No human words are enough to comment on this: here there is no more difference between sound and light, thanks also to the transcendental execution. Thank God for this sublime gift.
Hello thank you so much for posting this. I’m in the process of developing a couples workshop and examining the works of mini psychotherapist over a 40 year period, and I had the pleasure of meeting Robert Johnson at his home in Barrego Springs California back in the early 2000s.I feel that you have done a very good job of extracting the key points and useful information from this work. Thank you again for your contribution and offering.
Hello! Thank you so much for your kind and very encouraging comment! I am happy to hear that you had the chance to meet the author himself, as I'm sure he must have been a most perceptive and enlightened soul. It is a great pleasure to hear that you found my contribution informative, and I sincerely wish you the very best with your couples workshop! Thank you again for your uplifting comment :)
@@louishillenbrand1735 what I can tell you is that he played the harpsichord 😊
Thank you...l know what he meant now. .. ' the double ' ......
Such a gift that we can listen to what our brothers and sisters listen in completely different place. Thank you Mr. Wagner.
07:28 Seneca was Roman, not Greek.
Thank you for your comment! To explain myself, I mentioned in the video that Artaud’s Greek origins allowed him to connect with ancient theatre as a whole. Perhaps I should have specified ancient Greco-Roman theatre, but I suppose that in my mind, in his European context, “ancient”encompassed both the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. My apologies if that was not clear
@@louishillenbrand1735 Yes, I think it would be really help if you made that clear. After all there is a very considerable difference between, say, Sophocles and Seneca.
Consumate and eternal. We may compose as well, but never better.
Cette musique est un enchantement. Depuis plus de soixante ans, elle me fait toujours autant d'effet. Comme dirait mon beau frère, où est-ce qu'il allait chercher tout ça, Wagner? Quand j'ai le cafard, je me repasse un peu de Parsifal et ça va tout de suite mieux. Si seulement j'avais pu le voir sur place, à Bayreuth! ça doit être une expérience extraordinaire.
Rread this poem in the book and was very moved by it. Good job.
hmmm
Sublime,majestuosa opera,Wagner un Dios de la música,!!!!!!
Listened to this for the first time recently..it caught me in a bewildered emotional state, recovering from cancer surgery: and it reduced me to tears. What other piece of music could do that?
Excellent job 🎉Waiting for your book.
Thank you very much :)
💪🏻⚡⚡🌲
Seraphic, sublime and what a rarefied piece of music that speaks directly to our inmost beings...
It’s when I hear poems like this that make me wish I was a theistic Satanist, as opposed to an atheistic one, as I can imagine how emotional I’d probably get while listening to this if I actually thought of Satan as a real person, instead of just a representation of my rebellion against unjust authorities
Thank you for your interesting comment! I've been thinking about making a video on Anton LaVey's, "Satanic Bible" for some time, actually. In it, he describes how, although his branch of Satanism is atheistic in nature, the ritual of the black mass is still meant to be a cathartic psycho-drama in which the participant can purge themselves of build-ups of unaddressed emotions. So it seems that even for atheistic Satanists, there is a chance for this emotional catharsis that you saw in the poem. Thank you again for watching and for commenting!
@@louishillenbrand1735 oh, I’m a levayen Satanist but I haven’t read any of the books that Anton has written because I just haven’t had the time so if you make a video about any of his books, that would be awesome
One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard!
Wagner does Bruckner
Bruckner is booooorrrriinnng!

eine unfassbare schöne Aufnahme. Es ist einfach Musik "nicht von dieser Welt", so würde ich sie beschreiben.
Being artistically radical and politically conservative or even reactionary is a strangely common combinations among the artistically brilliant.
You’re such a good actor! Great video. I just wrote to you on interpals, and was sorry to see you’ve deleted your account! About your video: the first time I see such a thing :) You really must love opera to record such a video)))

Vorgestern habe ich Parsifal in Bayreuth gesehen . Über die Inszenierung lässt sich vortrefflich streiten . Über die Qualität der musikalische Ausführung nicht . Es war einfach nur schön .
Currently reading his three autobiographies. Not sure how animal rights feature as he spends a lot of time blasting away at various birds, rhinos, lions etc then sticking their heads on the wall of his ancestral house.
Félicitations Louis ! C'était vraiment bien fait!
Merci beaucoup, Laroche ! C'est très apprécié de ta part :)
Can tell you’re a cool cat. This is by far the best poem i have personally ever come across. I’m not new to poetry but new to it in terms of this kind of scope and depth. i also appreciate the lack of rhyme more as i feel that dilutes poems more often than not. I actually listened to “A Poetry Channel” read another poem by Rimbaud called Evening Prayer and find it makes me tear up and cry upon every listen. it’s only a short poem so i found it’s captivation despite that very powerful. I do prefer longer poems though based on this one. i think with Rimbaud he speaks from my own heart, a lot of other acclaimed poetry seems to be from an age i’m yet to reach, i don’t relate too much to the end of life ponderings many poets resort to. But with Rimbaud it’s entirely different, his depiction of youth, not fitting in, the maddening ways of the world. His interpretation of the true reality of being. it’s just… epic. if you know of similar poets, or similar works, or even your own channel inspirations and poems you like that’d be great to see shared. I have put the plan in motion to eventually get round to watching all your vids. Thank you and hope you are well!
Interesting how you mentioned Schopenhauer, very well made observation, can definitely see essences of that train of thought within the perilous nature Rimbaud found himself in. on that note, you may recognise my chosen RUclips display picture. I liked many philosophers growing up, but found that none offered a good enough argument to the main arguments Schopenhauer used to make. At the least, it works as a good enough bench mark to try find truer truth in the world. I think there is good in the world, but a lot of the time the good we see is largely just the unconscious desire to escape the inherent evil that exists within each and every one of us. Sort of on a sub conscious/unconscious self preserving level. People like Schopenhaur, Nietzsche, Rimbaud looked past that self preserving level and saw it for what it is. There is a depth for all of us to reach and understand if only we are able to take our self put shackles off of ourself.
Thank you very much for your uplifting comments, my friend! I can also tell that you are one who appreciates true poetry, and has the right sensitivity and receptivity for it. As for recommendations of similar artists, this is actually quite a difficult task. As you may know, Rimbaud was a truly unique individual whose genius is impossible to replicate. I agree with you that there is this eternal youth and energy about him, especially since we know only little about what happened to him after he went to live in the Orient. When it comes to the aesthetics that is associated with Rimbaud as a symbolist poet, I’d recommend some other authors from that movement, especially Charles Baudelaire, or even some authors from the British Romantic period like William Blake, who was also a very free spirit in his own time. Otherwise, in the modernist era, I’d go for Antonin Artaud for that side of Rimbaud that is bent on going through hell, boiling in it, and emerging from it transformed. Or, a little more recently and closer to home perhaps, I’d say the Beat Generation authors like Jack Kerouac would be a good venture, especially his, “On the Road,” which, at its heart, also features this tormented quest for a greater ideal that can only be grasped by living to the fullest. And in the German tradition, I'd try Nietzsche's, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," and Hermann Hesse's, "Siddhartha," "Steppenwolf," and, "Narcissus and Goldmund" for truly moving stories pitting individuals against the great all, and what it has to offer both in terms of torment and bliss, and overall living everything fully. Again, it was a true pleasure to read your comments, my friend, and should want to talk about poetry, art, philosophy, and life in general, you can look me up on Facebook for a chat. And if you live close to Québec in Canada or happen to travel near here, then I’d gladly buy you a glass of wine if you’re into that. Take good care of yourself, and keep on being receptive to poetry, both in books, and in your life in general! Louis
Hey super Louis! Cétait vraiment intéressant! Tu as fait un travaille fou!
Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire ! Venant de toi, c'est très apprécié, cher ami.
Wonderful work thanks Louis 🎉
Thank you very much for your supportive comment! It means a lot :)
Félicitations! Impressionnant!
Merci beaucoup ! Venant de toi, c'est très apprécié.
I haven't read a lot of poetry, but I feel like even though everything he writes sounds quite nice and beautiful, the words often are meaningless and serve the only purpose to impress the reader, not to make him understand what is written. Every poem of course has it's own idea and goal, but it never goes further than that. I don't need a 2 page poem to tell me something you could say right away and in easier terms. Baudelaire creates beauty in emptiness and in confusion, or maybe my mind isn't developped enough to understand his art completely.
Thank you for your comment! Your impression is understandable, but I would personally say that it is always easier to appreciate an author's contribution once you have gained a decent grasp of the era in which they lived. If we take the time to look at the context in which Baudelaire wrote, we can appreciate that his poetry attempts to create a gothic, bittersweet, and tortured mood that stands as a response to the bourgeois values of his time. That is why his writings were quite revolutionary from that historical perspective. I hope you can find poetry that touches your soul and inspires you!
Very nice, but there were no fractals in the 1960's
read once .that when this is performed live .the audience stay silent for minute's after the finale..taking it all in...
Sam Wagner prosił, żeby po Parsifalu milczeć, bo to jest misterium sceniczne. Pozdrawiam.
If it's a great performance that's true. At a bad Parsifal, those that are still left make a B-line for the exits. I always say there is nothing greater than a great Parsifal, and nothing worse than a bad one. This is sublime.
Absolutamente sublime, dan ganas de llorar
Watching this before I read Oshimi Shuzo’s Flowers of evil 🥀
I hope the video can make you enjoy the manga even more :)
Unique and hauntingly beautiful!
Thanks for undertaking this. A good introduction to Part I. You mention Faust II briefly, and it would not have been possible to do it justice within the constraints of a short video. However, much of the depth and complexity of the work can be understood only by getting to grips with Part II.
Thank you very much for your enlightening and constructive comment. It is true that Faust is only a complete story with the symbolism of Part II. After all, we must admit that the ending of Part I is rather abrupt, and finds its resolution with the atonement taking place in Part II. For that reason, I enjoyed Arrigo Boito's treatment of the complete story in his opera "Mefistofele."
@@louishillenbrand1735 Thank you for your reply. Mefistofele is quite new to me. If you are interested in Goethe's life, you may want to tackle the 3-vol biography by Nicholas Boyle. First-rate.
Wonderful , just subscribed for this excellent video
Thank you very much for your encouraging comment and for your subscription!
Bravo 👏
Wagner= the true beginning of the fusion of Sound+Vision; all film scorers come from Wagner
Agreed. There'd be no "movie music" w/o his musical innovations. Parsifal is his penultimate creation. Von K massages it to the limit.
