Customer reviews
review by: Matt, York date: 2007-04-23 rating:Fascinating and disturbing
This dvd ought to be re-titled "Great Conductors of the 3rd Reich conduct the overture to Wagner's Meistersinger" - it is a bit repetative workwise. There are also two snippets from the finale of Beethoven's ninth symphony. If you can get past the limited repertoire, then the short films are fascinating. The sound is extraordinary for the period, and most of the picture quality is fine. Most interesting is a live recording from the stage of the Berlin Opera of Hans Sachs' monologue from the end of Meistersinger with Wilhelm Rode as Sachs. br / br /It is easy with CDs from the period to divorce the political from the artistic, but this dvd brings home the bizarre "marriage" of the ideaology of the period with the arts. An almost obscene image that I will not forget is Gobbels and assorted cohorts placidly watching a performance of Beethoven's 9th with the choir singing "Alle Menschen werdern Bruder" (All men [will] become brothers) - surely the irony could not have been lost, even by them.
