Tennstedt was one of a kind, a wonderful conductor who always brought out the best from the orchestra. Maestros of his caliber are very few and far between. I'm glad that many of his performances have been preserved for us to relish all these years after his passing.
I listen to this perfectly conducted and played Rienzi's Ouverture through the years again and again. And I always get goose pimples from it. And I love how sensitive and gentle Klaus Tennstedt conduct it!! Thank you!! And thank to the entire LPO for translating Tennstedt's guiding moves into a celestial sound which makes you feel how subtle and romantic could be Wagner .
@@robp4297 I've heard it many times. It's excellent, well articulated and interpreted, typical of Reiner & the CSO. However, for me, it doesn't have the same primal energy and "oomph" of this performance. To each their own.
Absolutely wonderful and definitive interpretation of this overture of Rienzi. The conduct of Klaus Tennstedt is superb and the orchestra is extraordinary.
What better person than Herr Tennstedt as a German to so understand Wagner's music snd bring out his wonderful understanding of this Great Masters music and also that he really by adding his complete understanding of Wagner's music . The LPO are musicians extraordinaire ! Wagner's music is Music and had nothing to do with his political outlook ! Recognize his music as GREAT Music. Also let us not forget the loss of Herr Tennstedt while he had come into his prime !!!!!
To hold such a magisterial tempo without the slightest hint of dragging is conducting of the highest order! As well as Wagner, Tennstedt's Mahler performances are among the best ever recorded - give them a try.
Tennstedts Mahler 1 with Chicago SO is the absolute best piece of all times. It is unbelievable, outstanding and wonderful. Although he was a Violinist, he really pulls the best out of the Brass. I will never know why he is the most underestimated conductor in Germany until today!
Oh yes, me too! This work and this performance of it lifts my spirits in a way few other pieces do.., Wonderful Tennstedt and wonderful playing by the orchestra. I do so love Wagner, Thanks so much, You Tube for posting this.
Simply the best rendition I have ever heard, the arrangement, the timing, the subtly in volume, the horn section, like the gods themselves performed. A rare treat for the senses.
It's definitely a smoother, restrained performance, and very enjoyable. What makes music fascinating is the interpretation. This would be almost the polar opposite of Solti, but I enjoy both styles, and reckon Dick Wagner would as well, as he had an open mind.
@@nickosullivan6264 You certainly got an adverse reaction (below) and indeed must have expected it, I imagine, seeing you didn't attempt to justify your preposterous proposition with any rational argument. Just trolling? Or do you have something to say?
This performance could be the one of the best live Wagner "Overture Rienzi I'm so proud Tokyo has such a magnificent classical concert hall !! I miss so much I've been lived in London since late 80's but there is no symphonic concert hall in London I'm afraid I wonder why & how come ...... !!!?
London had an acoustically brilliant concert venue in the Queen's Hall in Portland Place almost adjacent to the BBC's Broadcasting House. Unfortunately it was bombed to smithereens by the Luftwaffe in 1941. I refrain from further comment.
I was listening to this sublime interpretation while on my exercise bike. I was definitely pedalling faster near the end. Tennstedt: wonderful, how does he do it
Maestro Tennstedt nails it!!! Nuance, detail, and ambiance! It's all there! Even Richard Wagner (who hated his own opera for being too conventional and for appealing to a conventional public) would have LOVED IT!!! Bravo Maestro Klaus and bravo to LPO!
Tremendous memories of working with a legendary musician. Klaus died over 20 years ago and I still miss working with him. Great ping pong player, as well! The flow that he created was stirring.
I have enjoyed Tennstedt's radio concert recordings with The Minnesota Orchestra for many years. The comments I've read from you and many other musicians who played under his direction are always enthusiastic in their praise of this unique and marvelous conductor.
RIENZI es una de las oberturas más deslumbrantes de Richard Wagner. Desde la primera vez que la escuché me ha impresionado y nunca dejo de disfrutarla.
I have been a confirmed lover of Wagner's beautiful music for a long time. Has any one else of my age group (67) ever noticed at the end of Reinzi that there is a small segment of the music that sounds like Mighty Mouse's " Here I Come to Save the Day"
This Wagner performance in Tokyo was a great moment- under Tennstedts baton the LPO was one of the best orchestras in the world-and then Welser-Möst, Masur and Jurowski ruined it!!! So much thanks for posting this unique rendition!
Bè,si capisce perchè l'opera fu un trionfo alla prima del 1842....L'ouverture basta da sola e rende già prova della maestria del giovanissimo Wagner. Bellissma questa esecuzione di Tennstedt e della LP
Somewhere, sometime, a young Austrian teenager heard this brilliant piece of music, and decided to totally dedicate and sacrifice his life to elevate the German people to heights never before seen, and to fight against a global tyranny. It may not seem like it now, but I believe his dreams will come to be realized.
Una sinfonia che potrebbe essere scambiata per una semplice marcetta viene "aperta" dalle sapienti mani di questo genio del podio, da questo uomo che ha saputo cogliere le profondità mahleriane riflettendole magicamente su questa partitura wagneriana.
My God, what a fantastic orchestra….the sound is incredible! Absolutely wonderful sound and intonation….I’m not a fan of Wagner’s music, but I’d listen to the London Philharmonic play show tunes. They were (and are) at such a high level, they didn’t need a conductor!
haha I love the way he marks the end of the song. what an amazing live performance, though sometimes i have to stand the awful camera angle thru the video.
Wenn mich einer fragen würde, warum ich Wagners Musik seit ich 14 bin liebe, dann würde ich ihn fragen ob er jemals in seinem Leben einfach zugehört hat. Rienzi als Einstieg in die Wagnerwelt ist perfekt zum Zuhören.
Maestro Tennsted ; unvergleichlich, ohnegleichen, ungehört, unübertroffen !!
Klaus Tennstedt was one of the greatest conductors who ever lived!
A child of Four can do just as well!
@@markmartin5248 And yet I haven't seen a child of Four conducting the greatest orchestras of Europe and the world.....🙄
@markmartin5248 I bet you're a lot of fun to hang out with at intermission or go for a nightcap.
Tennstedt was one of a kind, a wonderful conductor who always brought out the best from the orchestra. Maestros of his caliber are very few and far between. I'm glad that many of his performances have been preserved for us to relish all these years after his passing.
I have forgotten how simply awesome this overture was. A masterpiece!
My orchestra is playing this right now...it is even more amazing being in the music!
🥰😘💪
Your just bad. too many negative influences maybe.
I listen to this perfectly conducted and played Rienzi's Ouverture through the years again and again. And I always get goose pimples from it. And I love how sensitive and gentle Klaus Tennstedt conduct it!! Thank you!! And thank to the entire LPO for translating Tennstedt's guiding moves into a celestial sound which makes you feel how subtle and romantic could be Wagner .
Me, too. I've heard a great many recordings of this overture over the years, but none that matches this one. It is simply the best.
@@leestamm3187 Try Reiner and the Chicago SO live in 1957. In a totally different class.
@@robp4297 I've heard it many times. It's excellent, well articulated and interpreted, typical of Reiner & the CSO. However, for me, it doesn't have the same primal energy and "oomph" of this performance. To each their own.
Interesting isn't it. I find exactly the opposite and the playing of the Chicago Symphony is to die for.
Richard Wagner + Klaus Tennstedt + London Philharmonic Orchestra = TOTAL BRILLIANCE! Thank you very much for posting this video
It doesn't get any better than this. This is the best.
My favorite overture. Magnificently performed. No one writes for brass like Wagner.
Prokofiev maybe 🙂

Wagner es y será lo mas
Absolutely wonderful and definitive interpretation of this overture of
Rienzi. The conduct of Klaus Tennstedt is superb and the orchestra is extraordinary.
Wow! Great Wagner from one of the most magnificent maestros of the 20th century.
In search for better recordings I always find myself coming back to this one.
Me too.
The definitive version of this little masterpiece.
Keep coming back to this for my 'fix'.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this piece is. THANK YOU WAGNER!
It is magnific
How about a bravo to the musicians and their wonderful musicianship and passion for playing - a heartfelt thank you.
Absolutely; Bravo!
At 1.40, you begin to realize the incredible genius and potential of this young composer.

@@janpeters3893 I agree - his performance of the 8th (with the London Philharmonic) in the same DVD set is also utterly majestic.
Wagner's music has the power and beauty to reach my soul so deep. It s so strong that makes me cry
Oh yes, me too! This work and this performance of it lifts my spirits in a way few other pieces do.., Wonderful Tennstedt and wonderful playing by the orchestra. I do so love Wagner, Thanks so much, You Tube for posting this.
Yes brings me in tears too
Non Beautyful
Yes, I agree
Typical Wagner - all blast and militaristic trumpeting, no wonder Hitler loved him!
WAGNER, grandioso, magnífica interpretación.
Wagner would of been extremely proud of Tenstedt's interpretation of this wonderful piece....
You must be a poor moron
NEVER have I heard a finer performance of Wagner than Tennstedt and the LPO!!!
good for you
Tennstedt would have flunked every conducting class in the world today. Which is why he was a truly great conductor.
I thank everyone who brought Tennstedt to You Tube.
Simply the best rendition I have ever heard, the arrangement, the timing, the subtly in volume, the horn section, like the gods themselves performed. A rare treat for the senses.
True, better than v.Karajan.
Doesn't get any better. It's AMAZING.
It's definitely a smoother, restrained performance, and very enjoyable. What makes music fascinating is the interpretation. This would be almost the polar opposite of Solti, but I enjoy both styles, and reckon Dick Wagner would as well, as he had an open mind.
@ But not better than Lovro von Matacic!
So true. I heard things in this performance that I have never heard before. Tennstedt is magnificent.
Incredible performance! Great conductor and great orchestra! Thanks a lot!
Such lovely music. I gotta turn this on and force my lovely girl to dance with me.
Fantastic. Tennstedt was a master of tempo. It can't get any better than this.
Fabulous! Tennstedt almost convinced me that this absolute drivel is a good piece - which it isn't.
@@nickosullivan6264 Shut the fuck up, you absolute mongoloid of a human being.

this is just so right!! exciting, dynamic, beautiful! Tennstedt was wonderful!
Thank god for the young Wagner - and for the old Tennstedt!
And for the band.
@@peterfeltham5612 its not a band :v
Its an orchestra!! a much grander ensemble of musicians
ABSOLUTELY DANKE SCHOEN
The Sublime March! Tennstedt's Finest Video.
Shivers down the spine and up again,majestic ,Conductor, Orchestra ,recording all first class thank you to those responsible

Michael,they have had over 70yrs to build a new one.Germany has built an entire country from scratch in less time.
Truly legendary and mind blowing
Tenntedt / Wagner !! superb.
HE KNEW HOW TO MAKE AN ORCHESTRA SING ! EXTREMELY ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE BY A REAL MASTER : THANK YOU GINO
I was listening to this sublime interpretation while on my exercise bike. I was definitely pedalling faster near the end. Tennstedt: wonderful, how does he do it
La direction de Klaus Tennstedt est toujours merveilleuse quand il dirige un orchestre jouant Wagner. Il manque à la musique.
Maestro Tennstedt nails it!!! Nuance, detail, and ambiance! It's all there! Even Richard Wagner (who hated his own opera for being too conventional and for appealing to a conventional public) would have LOVED IT!!! Bravo Maestro Klaus and bravo to LPO!
Impresionante.....sin palabras, se me saltan las lagrimas
Reverencias al Maestro y mil gracias por compartir esta obra maestra

His absolute control of tempo is actually unreal. I've heard so many conductors rush this piece, especially in the first half
All I can say is WOOWWWW!! He's nailed it with the big horns!!
Bravo! Excellent performance!
Klaus Tennstedt simply the best wagnerian
Ein Meisterwerk.
Best!!! Conductor and orchestra are amazing!!
Very powerful moving music makes me cry love it too bits
RIENZI es una de las oberturas más deslumbrantes de Richard Wagner. Desde la primera vez que la escuché me ha impresionado y nunca dejo de disfrutarla.
Wonderful playing and the brass is sensational.
1:40 my soul is always moved by this beautiful melody.
Esecuzione a dir poco magistrale. Tra le migliori in assoluto, parlando della Overture del Rienzi. Grazie.
ci sei pisana
Wagner es majestuoso, solemne, grandioso, sublime
Klaus Tennstedt in Bestform !! 1 : 38 für immer und ewig Richard !!
Tennstedt è straordinario. Eccelsa direzione.
Je ne m'en lasse pas : excellent merci !

テンシュテットの音楽にはクレンペラーやベームと共通する揺るぎのない土台から発するエネルギーを感じる、抱きしめたくなる感動がそこにあるのだ。
cette ouverture je ne l'écoutais jamais ,maintenant je l'écoute très souvent !.. c'est clair ,je vieillis..
one of the best versions ive heard awsome on headphones,thanks for this.wow
Bè,si capisce perchè l'opera fu un trionfo alla prima del 1842....L'ouverture basta da sola e rende già prova della maestria del giovanissimo Wagner.
Bellissma questa esecuzione di Tennstedt e della LP
Student Conductors should listen to this performance to see how this music should be played.
The master with a masterpiece .
My first introduction to Wagner was this. I had to hear more...and more.
Un oasis para el alma y los oídos, antídoto contra la mediocridad, Gracias Wagner y a la Orquesta!
Truly Fantastic a pleasure to listen this is brilliant music.
I love how Tennstedt just lives the life at 11:23
Me, too.
Pensive and noble... Sometimes lighthearted. Wow!
WAGNER . MARAVILLOSO LO TRANSPORTA A TRAVES DE LA MUSICA GENIAL Y SOLEMNE.-
TENNSTEDT IS BEST NOT ONLY IN MAHLER BUT ALSO IN WAGNER... SUPERB PERFORMANCE !!
His tempo is out of this world
Most refreshingly accurate and beautiful!
Expectacular me encanta esta versión.
Wagner & Tennstedt equals perfection.
Klaus Tennstedt is the best
The brass section is stupendous in this recording, the very best Rienzi I've ever heard. Klaus on top form!

Tennstedt is a fiery spirit. I love it.
fantastic brass section!
I agree. Laurie Evans on principal trumpet outstanding as usual.
Disco King! - great performance great conducting.
Beautifully done!
I love the main theme. I goes so deep yet is so uplifting... These are the strongest feats of Wagner to me.
Impresionante, hermosa obertura.... Wagner... siempre Wagner, único !
what a great rhythmic rousing rendition of the overture to opera number three his first comic opera until Die Meistersinger
My God, what a fantastic orchestra….the sound is incredible! Absolutely wonderful sound and intonation….I’m not a fan of Wagner’s music, but I’d listen to the London Philharmonic play show tunes. They were (and are) at such a high level, they didn’t need a conductor!
