Wagner Tannhauser Overture Karajan

[histman]

The first time I heard Wagner's Tannhauser Overture I am not ashamed to say that, as a man, I almost cried. Never have I heard anything so beautiful in all my life. Richard Wagner was a musical genius!

My dad used to play this to us as a child still gives me goosebumps today 50 plus yrs later just amazing ❤

The best sound ever ever made... my dad showed me this and I will never forget that moment. This is so my dad, the best man in my life.

IMHO this is the perfect piece to introduce classical music to someone who doesn't know it. One beautiful theme is developed from single instruments to full orchestra over a rhythmic background that anyone can appreciate. Genius!

my father was in Russia for 4 years German POW ....Wagner was his favorite, help kept alive there by symphonic music, after he came home listening a lot and I too, thanks to him for knowing and getting to know him. Now, I am 77 - it keeps me alive .... music is one of God's greatest gifts to mankind ....

mein vater war 4 jahre lang in russischer Kriegsgefangenschaft - und das war sein lieblingsmusiker, er wurde von seriöser musik am leben gehalten, nachdem er nach hause kam, hörte er mir viel zu und dankte ihm dafür, dass er ihn gekannt und kennengelernt hatte. Jetzt hält es mich am Leben .... Musik ist eines der größten Geschenke Gottes an die Menschheit ....

thank you for all your sympathy, when it comes to music we are brothers, a family who feel and feel the same. Music helps us remember, we see the happy faces of our parents in front of us, and this is eternal, music is always with us in our ears, and thanks to modern technology, it is also in our pockets, in our cellular phones... or it has become a concert hall in our apartment.... We can there be a greater gift than this from life, ? We thank our fate that we were able to deserve this.... God, I wish our parents could also have been able to deserve

Fantastic music, wonderful Orchestra and brilliant conductor.

[callandick]

Not just the performance, the camera angle at 2:58 of six trombones in unison thundering out the main theme is incredible.

[Christin]

Did anybody notice that Karajan has no sheet music in front of him, that he directs the orchester with the notes in his mind that's why his eyes are always colosed. Amazing!

[susanryman]

My god I forgot how achingly beautiful this piece of music is. The melody just transfixes my soul.

[NYJudge]

Masterpiece.

AI would never copy this. I swear.

[paolobarbirato]

Sentendo questa musica sublime è come volare unito a tutta l umanità verso la comune metà del paradiso !

[davidepeluso]

Last three minutes aren't even music anymore !
They are something else…
...they are the Transfiguration of Music !
Great, brilliant Wagner !

[marieatinault]

Karajan, A mes yeux, le plus grand des chefs d'orchestre. Une véritable légende. Cette ouverture est sublime.

[barryjackson]

If I had 30 minutes to live and could hear one piece, this would be it.

[manchatripas]

One of the best overtures from the best composer, interpreted from one of the best philharmonic orchestras and conducted by Herbert Von Karajan, the greatest over the greatests …this is perfection ✨✨✨

[julioespitia]

Música tan hermosa verdaderamente.... Sonido para dioses

[otto]

das beste philharmonische Orchester aller Zeiten mit dem besten Dirigenten aller Zeiten

[theniceone]

If he conducted traffic it would be a masterpiece. I love the way Karajan feels the music and every instrument
