Looney Tunes is what taught me to appreciate classical music and I passed it to my children. It was wonderful growing up in the 60’s and 70’s, wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything.
I read some where thatthe only reason they used classical music in Looney Tunes was because it was so old it was free to use and they were too cheap to pay for the rights to music.
Correct, originally, before christianization, the valkyries collected the fallen warriors and guided them to valhalla. Those who died in their beds peacefully, went to Hel, the goddess of death. Our word hell ist derived from Hel
Absolutely outstanding. Gave me goosebumps and the hairs on my neck and arms were standing up. Sadly Ive never heard it sung by such amazing singers, Ive only ever heard the instrumental version. Ive saved this to watch again. Just truly soul inspiring vocals by all the ladies.
Wagnerian opera is wonderful--if you can get the singers to SHUT UP so that we can listen to the music. Seriously. Opera sung in German is like nails on a chalkboard. 1:33 Yeah, I'm already done. Peace to my ears.
He is an exemplar of the complexity of humans. A brilliant composer, albeit that he polarises his audience, an inveterate debtor and a serial philanderer, not to mention an anti-semite.
Just not the same without helmets and steel breastplates..... I love this piece along with the rest of the ring cycle. BTW, I don"t see Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits, I see Huey gunships and Robert DuVall assaulting a Vietnamese village. When I hear the fire magic music where Wotan summons Logi, I see massive space battleships with tiny auxillary craft flying to and fro.
@@Svensk7119 Its from a different part of the opera, comes much later, the fire magic music, where Wotan summons up Logi to surround Brunhilde with a circle of fire. The deep overpowering music is the battleship and the light twinkling music are the attending fighters and auxiliary craft.

I love the staging. Simple and effective. And no horned helmets. When I hear this I am reminded how well the human voice can stand up to a full orchestra without electrification.
I was in a gifted program in elementary school. Our third grade curriculum consisted, in large part, of Norse mythology and Wagner’s ring cycle. Ride of the Valkyrie was my favorite part. It’s also kill the wabbit, the smell of napalm in the morning, and a Maxell commercial. This performance is definitely fantastic!!!
Right! the dude sitting in that low chair facing the speakers, as the music starts his drink starts to slide back on the chair arm and his hair is blowing in the wind. I've not seen or thought of that commercial in 30 years - thanks!
In the here after he must be the head of entertainment in the hall of fallen warriors preparing theirselves for the last battle ... so everything can start overnew. Wink.
Love it so much!! The great thing about Wagner was that He got the music so good and the said 'what we need is a bunch of big shouty girls. And that is what He did. Was He wrong? God bless, those big shouty girls, they made great music even greater!!
So great to see the individual solo work which gets lost on recordings. I really liked the staggered entrances onto the stage. Really gets to the heart of the action.
I love how the different Valkyries a.k.a. singers are coming in singing their part 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank goodness for the Internet. I never seen anything like this before. Good job, ladies and orchestra.🥰
Vielen Dank für diese virtuose Interpretation. Schade, dass in unserer sogenannten modernen Zeit so eine bezaubernde Musikkultur nur noch sehr selten zu sehen und zu hören ist.
Beautiful production and performance by all involved! Have to be honest, every time I hear that opening suite of music, I immediately see helicopters coming in low out of the rising sun in head.
How exquisite: the orchestra was perfect, their playing gave me chills. The singers were so powerful and the depth of their range and voices is unmatched.
For some reason, I keep seeing Bell UH-1 choppers firing rockets into a Vietnamese village, American soldiers surfing with mortars exploding around them & Robert DuValle saying, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning".
The opening was also a great Northern States Power commercial from the 70s. A guy reading the paper starts hearing the refrain. All of a sudden a helmeted woman dressed like a Viking (Brunnhilde) opens the front door carrying a spear with a piece of paper on the end, singing "Welcome to winter, in Minnesota, here is your fuel bill, haha haha."
I had the pleasure of seeing Bugs Bunny at The Symphony at Lincoln Center a few years back, which was a live Looney Tunes screening of classic cartoons accompanied by the New York Philarmonic playing the score - and this was the opening number! Remember the old Maxwell TV ad with the guy being blown away by the speaker? This piece being performed live was exactly like that!
Holy Crap! I've never been graced by the entire rendition before. Mostly just what Apocalyse Now had to offer. But with the addition of all of those pro opera singers - WOW This was a musical spectacle!
@@doberski6855 .......... The fundamental music itself is pretty danged incredible! Remember that it was written almost a century before "movies" were even imagined! 😉
In Billington's great book Fire in the Minds of Men, The Revolutionary Faith, he describes how opera was utilized in the great revolutions of the 1840s. People would leave the theater entranced and with Revolutionary fervor!
I think the best use of this classic was when Coppola used it in the helicopter attack sequence in "Apocalypse Now." Everytime I hear it, I play the entire scene in my head.
This piece is actually called The Ride of the Valkyries. The helicopters flying scene in Apocalypse Now was so iconic that it is now confused with flight, hence the common mistake of calling it The Flight of the Valkyries.
@@notaboot6686 Is that so? Well, Brunhilde's horse, Grane, will be relieved to hear that. Otherwise, he was immolated together with his owner at the music-drama's conclusion.
Il titolo originale di Wagner è "Walkürenritt" che tradotto significa "cavalcata delle walkirie" (google traslator) posso assicurarti che jel 1963, quando l'ho sentito per la prima volta (e mi ha fatto scegliere di studiare musica) quello era il titolo corrente e di "apocalipse now" non c'era nemmeno l'idea .
I have seen the Ring several times. In performance, this scene always comes off as a bit of a letdown..The stage is simply too large, the operatic cosmos too large to comfortably encompass the Valkyries (who come off, on stage, like little shrieking worms). In Concertante, however, every Valkyrie here shines and struts her stuff. This is how Wagner imagned it (constrained as he was by the limits of the stage): simply utterly insane magnificent celestial MUSIC. One is speechless at its asoutnding creativity, its newness and freshness and radicality even today almost 150 years after Wagner wrote it. BLAZING AMAZING INCREDIBLE thank you to all the performers and orchrestra
Love the score, but you know you're old when you hear the music and in you're mind you hear Elmer Fudd singing Kill the Wabbit.
…or something about the smell of napalm!
Elmer: Oh, Bwunhilda,
You're so wovewy...
Bugs: Yes, I know it,
I can't help it. 🎶
Lol
Too true
Hollywood has a lot to answer for!😂😂😂
Looney Tunes is what taught me to appreciate

Loony tunes brought the world of opera and classical music to my ears, too. ✌🏽❤️💛🖤🎶🇦🇺
Eu também sempre admirei Looney Tunes por ambientar as animações com músicas clássicas!
Saammme!😂
I read some where thatthe only reason they used classical music in Looney Tunes was because it was so old it was free to use and they were too cheap to pay for the rights to music.
Watched some of those just this morning.
The fact that the women's voices can still carry over that hefty orchestra at full volume is amazing!
Coloratura Sopranos, baby!
There are microphones in front of the singers
@@juliesczesny90or as I was called growing up “shrill and piercing” 😂 So I owned it and became an opera singer.
They did the damn thing
And ist not even the usually Schrankmöbel.
When you are a battlefield and suddenly hear that music plus the shrieks, laughs, and songs of the Valkyries, get ready for a ride... to Valhalla.
Correct, originally, before christianization, the valkyries collected the fallen warriors and guided them to valhalla. Those who died in their beds peacefully, went to Hel, the goddess of death. Our word hell ist derived from Hel
May we ride eternal, shiny and chrome.
Well said!😅
almost correct...
Freyja has first choice of the fallen warriors, who go to Fólkvangr. The other half then goes to Valhǫll. @@schurlbirkenbach1995

'Magnificent' is a gross understatement. Those ladies added another dimension to the performance. Bravo! 💥
More !! Dimensions I think
The Eurasian one esp.
Brave
@@woodsmanforlife1677 Ironic that they gave her the lead and couldn't find a Nordic singer. Probably intentional.

@@TrondheimSymfoniorkesterOpera thank you all for this magic Moment .❤️🙋♀️
Spitze!
Same here, 1st time hearing what I asume are the Valkyries singing (I don't understand German). I thought it was great!
Neither had I!
Incredible!
I never knew there were singers either! Unbelievably amazing! Gets the blood pumping!
My pops used to put this on the record player and I run madly around the house and jump on the furniture. I miss the 60's.
I am a British Army Veteran. Was Airborne. I've 25 years service. This was our Military March sounds. Played by the Parachute Regimental Band.
Why?
There is just something special about watching humans manually make music.... There must be 60+ of them, all in sync... Fantastic...
Toll! was für Stimmen! Was für Frauen!
Outstanding. Richard Wagner was a genius, indeed. Love his work.❤

Oh Warfather on high,
I am calling you from the battlefield
And as I take my last breath
I call for the mightiest of miracles
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to the ancient Valhalla
Oh Warfather on high
Listen to my prayer
I lived my life by your rules
Oh let death cover me now
100% agree
O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing,
ever waning,
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice
fate - monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy
fate is against me
in health
and virtue,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
so at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me
Oh Warfather on high
I am calling you from the battlefield
And as I take my last breath
I call for the mightiest of miracles
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to the ancient Valhalla
Oh Warfather on high
Listen to my prayer
I lived my life by your rules
Oh let death cover me now
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to Valhalla of old
[Chorus]
With the Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
Ride your horses and come to me
I'm waiting for you to take my soul, high in the sky to
Valhalla of old
Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
I'm dying and glad to bleed
Because I know today I will take my place with the heroes
In Valhalla of old
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to Valhalla of old
[Chorus]
With the Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
Ride your horses and come to me
I'm waiting for you to take my soul, high in the sky to
Valhalla of old
Valkyries, ride over the battlefield
I'm dying and glad to bleed
Because I know today I will take my place with the heroes
In Valhalla of old
In The Halls of Valhalla I finally take my place
With my sword and my shield I enter Odin's realm
I'm an immortal spirit now with a heart made of steel
With the gods on high forever I will live and laugh at the
Fears of man

Good stuff!!!!!! Thank You for writing it out!!!!
Wonderful, thank you!!
I don’t know much about opera, but these ladies seem to have incredible voices. It’s the first time I’ve heard this in whole and I loved it.
Was introduced to this masterpeace when barley twenty years old. My favorite of all that I was exposed or introduced to.
Wearing valkyrie armor should be mandated for this.
Outstanding! Brought tears to my eyes! Magnificent performance of Wagners genius.

I never get tired of listening to this piece.
Ich habe Angst...
It’s to be played while I’m lying in state before my funeral, with several others not correct for a funeral.
when the women began, i lost it...Magnificent!
When my father bought his first stereo in the 50s , this was on it. Loved it then , love it more now.
Brilliant. The acting of the singers makes this special. The looking up effect.
I love how the different Valkyries a.k.a. singers are coming in singing their part 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank goodness for the Internet. I never seen anything like this before. Good job, ladies and orchestra.🥰
Yes, you cannot perform this song without a commitment to the drama and theater it entails. Well done!
Old classics never die, they mature with age. Bellissimo. Grazie.
Good performance. The music certainly conjures up ladies you don't want to mess about with.
Those women's voices
Truly Heavenly harmonisation is simply immortal and impeccable
I flew helicopters in South Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry 1970-1971. And listening to this has me pumped up at age 75.
Thank You for Your service Sir. Live long and prosper

Beautiful production and performance by all involved! Have to be honest, every time I hear that opening suite of music, I immediately see helicopters coming in low out of the rising sun in head.
I'm glad It's not just me 😂
To be played at volume 11! By law. 😂
It's relatively rare to get the true sung version.
Plenty of orchestral renditions, but they lack the "fury".
How exquisite: the orchestra was perfect, their playing gave me chills. The singers were so powerful and the depth of their range and voices is unmatched.
Beautiful. Captivating. I don't think i've ever heard such a heartfelt performance of this piece.
Please appreciate that these women are dominating a full symphony orchestra and filling an opera house without microphones. What power.
Who got their first taste of classical music from Bugs Bunny.. "Kill the Wabbit. kill the Wabbit"..??? LMAO
I did many years ago when I was a kid😂
GRACIAS ALEMANIA 🇩🇪 POR DARNOS TANTO Y TANTO POR BIEN DEL MUNDO
