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.
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 .
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.
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!
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.
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 !!!!!
Absolutely wonderful and definitive interpretation of this overture of Rienzi. The conduct of Klaus Tennstedt is superb and the orchestra is extraordinary.
@@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 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"
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
This is a wonderful performance with Tennstedt's tempi and rubato judged to perfection. New to me is the slowness of 'the turn' at the beginning of the main theme - half speed, but it sounds just right when you get used to it
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!
I was working midnight shift at Refinery. 1980s.....AND THIS CAME ON ...the radio I had placed several labs away.... UNBELIEVABLE EFFECT ON ME. AND it was AMOCO that put it there. I went into a SAMADI. sp?
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.
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.
My favorite overture. Magnificently performed. No one writes for brass like Wagner.
Prokofiev maybe 🙂

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!
Maestro Tennsted ; unvergleichlich, ohnegleichen, ungehört, unübertroffen !!
Wow! Great Wagner from one of the most magnificent maestros of the 20th century.
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.
It doesn't get any better than this. This is the best.
How about a bravo to the musicians and their wonderful musicianship and passion for playing - a heartfelt thank you.
Absolutely; Bravo!
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.
The definitive version of this little masterpiece.
Keep coming back to this for my 'fix'.
Richard Wagner + Klaus Tennstedt + London Philharmonic Orchestra = TOTAL BRILLIANCE! Thank you very much for posting this video

@@janpeters3893 I agree - his performance of the 8th (with the London Philharmonic) in the same DVD set is also utterly majestic.
Words cannot describe how beautiful this piece is. THANK YOU WAGNER!
It is magnific
In search for better recordings I always find myself coming back to this one.
Me too.
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.
At 1.40, you begin to realize the incredible genius and potential of this young composer.

Wagner would of been extremely proud of Tenstedt's interpretation of this wonderful piece....
You must be a poor moron
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.
@@nickosullivan6264 Russian music fan, no wonder why you talked shit about Wagner's :)

I agree. And the pace is just right too! Just saying. :0)
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.
Incredible performance! Great conductor and great orchestra! Thanks a lot!
WAGNER, grandioso, magnífica interpretación.
His absolute control of tempo is actually unreal. I've heard so many conductors rush this piece, especially in the first half
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
this is just so right!! exciting, dynamic, beautiful! Tennstedt was wonderful!
Such lovely music. I gotta turn this on and force my lovely girl to dance with me.
Shivers down the spine and up again,majestic ,Conductor, Orchestra ,recording all first class thank you to those responsible
HE KNEW HOW TO MAKE AN ORCHESTRA SING ! EXTREMELY ENJOYABLE PERFORMANCE BY A REAL MASTER : THANK YOU GINO
Impresionante.....sin palabras, se me saltan las lagrimas
Reverencias al Maestro y mil gracias por compartir esta obra maestra
La direction de Klaus Tennstedt est toujours merveilleuse quand il dirige un orchestre jouant Wagner. Il manque à la musique.
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 ...... !!!?

Michael,they have had over 70yrs to build a new one.Germany has built an entire country from scratch in less time.
The Sublime March! Tennstedt's Finest Video.
Student Conductors should listen to this performance to see how this music should be played.
Klaus Tennstedt simply the best wagnerian

I thank everyone who brought Tennstedt to You Tube.
Very powerful moving music makes me cry love it too bits
1:40 my soul is always moved by this beautiful melody.
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.
Tenntedt / Wagner !! superb.
Wagner es majestuoso, solemne, grandioso, sublime
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。
Klaus Tennstedt in Bestform !! 1 : 38 für immer und ewig Richard !!
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.

All I can say is WOOWWWW!! He's nailed it with the big horns!!
Best!!! Conductor and orchestra are amazing!!
If i only had 12 minutes left to live, this would be what i would want to hear.
Esecuzione a dir poco magistrale. Tra le migliori in assoluto, parlando della Overture del Rienzi. Grazie.
ci sei pisana
listen to this in Bavaria or Austria or Switzerland in the Alps and get the real effect and the inspiration of this most beautiful piece...outstanding
His tempo is out of this world
Wagner & Tennstedt equals perfection.
Klaus Tennstedt is the best
magnifique interprétation ! Mené par un très grand maître !
TENNSTEDT IS BEST NOT ONLY IN MAHLER BUT ALSO IN WAGNER... SUPERB PERFORMANCE !!
I love how Tennstedt just lives the life at 11:23
Me, too.

The master with a masterpiece .
Tennstedt is a fiery spirit. I love it.

Bellissma questa esecuzione di Tennstedt e della LP
one of the best versions ive heard awsome on headphones,thanks for this.wow
Un oasis para el alma y los oídos, antídoto contra la mediocridad, Gracias Wagner y a la Orquesta!
Tennstedt è straordinario. Eccelsa direzione.
cette ouverture je ne l'écoutais jamais ,maintenant je l'écoute très souvent !.. c'est clair ,je vieillis..
Ein Meisterwerk.
My first introduction to Wagner was this. I had to hear more...and more.
Fantastic music thank you for sharing it with us
fantastic brass section!
I agree. Laurie Evans on principal trumpet outstanding as usual.
There BREATHLESS moments!

Bravo! Excellent performance!
Wonderful playing and the brass is sensational.

Most refreshingly accurate and beautiful!
WAGNER . MARAVILLOSO LO TRANSPORTA A TRAVES DE LA MUSICA GENIAL Y SOLEMNE.-
Solo un alemán puede interpretar tan magistralmente a Wagner...
This is a wonderful performance with Tennstedt's tempi and rubato judged to perfection. New to me is the slowness of 'the turn' at the beginning of the main theme - half speed, but it sounds just right when you get used to it
Truly Fantastic a pleasure to listen this is brilliant music.
The brass section is stupendous in this recording, the very best Rienzi I've ever heard. Klaus on top form!
Beautifully done!
Our germanic soul sleeps and will one day rise up to overcome our spiritual enemy.
spoken as an Englishman. God bless wagner.
Utterly sensational. He was ill then, but he could still conduct. A true musician!
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!
Vendo isso eu só posso chegar a uma conclusão, Wagner foi mandado dos céus para a terra
Great performance ever!
This is the best.
Expectacular me encanta esta versión.
I was working midnight shift at Refinery. 1980s.....AND THIS CAME ON ...the radio I had placed several labs away.... UNBELIEVABLE EFFECT ON ME. AND it was AMOCO that put it there. I went into a SAMADI. sp?
Wagner will do that. The Liebesnacht from Tristan is like acid.
As a teenager Adolf Hitler heard Rienzi and thereafter became addicted to Wagner for life. Now i know why!
me gusta esta versión . en mi equipo suena total.
Impresionante, hermosa obertura.... Wagner... siempre Wagner, único !
Absolutely Remarkable...
what a great rhythmic rousing rendition of the overture to opera number three his first comic opera until Die Meistersinger
absolutely magnificent !!
INIGUALABLE, GENIAL !!!
Tennstedt Grandios. Bravo!!
