwerk, The Beatles, Abba, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Chopin and many many others.
The key to music is to make it sound interesting.
