Tristan und Isolde - End of Act 3 - Liebestod

- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2012
- Enthralling and emotionally devastating conclusion to Wagner's Tristan und Isolde.
The acclaimed 1995 Bayreuth production by Heiner Müller, conducted by Daniel Barenboim with fire and sensitivity. Siegfried Jerusalem and Waltraud Meier were the Tristan and Isolde of choice throughout the decade, and were at the height of their interpretive powers. Müller and stage designer Erich Wonder have compressed the monumental story into a clear and fascinating geometry of love, creating highly evocative spaces through projections of colors and forms.

How did I live before this. How will I live after this.
That is the question.
I was listening to this on the subway and had to put my sunglasses on so no one would see my eyes watering and think I was a crazy person. What a perfect and moving performance of this already devastating piece of music. I can't!
you are not alone, never. don't forget, never
Nobody with a soul would blame you for crying during Isoldes Lovedeath.
hey you are exageratting....yoyu are so ridiculous
I was like, damn this lady sings it as well as Waltraud Meier.
Then I realized it was Waltraud Meier. LoL.
So good she knows what's going on harmonically and she displays it through her character. She actually exhales as the last Tristan chord finally, after four hours, resolves.
Magnificent!!❤❤❤❤
Yes exactly, it's so important!
Wonderful. My dad passed away in 1993, this was his favourite piece of music, he loved listening to Kirsten Flagstad. The Furtwangler / Flagstad recording was my introduction to Wagner, I was hooked from that moment. My dad would have been blown away by Waltraud Meier.
Still after all these years this final act still manages to make me cry. If I am driving and this comes on the radio, here come the tears! I usually only go the Wagner operas , took a bud of mine to see this ( he wanted to see what the big deal was about), asked him to store tissues in his pockets and sure enough, once Isolde starts that first note of this, here come the tears....But I looked over in the dark and there was a tiny tear in his face. He was floored by this whole opera. And like me he never missed a Wagner opera performance whenever it hits town.

Hopefully you have not let Wagner prevent you from seeing/hearing/experiencing the emotive power of composers from Vivaldi to Ades and Heggie in opera. What a shame if you reject so much beauty solely to hear Wagner.
@@wilsonwatt9283 LOL of course I go to other operas!!! I just prefer Wagner. Aida and La Boheme are also my favorites, Mozart Don Giovanni is pretty awesome to watch when it comes to town.
"... wafting about me, ... clouds of heavenly fragrance? ... to expire in sweet perfume? ... in the vast wave of the world's breath, to drown, to sink unconscious -- supreme bliss!" HOW GRANDIOSE! HOW AWE-INSPIRING! HOW PASSIONATE! And yet HOW TENDER, all at the same time!! This is my first exposure to an operatic performance of this Wagner "passage"; usually I simply watch an orchestral performance of the piece. THIS IS BEING BOOKMARKED!!! I can hardly see the monitor thru my joyous tears to type this reply. WUNDERBAR!!! DANKE!!! With such a less-than-elaborate backdrop, beautiful in its simplicity!
My God these voices! They are incredible!
14:11 - The feeling of complete peace and acceptance that life is over, and know matter how painful it was, it was beautiful.
Very well said.
God this is deep.
I'm crying at this point.

. . . Un instant de béatitude, sinon de beauté aveuglante.
Barenboim is a genius. His Wagner is so heartfelt, alive, emotional and I always understood why he loved to work with Waltraud Meier and her understanding of the necessity for a warm and touching tone Wagner needs.
I've come to believe that Barenboim is the greatest of the modern Wagner conductors...and this is a pretty crowded field.
This is so true...Barenboim FEELS Wagner in the depths of his SOUL...
The most emotional love song which was ever written.
Absolutely no one on earth sings this aria better than Waltraud Meier. What you just heard is as good as it gets, and that's perfection.
Have you heard Flagstad's? Its also marvelous
@@gglucs1799 I searched "Flagstad's aria tristen and isolde" and nothing came up. Can you be more specific? I want to hear it.

Wunderbare Musik! Der Höhepunkt kommt bei 13:56, als die Bläser zu einer wunderbaren Melodie anheben, in welcher soviel Sehnsucht liegt und welche wie aus dem Jenseits klingt. Die Oper endet in einer wunderschönen, friedlichen Harmonie.
Incredible and awe inspiring. It gives me goose bumps every time I hear it.
There are no words adequate enough to do justice to this work of art.
This piece never gets old. It is forever emotional and moving. It always brings me to tears.
I have never heard anything in my life more magnificent and enchanting than this opera and Ms. Meier's glorious voice. Brava and bravo.
Sublime musique , magistralement interprétée !!!! ..." Isoldes Liebesbestod " est incontestablement l'un des sommets de l'art lyrique !!!! Il y en a bien d'autres chez le génial maître de Bayreuth !!!! "
All the years of rock and roll, THIS is the only time police showed up at my house. Building a Triumph chopper back in the day, 3 AM, 85 degrees out, this opera blasting away. As an album side ended, I slid the trans cluster into the case, great timing. AHEM!!! Ooops... 'Morning Officer, I'll turn it down some...'. He smiles and says I have been to a lot of loud music complaints, but NEVER to an opera! what in hell are you listening to? Any more questions?
I always crank Wagner when I am cleaning house
In residence I once got annoyed by a part in the room below me so I put this on at full volume and hung my speaker out the window directed at my neighbour... i heard a few WTFs
That resolution is absolutely shattering
What a wonderful power voice! I thought only Jessy Norman's interpretation could give me goosebumps … but goodness me!
The ending in this piece is in the movie Shining through and it is so beautiful. People think I'm crazy for enjoying Opera!
Meier here does what Callas did in the Visconti Lucia mad scene. She shows that movement is not necessary if the voice has the true emotive power of the composer within its scope. Less is more is a great principle of architecture that should be applied more often to opera direction/production.
You are right 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took My breath away. Brought me to tears.
+#SUPERSTAR Absolutely !!! This is so powerfull, so beautiful.
I hope that when I reach my 60s, I can show my grandchildren and remember my youth.
Tristan und Isolde is for me the best opera ever. I love all of the music and the Liebestod (Death Song) is extremely moving, raw and emotional. I have heard many versions of it, including the great Birgit Nielson. This is now my favorite version. The lady singing is beyond compare! I would love to see this opera in person.
Enjoyed your comment, just had to point out that _liebestod_ means "love death" ... only in death are the lovers Tristan and Isolde finally together (which I never took seriously as a libretto, because death _separates_ , it doesn't "unite" which is why religions offer a "life after death"; I prefer to think of this as the culmination of their passion, finally resolving in an emotional crescendo).
Birgit Nielson was THE GREATEST interpreter of this song.
Death separates if you're a Christian; Buddhists have a different approach
The lady singing is Waltraud Meier.
@@sarastroposa5198 You're exactly correct, thank you. Namaste
Lo vi en 1986 en Santiago d
E chile en 1986.
Inolvidable!!!!!
I weep at the ending.. Amazing how music can move one person to such tears.. How hauntingly beautiful..
And after 3 hours of drama ans sexual lust and belonging, this musical GOD finally resolves that damn amazing cord at the end of the piece.. what a genius
This always completely overwhelms me, just so beautiful.
One of the most glorious experiences in music ruined by the stupid placement of an ad right at the climax! if RUclips thinks that this is going to make me shell out extra bucks to purchase their ad free version they've got it totally backwards.
TBH this is the first time my eye filled with tears for over ten years, this is overwhelming
Waltraud Meier ... fantastic! ...After many years attempting to get the tickets, this july I'll be in Bayreuth listening to this live!! Looking forward !!
Lucky you!!
So how was it at Bayreuth? :)
@@noeldunsky ciao Noel! It has been amazing, 4 hours of show are really long, but there are long pauses between the acts. Some parts, were difficult to follow because of the language (I don’t speak German), the theatre is uncomfortable and hot, but the atmosphere is magic. Something that surprised me was the clarity of the voices and the volume (low) of the music, because of the position of the orchestra. I knew it would be different from other theaters but I wasn’t expecting that different. A part these impressions, Thielemann conducted perfectly, Wagner’s music is always astonishing and the Liebestod listened live has been overwhelming. I surely will try to get other tickets in the future.
Strong. Deep. Great singers. My eyes are watering. The final aria is better than everything was composed in pop music ever! It is a song made by an insane man!
I can's stop playing it! Help!
Terrific - beyond words. The ultimate expression of pure being.
A final resolution after...5 hours! Definitely worth the wait....
Many cannot or will not listen to Wagner for obvious reasons, but once you are exposed to it such as this incredible piece you're hooked. You can't resist Wagner. You can try, but it won't work. Wagner's music reaches out into your very insides and pulls you in, into the "sturm und drang" and into the rapture.
which are the "obvious reasons" except for selfrighteous and obsequious virtue signallings?
You should "obviously" know that many people cannot (or will not) separate the art from the artist. Wagner was a repugnant, despicable egomaniac and a bigot. This can be said of many people like him who were supremely gifted with an incredible genius, but produced great art for the ages.@@gerhardrohne2261
Ironic coming from you@@gerhardrohne2261
@@gerhardrohne2261 Exactly. I love Wagner
Wait why not ?
Outstanding. It's a privilege to listen to this performance
I wait for it, I wait for it, I wait for it and then have a freakin' breakdown the last 5 minutes!!!!!
muffin6369 yes
Me too
If you like Wagner, don't miss this. Unbelievably controlled, resonant and beautiful.
Wagner was a genius
Wagner was an extraterrestrial alien like Einstein...
@@sharpsvilleBill wow, those are the best same words I said Yesterday after watching Tristan und Isolde live at the theatre. Curiously enough, Einstein didn't like Wagner at all: It was too booking and loud (he often played music in order to concentrate and think)
*very same
Wagner was a genius but the director of this Tristan surely wasn't.
@@annalisafantini4678 Einstein and Wagner were both disciples of Schopenhauer.
The only music I've every listened to where I feel the need to smoke a cigarette after..:)
Because this piece of music is both erotic and eternal!
@@maciejofierski6787 I missed the eternal part. But it does imitate an orgasm. Will RUclips let me say that?
I became a mad Dutchman after viewing and hearing this performance. Danke schön.
Heaven sent!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this great video
Tristan is one Himalaya among human artistic production and this 1995 team belongs to the very happy few who served it best, including Furtwangler, Kleiber and Bohm
A interpretação de Carlos Kleiber dessa obra é elevação ao supremo.
La meilleure version de Tristan et Isolde pour toujours !
Tout simplement magnifique !
Love conquers all, the only problem: Listening to this music is more fulfilling than any real love story.😆
supreme bliss!
love ever radiant, laughing death!
man did this guy know how to end a show!
SUPERB Performance. Thank you!
This is an excellent production and portrayal of this thrilling apocolytic love scene. Wudershoen! Molto bene.
Truly a magnificent performance.
Chills everytime at 12:40
+Nathan Loveridge Yeah! I'm just say'in too. My God!!! Talk about crescendo!
+Nathan Loveridge It leaves you speechless; it feels like a cosmic orgasm. You feel the emotion in every cell of your body!!
+Nathan Loveridge If your face doesn't melt like Raiders of the Lost Ark every time you hear that, you're not a person. Unbearable tension, and then the grandfather of all beat drops. Oh my god. The rest of the denouement is like having a cigarette after an orgasm.
I get chills too .. then I tear up and have to try to stop from weeping.
Yes I will cop to the crying also. And then I torment myself by playing it over and over!!!
God, that was phenomenal.
Takes my breath away and fills my lungs with angel dust. The nine muses were fully attendent on wagner from cradle to grave
The sound quality is amazing. Thank you
Beautiful. Almost otherworldly
Sublime! Perfect! thanks for posting!
wow, i find myself speechless....BRAVO!!!!
Totally moved. I have had to say goodbye to a few loved ones over the years, and just today, I was visiting a beloved family member in hospice. The beautiful pure singing and the aria itself brought tears to my eyes.
I played this song for my mother while she was in the ICU. She was enchanted by it. I was grateful that if she had to pass, she heard one of the masterpieces of all time.
Definitely in the top 5 I've ever seen. Brava. Bravi.
What a magnificent voice this lady has. Her voice is natural, sweet and almost girlish in its lack of pretence.
superb, extremely moving ♥
Holy Fuck... The greatest. I wanna die. Play this until my death.
nut case
Waltraud Meier is in today's Wagnerian Opera world beyond compare.
Kirsten Flagstad and Birgit Nilsson, watch out! Waltraud's interpretation is perhaps not as comparable in projection and volume as your own, but I find that her nuanced performance touches more deeply.
Straordinario, magnifico, eccezionale!
That resolution... LOVE
Wonderful and tear inducing
If nothing else on RUclips, then this alone! There in Bayreuth in 1999, and still here, the Will overcoming!
So intense
Amazing! thanks for posting this.
imagine being one the first audiences to hear this piece for the first time, 162 years ago, destroyed! I'm sure, in the very best way though :)
This music touches the soul of my being. A musical/spiritual orgasm. God!
Meier is awesome
breathtaking, there ist no word more to say.
OMG! Unfathomably Beautiful.

Simply glorious.
Ojos rasados de lágrimas. Belleza plena. Poca más que decir ante la interpretación de Meier
Nicht von dieser Welt ! Wunderschön !
I like this greatly but it is anticlimactic to have no audience to respond at the end.
Superb!
13:10...extreme chills, every time.
... Barenboim als absolut genialer Wagner-Dirigent! - Hier mit sehr, sehr guten Solisten; vgl auch die ältere, noch intensivere Bayreuther Barenboim-Ponnelle-Inszenierung auf RUclips...

Breathtaking.
Incredible !
wunderbar!!!!!
Impresionante.
Wonderful.
Bravo!
i really like the audio quality here. don't know if meier is considered the best, but this one is my favorite
É maravilhoso! ouvir uma beleza dessa é sensacional! Bravos! !!!
Talvez uma das últimas apresentações de uma companhia internacional no Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, assisti a esta òpera se não me engano em 1982. Fui em uma sexta-feira e fui na noite seguinte, embora os ingressos estivessem esgotados, dei sorte de pegar uma desistência... Tempos em que havia toda uma cenografia, guarda-roupas e tudo era fascinante, para além da música... Não se fazem mais produções assim por aqui...
Beautiful
Goosebumps time.
We felt that relief, I am certain
... supreme bliss....
I cried this time
