There are no adjectives that can properly describe this majestic piece of music. Just listen and become absorbed in a masterpiece written by a true genius.
Selten, das man den Liebestod in konzertanter, also ohne stimmlichen Einsatz, Aufführung erlebt. Und Thielemann ist und bleibt einer der besten um Wagners Musik zu einem wundervollen Erlebnis werden zu lassen. Egal welches Orchester er "befehligt", das Ergebnis ist kraftvoll und würde Richard Wagner sicherlich gefallen. Eine tolle Aufnahme, danke!
Eine Wahnsinnsoper. Das heftigste an Musik was Oper im allgemeinen zu bieten hat. Keiner hat jemals so etwas geschrieben, so etwas kann es nur von Wagner geben! Grüße aus München
This simply has to be the most gorgeous orchestral piece of music I have ever,ever,ever heard in my entire life! Thank wagner.i just love you!!!! Better than barber of Seville, carmen etc; Paul jones Baltimore,md Gorgeous!!!! I'm sorry I could listen to that all day!!!!!!!
Wow...what a performance. The silence at the end is just as important to the music as the notes preceding it are, and this audience is aware and knowledgeable of just that. I love the deliberate tempo the conductor takes throughout the work; never rushed so that the small nuances of the harmonies, especially in the modulations, allow the chords to blossom on their own. Also, it affords the tremolo of the string section some wonderful rhythmic playability that is seldom heard in faster tempos.
This brings tears to my eyes and my whole body is in goosebumps from start to end. Thank you so much for posting this. Wagner is sublime, no doubt about it.
Ho visto molti anni fa il giovane Thielemann dirigere R. Wagner con l'orchestra di Santa Cecilia in Roma a via della Conciliazione. Allora era una promessa, con il tempo è diventato la conferma di grande direttore wagneriano. Ha diretto questo brano di Tristano e Isotta con grande maestria e passione. Un piacere immenso ascoltarlo.
I couldn't describe my feelings and emotions better! Sometimes, after a hard working day I just sit down on my couch, turn on this wonderful Music - and all stress is gone and I'm relaxed totally...
I play this all the time on my violin along with various performances sung by the great sopranos (Flagstad, Traubel etc) on RUclips (Violin 1 part from the score) - it's gorgeous!!!!!
i really like the dynamics and the pacing. there's a lot of shape going on. i can imagine that its not quite what the conductor wanted.. like you could wrestle with it forever to get it to open up just right.
Indicates, that people actually listened to it, and felt it so hard they didn't wanted to ruin the moment with immidiate applause. And you are not yet able to appresiate music completely.
@MrFippsi Dieses Stück beschreibt genau das um was es bei Liebe gehen sollte, für das Liebesglück sterben zu können und sich bis ans ende hinzugeben ohne einschrenkungen! WUNDERBAR!
Es divertida-si no fuese ofensiva-la forma en que algunos comentaristas suelen proyectar sus personalidades escribiendo reflexiones subjetivas sin asidero real. Thielemann sino es el mejor Director del mundo, tampoco es la persona que nos pinta Oboistru ,quien ademas se jacta de "conocer" que los musicos de la orquesta odian a su director. Ese conocimiento "magico" no se compagina con la cara de los musicos ( final del evento) ,ni con la ovacion al Director,ni con su actual carrera
Wunderschön! Ohne die Stimmliche Störung von nichtssagende Töne, die nur stören die herrliche chromatische Orchesterpartie!!! Ein Komponist wie Wagner musste sich etwas besseres gefallen
wonderful!a genius.its a pity he and his music is associated with hitler and anti semitism, which must stop many people from ever hearing his music.stephen fry did an interesting show on wagner recently on bbc4 which people should watch.
I find the TRAGIC element here terribly missing,it's as if they are all going through the motions only and leaving me cold at the end of this piece. Utterly boring, what a perversion. And definitely Thielemann ain't NO Karajan! Go listen to Bohm's with the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra. sd goh (malaysia)

Beyond words -only tears can describe this sublime music.

I wish, the last piece of music before I will close my eyes eternally will be this climax of all music ever composed.

Baltimore,md
Gorgeous!!!! I'm sorry
I could listen to that all day!!!!!!!
Paul, you are right ! All that Richard Wagner composed is simply out of this world !
Damn right, I second that. 😄

An experience for the soul..
Fantastic ! So wonderful hearing this...

So wonderful. Tears in my eyes.
the silence on the end - indicates an audience that really understands this music!!
This is one of the most beautiful versions of the Liebestod I have ever heard. Thanks for uploading this!
Hatte beim Anhören am ganzen Körper Gänsehaut. Ein Meisterwerk.
Beautifully done! Bravo! Tears.

Liebestod - one of the great peaks in the fabulous mountain range of European culture. 🙏
That...silence...was almost as breathtaking as the music. Never seen something so perfect.

The best interpretation I've heard.
Ewigkeit. Dort wo es keine Zeit mehr gibt.
Wonderbar !

Einfach wunderschön
Unübertreffbar.
This is so beautiful.
Absolutely superb.
stunning.
Un brano che ti prende cuore e anima
Es tan mágico, tanta sensillez, se siente como en el cielo.Demasiado bonito.
Y despues morirse.

Wonderful. Thielemann knows what he is doing! Dorothea :)

Magnífico.
Thank you, I was in there, Suntory Hall in Tokyo
fantastica!
Geweldige uitvoering van dit meesterwerk!! Groetjes
¿Como un hombre tan mezquino pudo crear esta musica exquisita y conmovedora?
Unübertrefflich. Niemand interpretiert Wagner so tief beeindruckend wie Thielemann
fantastic!
what a fantastic audience!
He shed some tears in the end.

lo máximo de un amor entre dos personas...bien representada por Wagner
Fantastic! And one should not forget he is a Karajan student!
Ich Auch Gänsehaut Wünder Schön
A word of warning! Do not play this piece if driving alone at night.
Bravo!
Beautiful, Ausgezeichnet, Prima.

inolvidable
Wagner was a genius!
@FishMan1202 Yes. I see what you mean, especially in Wotan's Farewell.
packend,macht mich atemlos
Emotions Kunst.
extraordinary!! this version made me too sensitive

Sí,se puede morir de amor ; pero morir acompañado de esta música es morir en cuerpo
pero renacer en espíritu.-
Es por éso que el título original que Wagner dio al aria es Verklärung (transfiguración).
Wunderschön! Ohne die Stimmliche Störung von nichtssagende Töne, die nur stören die herrliche chromatische Orchesterpartie!!!
Ein Komponist wie Wagner musste sich etwas besseres gefallen
Wer meint, die Stimmen in Wagners Oper stören, sollte seine Opern nicht hören.
Die Stimmen haben eine bedeutende Rolle in Wagners Opern.
me too
Ich traf Thielemann bei den Berliner Philharmonikern im Jahr 2002
Metal sent me here.
MOST SUBLIME !!!!
少しテンポが遅すぎるのが残念。全体的にはとても良い音ですが。
i thought it was slow
Dommage ce chef a une gestique de Panzer Division !
Karajan 2

The West is the best
Mein Gott!

Apotheosis. Nuff said.
Europe is dying

Fisically painful to watch. There's something negative about the way he conducts.
And orchestra seems to hate him as well.
I'd say that the orchestra is much better than the conductor.....
well started, then no sense for climax - typical for Thielemann. "Boring guy..." Wagner would say.
