Matthias Holle, a great Gurnemanz and Sarastro. I love to hear a top-notch singer as the Town Crier. Both Bernd Weikl and Hermann Prey had sung it in years past.

Siegfried Jerusalem is fantastic!

At 1:40:38. a brief allusion to the adagio of Brahms's 3rd piano sonata--a very rare compliment. Brahms was, in turn, very fond of Meistersinger. Today's listeners have no trouble liking both masters.

Agreed. He proves once and for all that the music of Beckmesser deserves as fine a voice and as insightful a mind as the other major Wagnerian roles. I like the ending of his story in Act 3; he is, after all, not a really bad person, fussy and pedantic, perhaps, and badly in need of--you know what. But he and Sachs have a long-standing friendship ("Immer bei Sachs") which it would be a shame to see end. "The longest continual smile in the German language" must end with smiles for everyone.

@@luigigiovanelli8929 , for me Hermann Prey's is one of the most beautiful baritone voices I have ever heard. And I think he's a magnificent actor, vocal and scenic. In respect Beckmesser, I've always thought that Beckmesser is usually and wrongly treated as a caricature. But for me Beckmesser is a respectable member of the Meistesinger, who can sing well but in an quite accademic way. And so the contrast between the accademic old (Beckmesser), the unordered new (Walther) and the tradition joined with the new art (Sachs), is better explained than when Beckmesser is only a ridoculous character. But of course it's only an opinión 🙂

This is the best I think. No matter when I hear and imagine of this Meistersinger's finale, always I've used to be touched by so deep impression and ecstasy. So many thanks for your endeavor and to Wagner as well. Be happy on ~

2. Akt 1:24:00

Midsummer's day , June 21st , London. I sit on a deserted common and listen , having just come out of a relationship with a woman I discovered was lying to me , about the most noble emotion of all , namely , love. Feeling quite numb til I started to listen to this and the absolute beauty , rapture , and joy of the overture to act one engulfs me and lifts me up into unchartered realms of joy , immortality and transcendence. All is more than well with the world and the supremely beautiful things in it. Nobody is capable , or ever will be , of doing it like Wagner does. The transition from the overture into the chorus in the church is simply divine beyond description. And cradles one amidst illusionary chaos. Every single note is from his soul. From the unspeakable depths of his soul. I sometimes think just how King Ludwig must've felt when he first came across Wagner and his soul shattering music. But that's another story

I wish I could understand German. Auto translation helps but translating word-by-word is very annoying. I wonder if AI can do a better job, like line-by-line translation. Anyway, I am greatly enjoying this Meistersinger. I should remember the "Bayreuther Festspiele, 1984" and look for others, too. Thanks.

1:06:00-1:07:52

Wie man sehen kann, gab es 1984 noch vernünftige Inszenierungen (sogar in Bayreuth) im Gegensatz zu heute, wo man nur noch plumpe, primitive, verkrüppelte Interpretationen vorgesetzt bekommt (auch in Bayreuth). Vernünftiges Bühnenbild, vernünftige Kostüme, keine werkfremden Elemente auf der Bühne und nicht anachronistisch, wovon man heute nur träumen kann.

Ich finde, man hat Wolfgang Wagner in vielerlei Hinsicht Unrecht getan. Seine Inszenierungen hat man als altmodisch und verstaubt abgetan, was sie, soweit ich sie kenne, keinesfalls sind. Er hat jedenfalls nie die Musik vergewaltigt und irgendwas hineininterpretiert was nie da gewesen ist. Als Intendant war er ebenfalls unerreicht. Der erfolgreichste aller Intendanten überhaupt und er war immer offen für Neues. Das Abgedroschenste überhaupt ist Wagner mit Naziuniformen. Das war vielleicht einmal in den sechziger Jahren revolutionär, heute ist es nur noch abgedroschen. Ich finde, die Regisseure sollten mehr auf die Musik vertrauen, da ist alles drin.
