Wagner/De Vlieger: An orchestral adventure (Der Ring des Nibelungen)
Opname: AVROTROS Vrijdagconcert, donderdag 20 oktober 2016, in TivoliVredenburg te Utrecht.
Henk de Vlieger, oud-slagwerker van het RFO, maakte een ‘pocketversie’ van Wagners 'Ring des Nibelungen', waarin hij de mooiste orkestrale delen samenvoegt tot één groot symfonisch gedicht.
Het AVROTROS Vrijdagconcert is een concertreeks van NPO Radio 4 en AVROTROS, in samenwerking met NTR, de Stichting Omroep Muziek en TivoliVredenburg. Kijk voor het concertprogramma 2016-2017 op www.radio4.nl/avrotrosvrijdagc....
At 60, after 50yrs of listening to & loving rock & roll music (The Beatles, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, etc) I discovered & became enthralled with Wagner. Now at 63 my love of music is complete.
Yeah. Metal head here. Music composed by a genius, played by 40 musicians is pretty hard to beat. Try beethoven, he rocks ;)
@@TheAlwaysPrepared The composer you should listen to next really rocks, That's why his name is Rachmaninoff.
Add in Bowie and it's same with me. This is the origin of rock
@@paulheffron4836 Did u mean Rockmaninoff? :D
@@i_am_well I sure did. Give him a listen. There are many You Tube postings of his great music.

I look at every single member of this orchestra and try to imagine a lifetime of study, practice, and excellence in order for them to get to where they were on this day. This is absolutely brilliant. A collection of all stars.
Steve, you have just stated what I have been thinking and you have eloquently expressed it in words...well done! Wes
A galaxy.
And this is what I find the true beauty of performing...to shed all those blood, sweat and tears for just a moment to express and prove yourself.
My college roommate was a 2nd chair trumpet on Chicago Symphony. Now almost 75, he has been playing since he was a kid. Army Field Band, Eastman School of music, and years of just what you state here.
they are but a cardboard cut out parody of the great german orchestras of the 60s and 70s

Hace algunos mese trato de buscar interpretaciones de Wagner. Esto es absolutamente impresionante... creo que fué el mas grande compositor de la historia. Sus innovaciones fueron determinantes. Amo esta música. Absolutamente fantástica.
Sem dúvida um dos grandes. Em termos de composições épicas, não creio que tenha melhor.
Reminds me to be glad I'm alive.
Wunderbar! Wem die Nibelungensaga gefällt, unbedingt die wunderschönen Volkslieder von "Lorelina" anhören. Einfach magisch! Solche tollen Künstler haben mehr Aufmerksamkeit und Kommentare verdient.
Wow! A german comment! Liebe Grüße!
Can you recomend something in particular? Im new in this orchestra world

Superb, and not one crappy commercial in the whole piece. Thank you!!!!
Wow this is why classical music is called classical, it will be performed for centuries to come. The true masters will never be forgotten. :))
This is not classical music. Classical period ends in around 1803-1807

...it should be called Truth Music, because it hints at the wondrous, future potential available to mankind as the adopted sons and daughters of God Almighty, through Christ Jesus, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords.
Many, many thanks to the soundengineers too...
Wagner,what a genius.Every instrument utilized.Magnificent composition.Fantastic orchestra.
Even INVENTING new instruments to satisfy the sound he desired! I found Wagner at 14.....and 40 yeas later still obsessed. Beautiful comment!
Agree, Brendan. And I must compliment the beautiful women in this orchestra. Wow! So many stunning women here, and so talented
Great harpists.
At 62 I have been listening to Wagner for 57 years (that I can clearly remember) and still it gives me shiver every time.
I played this last night while having a relaxing much needed spa night. I used an under eye mask, lit a candle and turned off the lights. It was heavenly.
I really don't know what it is but for me Wagner has something so profound and deep that absolute touches my soul in the most natural way imaginable. Its like he somehow made the mystics of the old spirits of the dark woods and high mountains visible
Wagner was a genius at tapping into the primordial spirit within us all.
@@ScrewFlanders Not to mention the supernatural. Elsa's Procession, e.g.
It reaches into the depths of the soul.
Imagine Wagner scoring the Lord of the Rings. On the other hand, we have beautiful music in that, too.
As a new classical music listener, he has a sense of imagination and amazing progressions /transitions that I’ve never ever experienced before.
The soloist on the French Horn is absolutely brilliant. She makes it sound as though there’s a god mustering his angels, and the sound elevates the listener to a heavenly realm. This is a breathtaking performance from masterful musicians, led by a superb conductor.
And composed by an absolutely incredible mind! People today have no idea how hugely popular and acclaimed Wagner was. As it should be.
@@harryhagan5937 Perhaps Wagner is not well known, and his music not frequently performed at American classical concerts due to his being shunned for extreme anit-semitism.
@@lcam1665 Oh? What's a good example of that?
Прекрасная музыка, замечательное исполнение!!!! Браво!!!!
Лучше всего играете в бахмуте
This is such a magnificent piece! I listen to it over and over again.
Einfach nur wunderbar Es ist eine Freude den Musikern beim Spielen zuzusehen Die Musik von Richard Wagner ist ohne Zweifel einzigartig schön.Den ganzen Ring mit fast 16 Stunden auf eine reichliche Stunde "zusammen zu drücken" und die Höhepunkte am laufenden Band zu spielen ist ein Meisterwerk des Bearbeiters Großartig!!!Drei Daumen hoch
Sie sagen es. Und schön, auf dieser Seite auch mal einen deutschen Kommentar zu lesen. MfG.
What awesome talent Wagner had to be able to express the essence of the ´´ northern spirit ´´ so that so many of us mere mortals from all round the world can experience it for ourselves. Congratulations too to the R.F.K. for their marvellous rendition of the maestro´s work.
i agree whole heartedly
The clarity, the full rounded tone, the strings in unison, the melodic magnificence of woodwind ..such gorgeous sound coming together... you feel the development of the orchestra before it happens. This is really wonderful.
Kun je je voorstellen dat het Wagner 21 jaar! heeft gekost dit meesterwerk te schrijven. Van 1853 tot 1874. Onvoorstelbaar. Maar een prachtig stuk.
Handla Handla
Умаю он ни чего ни писал , а скорее всего расшифровывал ноты погибшей античной цивилизации, но это ни как не приуменшает его труда и таланта.

Eigentlich eine Wohltat, dieser entschlackte Ring! Sein wohl Wertvollstes ist herausgeschält, befreit von endlosen Längen, ohne Stimmen, ohne unverständliche Texte, und vor allem ohne Inszenierungen, die uns von sich in den Vordergrund schiebenden Regisseuren zugemutet werden.
Da ist was Wahres dran. Oftmals ist der Ring zur Selbstschau verkommen, insbesondere und ausgerechnet auch bei den Festspielen. Das sieht man auch insbesondere an der aktuellen Besetzung, die sich nach jedem Abschnitt erstmal feiern lässt und das Publikum klatscht mit. Ich bin mir sicher, Wager himself hätte alles Stargetue von heute vehement abgelegt.
今まで聴いていたリングは忍耐でしたが、これは気球に乗って眼下を見下ろしている様です。画質も音質も演奏も素晴らしいです。
A fantastic performance and an excellent arrangement. This music represents one of the pinnacles of Western culture and this was shown here. Thanks for posting!
Thats right
When I think my work sucks I watch an orchestra, such a pressure they have, I would die before starting if I were one of them! One false note and you are done. Amazing professionals, really!
Not true. An essential part of being a competent classical musician is being able to fake music that you can't quite master and blend into the orchestra without drawing attention to your mistakes. Chamber and solo music is much less forgiving because you're exposed, but even then, if you have a solid grasp of harmony and improvisation, you can often make a mistake sound natural. As for the music itself, I prefer Maazel's arrangement but this version is still pretty good (and either is better than the *fifteen goddamn hours* the full Ring cycle takes).
Siegfried's Rhine Journey is the BEST musical interlude in the entire 15 hours of the Ring. I close my eyes and let it wash over me cleansing my soul and I forget my troubles.
The interminable, inexorable buildup. The crescendo till the burst of Power! The Great Wagner! And what an orchestra. Beautiful musicians, immersed in the intoxicating transcendence of Wagnarian music. And the conductor: so restrained - no theatrics nor over the top antics - buttoned up! Bravo! Het Radio Filharmonisch Orkest. We all owe you a debt of gratitude.
Crescendo of coughing you mean.
Wagner, imprescindible. El Cantar de los Nibelungos, una epopeya, drama universal!!!
I can't believe the director of the video didn't focus on the French Horn soloist for the best part of her solo. I would have focused on her during the entirety of it. She played it marvelously and having played the horn many decades ago I certainly appreciate her artistry.
Ausgezeichnet !!!!!!!
I've been watching/listening to this almost every day. Art will save humanity, few will last, though.
Art is merely an expression of human emotion. Humanity's redemption lies in capacity of God to redirect Man's suicidal nature. The Messiah alone has accomplished that remarkable feat.
me encanta mirar las caras que ponen los músicos: los ojos determinados, las arrugas en la frente, los labios fruncidos, las cejas arqueadas, todo funcionando como una extensión concentrada del instrumento, apretándose y soltándose según lo dicte la partitura. O los que tocan con sus pulmones, como miran con pánico a veces al director cuando tienen que mantener cierta nota. Que bello despliegue humano.
Muy hermosos tus comentarios! Te saludo cordialmente desde Toluca, Estado de México, México.
Nur ein Wort: Phantastisch.
22:47 Best French horn solo I've ever heard! Nice!
What a brilliant display of the beauty and power of a top notch orchestra.....every section, I so enjoyed it all. French Horns.......WOW! Great performance everyone! Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful performance.
This is the best intro I've heard in my entire life and only Wagner knows how to do it.
There are thousands of brilliantly composed openings to orchestral works... this is merely one of them.
Это очень круто!!!
Es magnifico estos compositores alemanes son de otra era

Maravillosa orquesta
Fabulous orchestra, women excelled utterly and I loved to see it, the flutist to the right took my heart, very beautiful woman, but who notices these things nowadays?. Horn player with Siegfried call took my breath away, she is wonderful, and brought to mind Dennis Brain, known to me by old recordings.
Thank you for these talented musicians god. From Venezuela.
Magnificent! Wonderful performance! Love the arrangement! This is one I'll listen to again and again and again. So rewarding! Thank you all so much. Every one of you involved here.
This really is fantastic. Incredible work done by masters of their craft. Young people should be exposed to this as often as possible. Parents: get your children to your nearest live performance. Watching a symphony will open their mind!
My kids played the Green Army men game on PC. It had Grieg's Peer Gynt. The boys loved it.
Being a musical illiterate and talent limited to playing the radio, I don’t understand how orchestral arrangements like this are even brought together. Are the various section musicians following only their sheets? Do their sheets have ALL of the other sections’ notes etc? How the hell do they do it? How do 20 string players produce a single sound so perfectly timed and tuned? You’d think a wayward horn would poke out of line once in a while? Thinking how complicated running a top performing NFL offensive squad of 11 men can be and how many things can go wrong on every single play, I can’t imagine how an orchestra like this gets through 60 minute + pieces so flawlessly? Maybe my ears aren’t attuned to mistakes? Do others hear mediocrity where I hear such beauty?
@@frankreedy6437 The trick is practice... Sure, any given orchestra may have not practiced the piece off-stage - but these musicians have. They have ascended the peaks of musical prowess to such a degree that you could give them the most difficult piece of music for their instrument, and they could, on the first try, play it perfectly off the sheet. I'm not very good at piano, and I can't sight read, but I can still play a 3-minute piece to near perfection at full tempo after about a week. This also includes *tempo*; i.e. they will know how fast to play something down to the thousandth of a second. More likely than not. Due to their ridiculous skill in these two regards - precision and tempo - you can pretty much start them off together and they will play through to the very end. Heck, if they get confused on the tempo, all they have to do is to look at the conductor, whose baton is waving with the same atomic-clock precision of a drummer in a band. On top of all this, if someone, somehow, makes a minor mistake, they know how the piece (and their part in it in particular) should sound, so they recognize their error and gets back on track. Even if they managed to make a mistake, especially in a Wagnerian piece like this, their mistake might just get covered up by the sheer weight of all the instruments. I hope that helps :-) P.S. In comparison with a football play (something which I correspondingly know nothing about), musicians have an easy time of it. The bass drummer isn't trying to tackle anyone from the string section, that is. Speaking of orchestras and sports - I reckon you'll like this :D kzhead.info/sun/gN6Rn7qnaGimh58/bejne.html
@@frankreedy6437 That's why there's a conductor. All the musicians only follow their own parts but the conductor has the parts of the entire orchestra written on his sheets. They're all on time because the conductor guides them with his hands. After spending a lot of time rehearsing or listening to the piece, you know when the musicians from different sections play their parts, so that helps, but you don't need to worry about it too much.
To buy tickets for 2 adults and 2 children you spend more than 1000 Euros even you have the chance to get some! Not cheap to get your kids well educated ❤
Love Siegfried’s horn call. My first year of college my parents were living in the Texas Hill Country. I was still an accomplished horn player (played Strauss Horn Concerto 1 at state solo contest as a HS senior and my father was among other things former first horn at Austin Symphony). I loved playing The Call out in the woods, and would do so till my lips were blown. There is no stage that equals it! But I still wasn’t as good as this lady. Brava!
When I worked at Durham Cathedral in the 1960's and was associated with the university, I used to attend Uni music do's when the student orchestra warming up beforehand would launch into impromptu performances of bits of this and that, such as Eine Kleine etc and always the horn player would let fly with Siegfried's call molto fortissimo as well as the horn intro to Richard Strauss' Til Eulenspiegel Great fun.
such a good thing for composers of movie music that 99% of people do not listen to classical music. that way they can steal as much as they want and their audience never notices :)
totally agree
Must say, im glad that despite the mediocrity of entertainment today that "composers" still are brave enough to strive to evoke the feeling, power, imagination, grandeur, and pathos of the past greats. With out hope for acomplishment we are truly lost.
@Tom Bombadil Indeed...
I wouldnt call it a "good thing" but yes your point is well-taken!
So true Harry! 🤣🤣🤣
Musique sublime et majestueuse. L'âme s'extasie dans ces phrases musicaux qui s'élèvent à Walhalla. Wagner, comme un grand peintre, représente dans les voix sonores des instruments de l'orchestre toutes les nuances, teints et subtilités auxquels la chair succombe et s'y soumettre. Seul un élu des Muses et achevé maître peut créer et concevoir un chef-d'oeuvre de cette catégorie.
'Gotta love Wagner! Also the visual aesthetics of the performance, amazing. Truly speechless.
The talent, intensity and professionalism of fine these musicians is so outstanding! Thank you and God bless!
Clearly brilliant and radiant beyond words. Finally, as this extraordinary phenomenon evolves, all that are most directly involved fully unify and spiritually manifest as a single sparkling organism. They wholly confluence as if their lives depend upon it and, moreover, as if all of our lives depend upon it which, in fact, they do…OMG!
Listening to Wagner while working on some excel sheets gives you a large disconnect since the soundtrack implies that you achieve grand heroistic tasks, while all you actually do is some office work stuff. Nevertheless, good reinforcement^^
The great and mighty heroism of a functional Excel spreadsheet. Well done! Your glorious accomplishments will live in mankind's memory for many aeons!
@@graeme011 That's the spirit!
uhhhh..ok then. Keep up the good work. Try not to catch cancer from you boring job.
i agree if you expand your remarks to cleaning the garage, doing the dishes, paying the bills, and other tasks. nothing ashamed in that. the real essence is the intellectual comprehension of the this magnificent work of music, not the associated activity. if only i could play the cello in this orchestra!
get off those sheets and onto life's battle grounds!!!
Excellent music, fan from America.
The best interpretation of this score that you could possibly find on Earth. I have listened to this at least 20 times and never loses its charm
na is not
I must unfortunately disagree.
I actually prefer this arrangement to the Maazel one...
It’s very very good, …maybe the percussion could be more rhythmic, probably just me.
About one hour and ten minutes of pure beauty.
Ah Wagner, the greatest composer of dramatic music in history.Those musical worlds of fantasy, epic adventures, myths, from the smell and sense of seas, jungles and mountains to the 16th century Nunernburg are unmatched!And now just 1 hour of his powerful and majestic music won't be enough for me.I adore all of his Works from Der Ring to Parsifal, though this performance is magnificant
The guy with beard, made a boat from wood he cut down..it took him 5 years, and in his spare time in the evening he learning to play the thing he is playing, true story.
The reddish blonde guy? Clarinet player? With glasses? He’s hot😍
One of my favorite composers, the quintessential power in music ! Pure German Romanticism!
Trully rocker!
WOW!!! Grande Música, Excelente Orquestra, Belíssima Apresentação ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Las composiciones de Wagner son extraordinarias, especialmente El Anillo de los Nibelungos, excelente interpretación.
Unbelievable masterpiece. Wagner genius
Judith Rivera >>> Don’t forget, this piece is just a medley of musical highlights. The “proper” Ring lasts about 16 hours from beginning to end. And is even better than this filleted version!

Można tej cudownej muzyki słuchać bez końca, instrumentacja i wykonanie znakomite. Wagner, gdyby żył, też byłby zachwycony.
Richard Wagner może powiedziałby: Lepiej grają niż za moich czasów.
If there is something like a "northern spirit" of the deep woods and mountains from the past before Christianity came to us... Wagner captured it. the pure nature
This is true

I used to listen to this while driving through the rolling hils of Central Wisconsin on my way back to college in the Fall.
Sencillamente HERMOSO, TRASCENDENTE, como TODO lo de R. WAGNER!!!
Ich bin begeistert von soviel Einfallsreichtum, Farbenfreude, Energie und Power, Schönheit, Glücksmomenten und Hormonausschüttungen, Klangschönheit, Harmonie. Danke Richard Wagner, einfach himmlisch, danke de Vlieger, große Leistung, überzeugendes Ergebnis.
sehr gut beschrieben
Absolutely stunning performance that left me,who's been listening to Wagner since 1964, utterly speechless. Thanks a lot for this great arrangement!
Ah! 1965 for me! Before that, Stan Kenton.
This is one of the best performances/recordings I've heard of this piece in the last 50 years. You will NOT be disappointed!
An intriguing arrangement of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen"! As a lover of classical music (orchestral concert music in particular) for nearly 70 years now, I enjoyed this short (about an hour) creative "excerpt" of the Ring cycle and appreciate this performance, having heard the full cycle many times and studied the monumental work for years. To me, this rendition catches the essence of much of the cycle, such as Siegfried's "Death and Funeral March (about 50 minutes into the performance), just to mention one example. I consider the arrangement and the performance a worthy tribute to Wagner's genius (despite his horrible antisemitism). A personal observation: early on, when the (gold) metalwork clanging starts, a few musicians in front of the percussionists were shown covering their ears, apparently to protect their sensitive eardrums. It's hilarious. My beloved Brahms would likely have covered his ears too, though perhaps for additional reasons. I thank all the musicians (the horn section deserves extra credits) and the conductor, as well as the arranger, for this live performance. Highly recommended for all Wagner lovers.
Covering one's ears is often a wise thing to do. I always have a set of ear plugs to hand in the percussion section: high sounds are particularly dangerous...
The way the Rheingold prelude feels like one big inhale before a great speech is amazing.
Ñññññ Ññ
speech??? you mean the rhine daughters teasing Alberich, not such a great speech. It's the river Rhine from darkest depths ...
It's the beginning of the world

How inspiring to see a classical masterpiece being performed live; being able to trace every note its individual instrument. Only then does one appreciate the genius of this masterpiece -- the ensemble makes an effortless, instantly recognizable melody (Ride of the Valkyries). The interplay of the strings, the brass, and the percussion, to achieve the overall effect of grandeur and heroism is genius, pure. Wagner touched the heart of the Teutonic soul here!
The horn player is brilliant and a marvel!!!
From earth's core to heaven's heights, the music delves and soars, reminding us of its range and ability to delight and inspire.

A magnificent... towering monument to the Greatest musical dramatist who ever lived... Richard Wagner.
My father was a second generational sort from Hannover and our family listened to the 3 Bees at the dinner table on holidays and Sundays. I remember when he got a Russian bug and we camped on the steppes but the constant was Wagner and Strauss, no less. If this music can't charge a thrill from brain to spine then one is dead to culture.
Beethoven, Bach and ?Brahms?

@@cmpnstng Yes. That is the traditional meaning of the 3 Bees.
@@cosminrentea I am fond of Bruckner's later opus.
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and the torpor of the sleeping watchmen !
I used to be so reluctant to listen to any "Classical" music, which my father alwats tried to kinda force me to do so. But this is so incredibly awesome. By far my favorite, Wagner master piece.
Tema pensato, riflessioni, meditato, pagina scrittura sublime celestiale meravigliosa.
Possente brano musicale reso maestoso,solenne e dinamico dagli ottoni dai timpani e contrabassi ed elegiaco dai legni , violini e gli altri strumenti a corda,un brano impegnativo per tutta l'Orchestra che il Maestro ha diretto con patronanza,spigliatezza e fulgore !!!
Wagner te agarra como una pluma al viento y te hace volar por todo lado, él pone los vientos y tú solo te dejas llevar, hasta el final donde suave y magistralmente te pone en donde te había sacado.
La tetralogia di Wagner esprime l’assoluto musicale e quanto di meglio esiste nel panorama classico. Mi congratulo con l’orchestra per la splendida interpretazione.
En el principio era el tono: Mis bemoles a la octava en los contrabajos, que se prolongan como un zumbido apenas audible. A los cinco compases, los fagotes añaden un par de Sis bemoles, tres tonos y un semitono más agudos. Juntas, estas notas forman el intervalo de una quinta justa. Al igual que la quinta que brilla con luz trémula al comienzo de la Novena Sinfonía de Beethoven, se trata de una emanación de la naturaleza primigenia: el ruido sordo del cosmos en reposo. A continuación, entran ocho trompas, una detrás de otra, en diseños circulares ascendentes, que se asemejan a la serie armónica natural generada por una cuerda en vibración. Otros instrumentos añaden sus voces, con pulsos que van acelerándose gradualmente. Mientras la masa de sonido se junta, revolotea y se hincha en el aire, la tonalidad subyacente de Mi bemol se mantiene inmutable. Es únicamente después de transcurridos 136 compases -entre cuatro y cinco minutos en el curso de una representación- cuando la armonía cambia, escorándose hacia La bemol. El prolongado estatismo engendra una nueva sensación de tiempo, aunque resulta difícil decir de qué tiempo se trata: quizá un instante que se desplaza a cámara lenta, quizá eones que se mueven de manera indiferenciada. Se trata del preludio de Das Rheingold (El oro del Rin), que es, a su vez, la Vorabend, la víspera o tarde preliminar, del Ring (Anillo). La orquesta representa al río Rin, el depositario del oro mágico a partir del cual puede forjarse un anillo que procura un poder inimaginable.
Herrliche Zusammensetung aller Orchesterteile der Tetralogie. Gratuliere mit erstaunlichem Wunder.

Well Anthony I'm in same category as you. 75 yr old baby boomer. I end up weeping watching this. I am very moved. Use it when I'm on treadmill cause keeps me going for one hour. Wonderful orchestra and conductor. I don't know why first 5 minutes brings me to tears. The irony like Steven Fry I have issues with Wagner (the anti-semite). Also learned this week Johann Sebastian Bach was also same. Can love their music and try and understand their antisemitism (I am not jew but admire them I guess)
Thanks - I am Jewish and I love this. Gotta separate the art from the artist.
