Enjoying this video now in 2022 and reading the comments I have nothing more to add except to say that I am grateful that this wonderful performance is still available for us to enjoy nine years afterwards and hopefully into the future. It is especially encouraging that the best European classical music has captured the hearts and minds of people everywhere.
European isnt the classification that matters here, this wouldn't have ever happened without Christianity. The best artwork of every genre is only achievable though Christ.
I realize how cringe this may sound to some, but it's actually true if you have the ability to be honest, and a soul that's not degenerated enough to still see it.
@@Alex-uy7pc Whereas I can appreciate the connection between this beautiful music and the prayerful lyrics, nevertheless the music was written by a European, and so to classify it as European music is valid. Incidentally, Wagner himself was atheist and also anti-Jewish, so his personal connection with the religious theme here is problematic to say the least. There is an enormous amount of beautiful music with absolutely no connection with religious thought, so your view is quite subjective.
@@williamstringer6519 I have to agree with Mr. Alex. Wagner may not have been a Catholic churchgoer, but he comes from a Christian upbringing and society, he comes from the heartland of the Christian West. This is also shown by the text, which is about the pilgrimage to the eternal, spiritual homeland in accordance with God, and that was understood in the Christian Occident to Jesus Christ.
As an adult, many become atheists in the meantime, including Richard Wagner, because the church, when things are going well, only gives spiritual nourishment from its mother's milk. However, his music shows that he must have been given heavenly fare.
@@hermannblock4597 Of course to add to the mix, most of Wagner's operas were based on a search for the sacred through tales involving ancient Germanic gods, so although his works have strong spiritual themes, they were not exclusively Christian.
@@williamstringer6519 I agree with you unreservedly. It was and is unfortunately the case that the Christian doctrine of love was only imparted to a small extent by the official churches and therefore Wagner and many other people sought their salvation in the old Germanic gods. As a result, he had little luck in his worldly affairs
The mind boggles. How can anybody criticise this masterful performance. Was divine. Thank you wolf sherwood durban
Wow, the lightness of the younger voices and the slightly faster tempo gave a new and unsuspected brightness and vigor to this piece! Very different from the regular slow, heavy and even morose renditions. Bravo!
Beglückt darf nun dich, o Heimat, ich schauen,
und grüßen froh deine lieblichen Auen;
nun lass' ich ruhn den Wanderstab,
weil Gott getreu ich gepilgert hab'.
Durch Sühn' und Buß' hab' ich versöhnt
den Herren, dem mein Herze frönt,
der meine Reu' mit Segen krönt,
den Herren, dem mein Lied ertönt.
den Herren, dem mein Lied ertönt.
Der Gnade Heil ist dem Büßer beschieden,
er geht einst ein in der? Seligen Frieden!
Vor Höll' und Tod ist ihm nicht bang,
drum preis' ich Gott mein Lebelang.
Halleluja
Halleluja
in Ewigkeit, in Ewigkeit!
Wow - Danke .
I'm German and those vocalists just pronounced it absolut perfect. Huge respect for that
Let's not exaggerate, it's obviously not perfect, but on a very high level
Perfekt nicht.

With joy, my home, I now behold thee,
and gladly greet thy smiling meadows;
now I lay down my pilgrim's staff,
for, submissive to God, I have made my pilgrimage.
By atonement and repentance I have made my peace
with the Lord, to whom my heart bows down,
who has crowned my remorse with blessing,
the Lord to whom I raise my song.
The grace of salvation is granted to the penitent,
who shall enter into the peace of heaven!
Hell and death cannot affright him,
therefore will I praise God all the days of my life.
Halleluja for evermore!
私も学生時代にこの曲に挑戦したことがあります。パート練習の時は音程をとるのが難しく苦労しましたが、4パートが揃った時には曲のイメージもつかめるようになり、オケと共演した時には鳥肌がたつほど感動したことを憶えています。
All versions of the Tannhauser Pilgrim’s Chorus are so emotional. Bravo to the Ponte Singers.
Very powerful and strong version! It seems like the more voices with Wagner the better. Great performance. Many voices sounding as one.
Hongkongers, Mainland or not, who cares. they are MUSICIANS! young ones and great on top of it!
There are no young people here, here there are Chinese people who look young even when they are old
@@ivanberrio7000 when is young young or old old?
@@benediktmorak4409 Hi. I actually mean that each person in the choir can be much older than they appear.
A Chinese orchestra and choir doing Wagner...I think this is wonderful. It may not be Theilemann, but so what? The Maestro, musicians and singers obviously are putting there all into it, and the audience is appreciative. I Like It!
They are Hongkongers, not mainland Chinese. They are different people. But they sang very very well! Especially in German
John Graham watch out for your cat
Watch out for the typical white supremacists to start complaining about Chinese people.
The Chinese gave us inspirational poems by Li Po. Currency as we know it today . As a mark of respct. I say thank you. Warning any rightwing comments on this posting or who should be playing or preforming Wagner will be passed on to the police. Sorry Matteo I am not referring to you. Respect.
@@SiameseCats4ever You don't have to be white to complain about the Chinese, ask the Hong Kong singers in this video or any of the other Asian countries in the area lol
I love this chorus so much - and not because my name is Wagner. I love a song that builds and builds. I get chills when it crescendos. Not the best version I have ever heard but still gorgeous.
Cual es esa "mejor versión" que haz escuchado?
Oh, for heavens sake Timothy, can't you they are very young. And german's probably not their motherlanguage.
Great singing boys and girls. Love it. :)
Yes, great!
Can we just for a moment appreciate the whole hearted and sincere emotion that this conductor put into this inspired and spirited performance.
paldies bet ne
I loved his energy and enthusiasm.
Was soll das heißen? Antisemitisch?
I agree 100%. I really admire the enthusiasm of this young conductor. Bravo for him!
Thank you for pointing this out. This conductor's work is so heartfelt and inspiring.
逐漸堆砌沉緩的張力，最終化為火爆的激動❣️
Yes, very Wagnerian.
Wagner ya no es sólo alemán. Nos pertenece a los que lo amamos
This piece of music has inspired me to get things sorted. The power of the singers and orchestra fires me up. I draw strength from the pilgrims chorus from Tannhauser. Thanks fellow people of all the earth.
Breathtaking performance of a magnificent composition of music. I have sung the Pilgrim’s chorus and hearing this once again moves my soul.❤️
Que tremenda interpretación. Al comenzar a escucharlos lo hice sin verlos y noté algo extraño en el acento! ... al verlos entendí. Soberbios ellos, muy emocionante.
When Wagner's got the horns going, you don't suppress them.
Very beautiful and moving. Well done by all involved
Excellence as ever from a wonderful group of very hardworking and talented people. Yes Richard W would have been very proud of this performance
Thank you very much for your appreciation!
i hate bananas
I have the song on CD and Merry Christmas ☃️🎄 Go HUG someone today IF they're been vaccinated or not 🚫 Greet all the Christians with a Holy EMBRACE 1 Thessalonians 5 26 and do it responsibly Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
Impressively good. But you can hear that the singers have never walked in a German Forest. Nevertheless: Thumbs up!
Respekt! Chinesen interpretieren eine deutsche Komposition! Und das auf hohem Niveau!
Magnífica interpretación de Coro de Peregrinos de Tannhauser..!!!
Celebrate and be grateful that Wagner's glorious music is so well performed and embraced by
a completely different culture. It sounds excellent. I know German a bit and this is very good. I admire the
artists for crossing the cultural barrier so intrepidly.. Bravo.
What is so good about Wagner?
I am ignorant.
Cultural appropriation is NEVER ok. This work should only be performed by those with German blood. This video is an insult to German people.
Considering all Chinese schools of music study western classical tradition and have been for a century AT LEAST, this is not surprising. At all. or a barrier breaking. or anything.
Mike Reed very very sad
@@mikereed9963 Guys like you, who post such a disgusting insult to our culture are almost NEVER german in any way. You just post it: You would never, ever dare to say that in a public space
very great performance! tuning, tempo, volumes, all perfect! Thanks for making me cry :)
WONDERFUL ! WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR ALL OF THESE YOUNG PEOPLE !
MAY GOD'S BLESSINGS BE ON ALL !
Perhaps the most stirring combination of voice and orchestral music ever written.
That performance moved me. Absolutely magnificent!
I saw a beautiful production of The Flying Dutchman in Tokyo in 2007, and to be honest, it was the best performance of this opera I had ever seen. The German was practically perfect!
Nothing tears at my souls more than some of Wagner's great choral works
famoso trecho da ópera Tanhauser.estava no filme "Sonho de Amor", sobre a vida de Franz Liszt. O filme é um espetáculo,
para quem aprecia a música, e existe em DVD no Brasil. o tamanho deste coral é algo impressionante.

Teenage girl wears a kimono to her formal: Freak the fsck out because cultural appropriation.
This:
What are you talking about? Music is universal.
Goosebumps and tears. Thank you.
yes, i know, its so bad...
Pragtige vertolking van n stukkie Goddelike musiek.
Beautiful rendition. Love the conductor's energy. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Admirable!! Gloriosa interpretación!!!
Superb performance and presentation in EVERY way. Thank you. I wouldn't have, perhaps, even encountered this piece but for the fact that our Prime Minister Cameron was humming it when he walked back into number 10 Downing Street, London from his lectern, following his resignation!👍
NoAxe
I'm repeating myself but does this conductor realize how special he is? His conducting style is unique, heartfelt, and inspiring.
La grandeza del pueblo aleman. Hipnotiza
I feel glad that perhaps some people will appreciate European culture once we are gone from this Earth
Anyone in 2024?
Thousands!
All the beauty and soul of any performance I have seen of the Pilgrims Chorus! (and I have listened to many) Bless you for your hardworking efforts to accomplish this and us German souls appreciate your accomplishment in this greatly!!!
I'm not sure what the knocks on this are really about. The brass didn't drown out the choir, the "Hallujahs" were quite vigorous. I was just at a performance of "Tannhäuser" at the Lyric Opera in Chicago, and this is if anything a better performance.
Wonderful! It reminds me of Mark Twain's words: "Presently that noble chorus of men's voices was heard approaching, and from that moment until the closing of the curtain it was music, just music-music to make one drunk with pleasure, music to make one take scrip and staff and beg his way round the globe to hear it."
¡Grandioso! Se repite la sintonía de la obertura. ¡Realmente hermoso!
Beautiful performance, and especially moving knowing that it was performed by a once Free Hong Kong.
belíssimo coro da ópera de Richard Wagner, que apareceu em alguns filmes, como "Sonho de Amor" de 1960 sobre a vida de Franz Liszt, e "Melodia Interrompida" com Glenn Ford e Eleanor Parker, nos anos 50.
Brilliant. Made me cry. It also made my mother cry many decades ago. She loved Wagner and this was one of the few records to play on our old Dansette record player in the 1960's. It is such great sadness that Wagners music is tainted by it's association with Fascism (deserved or not), and that also made my family members cry in the 1930's-1940's. I cant help but love the music and hate the fascism.
shivers down my spine, goosebumps all over
ça ! c'est une très belle interprétation !!!! bravo !!!
Wagner would have been proud.
Wagner would have hated it. This is cultural appropriation.
Yeah, unfortunately Wagner would have likely been racist and ignored the value in other people celebrating music. Like how he spit on Mendelsohn's work just because he was Jewish
@@joshc2308 I'm Jewish and can appreciate his God-given talent. Problem with "liberals " like yourself is that you are history-light as respects just about everything. Study the man and his life. Take a look, for example, at his relationship with the only man he trusted to conduct his works. Hans.Von Bulow, a Jew.
@@geneslavin6642 Never once said he didn't have talent, nor did I give my political opinions to be labeled a liberal. Pilgrim's Chorus almost always brings a tear to my eye when I hear it performed live (and I also happen to be Jewish). Raw music itself cannot be antisemitic. I'm not devaluing his creation or talent, I'm simply making a comment on his moral character and how our modern view on race and musical ability has shifted. It's pretty hard to defend Wagner as a "good person" by today's standards considering the antisemitic themes throughout his operas and fervent desire to stomp out Jewish musicians, even if he attempted to "purify" a close Jewish friend through a forced baptism. That is my belief, but that doesn't change the power of Wagner's music or its value. Please avoid creating assumptions about others without engaging in some sort of dialogue, we're all just trying to share and enjoy beautiful music :).
That just stands the hairs on the back of my neck. Bravo.
I don't care who sings this..just sing it with love.
Margo Evitts - thank you outstanding
Wonderful singing
no
Love this song very much
I'm in love with classical music.
Search for Klaus Tennstedts Tannhäuser Ouvertüre, its quite impressive :)
Romantic music in this case
Profundo, gracioso, fantástico! Um gênio maior de todos os tempos!
Прекрасное исполнение,
Но, дожились, Герамнские, Фундаментальные прозведения, лучше всего исполняют китайцы
We don't have much heroic music now. Guess elevation of the spirit is out of fashion. Thank God for Wagner.
Is this a high school choir/orchestra?!?!?!? They all look so young! Wow!
So very wonderfully well done! Finally the timpani's are given the full voice they deserve...again well done.
Resplendent in talent and performance quality! Wagnerian suspension is spot on! Bravo!
Great and Wonderful. Regards.
The Hallelujahs at 3:05 are my favorites ever.
Chineses interpretando uma obra alemã com perfeição! Estupendo!
Thank you for this beautiful interpretation
Who the fuck would down vote this?!
Choral intonation and tone occasionally suffer, but normally this work is quite well-performed. The conductor is excellent. All aspects are under him and it all shines. I also love all the conducting gestures he employs. His conducting patterns and gestures remind me of myself somewhat, but also those of Linda R. Hall and especially those of The Maestro Eugene Ormandy. Bravo!
Deutsche Kultur ist auch zugleich Weltkultur.

Stupendous! Thank you to all involved.
Monumental Wagner
Beethoven and Wagner live on Mount Olympus.
Wagner was a strong antisemit, so he will probably not.
There's magic in the sound...
Fantastic....Well done!
phrasing really needs work
Спето великолепно. Единственное, что смущает - численность хора паломников. Почти корпус, в любом случае - несколько батальонов.
Beautiful! Just beautiful! 👍👏👏👏👏
Thank you for your support!
- Coro dos peregrinos -
Através de penitência e arrependimento que eu tenho propiciou
O senhor, a quem meu coração serve,
Quem coroas meu arrependimento com bênção,
O senhor a quem a minha música vai para cima!
A salvação do perdão é concedida ao penitente,
Em dias que virão ele vai andar na paz dos bem-aventurados!
O inferno e a morte não assustarão ele,
Pelo que eu louvo a Deus minha longa vida.
Aleluia! aleluia na eternidade!
Es una versión algo diferente de las que he escuchado con anterioridad, al principio me parecieron algo titubeantes. El aleluya me pareció que tenía exceso de tenores. Pero reitero es mi parecer comparando lo que he escuchado desde siempre. No tengo la partitura en mis manos y aunque la tuviera quizás el director introdujo algunos matices de su cosecha.

UN CORO QUE NO ME CANSO DE ESCUCHAR UNA DELICIA
Un sincero incoraggiamento a questi giovani che hanno voluto cimentarsi con un brano così impegnativo
По музыке узнаем мы страны. Но Великая Германия запомнится, как Древний Рим.
buena interpretacion.- para mi gusto personal un poco fraseado y sincopado, y los bonces en ocasiones , excesivo.- anyway muy bueno
wonderful congratulations!
...because their hearts are free! And yes, Red China is just another drop in the bucket to Almighty God, the creator of all: Christ Jesus, THE King of Kings and The Lord of lords!
I remember when I first heard this piece it was the instrumental version--and thinking, "bleh." But when I heard it with the accompanying chorus I was blown away--goosebumps.
I must have been here for at least hundred times. Amazing performance. Amazing dedicated conductor. I'l be back.
I was back again 😀
just wonderful !!!
Viva Wagner! ❤️
