Richard Wagner -Parsifal- Prelude

Trombonist sitting a row behind and to the right of french horns thanks you, sir. Danke, Herr Musikalisches Genie!

Richard Wagner..the john Williams before John Williams. No disrespect but you know where I'm coming from.

WH Auden believed that Richard Wagner was perhaps "The greatest genius who has ever lived!" I am inclined to agree, up there with Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexandra the Great, da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galileo, Shakespeare, Newton, Goethe, Mozart, Napoleon, Beethoven, Mahler, Einstein, Stravinsky, Schrodinger, von Neumann, and Feynman in my opinion.

Forefather of movie music.

Wagner ist u. bleibt einzigartig. Peter Mannheim😂😂😂😊😊

When I want to die I listen to this heavenly music. I long to be with God and Jesus.

"My salvation is to die a knight of the Round Table" "You are that, and more. You are it's greatest knight. You are what is best in men."

If I remember right I don't think Elmer fud and bugs bunny ever played this one

Banger Fr 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I agree. Really beautiful this music.

...man muß sich mal vorstellen, das Schmarotzer alleine bis zum Buchstaben F , zwanzig Namen weg gelöscht haben damit die sich irgendwo anders in der Tabelle einsetzen können. Sie stehen aber im Buch, so ein Ärger nicht wahr. Und die stehen auch von Anfang an in meinem. Jetzt korrigiere ich meine korrektur, wird schon. Alle die komplett fehlen sind also vermerkt und von mir aufgeschrieben. Oder werden noch nach getragen ,falls ich etwas übersehen habe.

This is also used to great effect, where it is played in its entirety, as the soundtrack to the closing moments of the episode ‘The Rooster’ for a tv show called Millennium that aired back in the X-Files era.

Hermoso !!! Lo recomiendo como llave tonal para conectar con el Arcángel Gabriel en mi canal @NuevoCiclo Muchas gracias por elevar la vibración del planeta.

…Avvincente una Musica che sa esprimere con la massima energia ed il rigore estremo il Tremendum di una certezza e - al tempo stesso - la sconvolgente compassione che da questa certezza deriva.

Adoro Wagner. ❤️

The subdued picture adds to this beautiful, poignant music.

I remember this in Excalibur

As beautiful as any piece of music I've heard. I know that doesn't add much with so many people saying likewise here. Nothing to reproach in appreciative comments, however. A most welcome absence of people regurgitating a Wagner snippet they learnt two minutes ago on Wikipedia (probably bollocks), claiming that any real appreciation of this work would require a different conductor, or bemoaning some technical aspect of which they clearly have little understanding. Humbly sorry, I've just found a lot of that elsewhere and would expect better from those who love Wagner's music.

Where are the English when real music is made.

Sublime!

Merveilleuse musique onirique... Mais quelqu'un a-t-il remarqué, dans l'illustration, le visage d'un jeune Wagner ? C'est dans la moitié gauche, les deux tiers de l'image en partant du bas. Le regard est profond. Prendre un peu de recul pour mieux s'en rendre compte ; je l'ai découvert par hasard en me déplaçant tandis que j'écoutais ce prélude fabuleux. Jolie coïncidence, en tout cas.

Richard Wagner isn't a human being, he is a GOD !!!

C'est pratiquement de la sophrologie.
On a l'impression d'être à côté du créateur céleste.

Grandiose, magnifique version

PARSIFAL
Legends, like all else, become encrusted by transmission and lose their beauty and it is further evidence of Wagner's greatness that he was never bound in his expression by fashion or creed. He always asserted the prerogative of art in dealing with allegories untrammeled and free.

As he says in RELIGION AND ART: "One might say that where religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion by recognizing the figurative value of the mythical symbol, which religion would have us believe in a literal sense, and revealing its deep and hidden truths through an ideal presentation. * * * Whilst the priest stakes everything on religious allegories being accepted as matters of fact, the artist has no concern at all with such a thing since he freely and openly gives out his work as his own invention. But religion has sunk into an artificial life when she finds herself compelled to keep on adding to the edifice of her dogmatic symbols, and thus conceals the one divinely true in her, beneath an ever-growing heap of incredibilities recommended to be believed. Feeling this, she has always sought the aid of art, who on her side has remained incapable of a higher evolution so long as she must present that alleged reality to the worshiper, in the form of fetishes and idols, whereas she could only fulfill her true vocation when, by an ideal presentment of the allegorical figure, she let to an apprehension of its inner kernel-the truth ineffably divine."

Turning to a consideration of the drama of Parsifal we find that the opening scene is laid on the grounds of the Castle of Mount Salvat. This is a place of peace, where all life is sacred; the animals and birds are tame, for, like all really holy men, the knights are harmless, killing neither to eat nor for sport. They apply the maxim, "Live and let live," to all living creatures."
From Mysteries of the Great Operas- Max Heindel.

Parsival = Parsipahl meaning Persian Hero ( Parsi=Persian and Pahl= Hero), was a Saasanian Knight! the whole theme stolen from persian mythology dating 224 AD finding its way by romans to europe during persian / roman wars over armenia!

Jesus loves all Grail-seekers. Don't give up the search for the Truth!

"The position, in which, life begins... is that, in which, it ends... And that, in which it will return.
There is an end/Of Wrong and Death and Hell. When the long wear of Time and Suffering... Has effaced the stain/Ingrown upon the soul, and the cleaned spirit...
Long ages floating on the wandering winds/Or rolling deeps of Space, renews itself/And doth regains its dwelling...
Time calls and Change commands both men and gods... And speeds us on... We know not whither;
But the old Earth smiles/Spring after Spring... and the seeds burst again.
And the dead lives renew themselves... And rise aloft and soar... Clothing themselves with change... Till the last change... be done."

Anyone listen to this piece under Rudolf Kempe's baton? It's on the EMI label. Out of print now, but quite ethereal and magical. I've held on to my only copy for 35 years, never let it out of my sight for fear of irretrievably losing the conductor's finest work.
