    The very best Video performance of Meistersinger - at last on DVD.
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2006*

This production has been around on VHS for years, and I've been wearing out the local library's copy, waiting for the DVD. At last it's available, and it has been well worth the wait.You may be wondering why I consider this to be the best video performance of Meistersinger; after all, there are at least three outstanding productions on DVD.I'll be honest. One purely personal reason is that it was the first production of Meistersinger I ever saw. They say that the first time for anything is always special....But putting that aside, let's consider the production on its merits.Meistersinger is by far Wagner's most light-hearted, humorous, and above all human operas, but it's also his longest. It puts enormous demands on the performers, since in addition to putting Wagnerian demands on their stamina, it also requires them to show the essential humanity of their characters. Everyone in this opera is a human being, with good and bad points, and, importantly, with a depth of character - they can't be played as caricatures. This doesn't always happen.What makes this production special is that every performer: the singers, the conductor, the orchestra, the musical and television directors, and every member of the chorus works together to produce a coherent and warmly human performance.This is a Bayreuth production, directed by Wolfgang Wagner, with television direction by Brian Large. As one might expect, the quality is excellent.Bernd Weikl is a superb Sachs - one might say the definitive Sachs - thoughtful, melancholy, but with a well-developed sense of fun. The director makes an excellent decision in the prelude to act 3, by showing Sachs peacefully reading his book, instead of the traditional Gables of Olde Nurnberg. Very effective.Hermann Prey plays Beckmesser as a right royal pain - a malicious, self-important bureaucrat with a singular lack of scruples. He's still a human being, though. We still care ( a bit) when he receives his just desserts.The chemistry between Sachs and Eva (played by MariAnne Haggander)was palpable, and entirely believable. This is vitally important, if we are to care about both characters. Eva herself was well played - just the right combination of coquettishness and compassion.Siegfied Jerusalem's Walter was perfectly acceptable (although I prefer Heppner's interpretation).Graham Clark brought great energy and enthusiasm to the part of David, which was very evident during the part when David enumerates a seemingly endless list of musical tones and styles. He managed to differentiate each one; many singers don't bother.And talking of endless lists, I suspect I've gone on too long.I'll cut to the chase.An excellent production, meticulously transcribed to DVD. The sound and picture quality is superb, far surpassing the worn-out VHS tape that I've been used to watching. The Surround-sound conversion is convincing without being obtrusive; ambience rather than audience noise.If you love Meistersinger, you must have this performance.Oh yes, I almost forgot. Look for a cameo appearance of  Wolfgang Wagner in the closing seconds of the opera, joining the hands of Sachs and Beckmesser.And now, if you will excuse me, I think I'll watch it again...

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2006*

This is the best recorded performance of Wagner's Die Meistersinger.Here's why:Who is more likely to know Richard Wagner's conception for the opera, than his grandson, Wolfgang Wagner, who is the artistic director of this performance?Next, imagine assembling some of the very best Wagnerian singers of the past quarter-century:  Bernd Weikl as Sachs, Hermann Prey as Beckmesser, and Siegfried Jerusalem as Walter.  They all sing and act inspiringly!The staging, scenery, and costumes are perfect:  it's like you're transported back to the Germany of centuries ago.Richard Wagner was commenting on the rigidity and closedmindedness of the music critics of his day, and the character embodying those critics was Beckmesser, whose role is thus pivotal. Fortunately, this production's Beckmesser (Hermann Prey) is pedantic, sycophantic, officious and tedious--in a word: he's perfect!The opera makes the point that minds must be kept open to new ideas, while still retaining an understanding of what makes "classical" classic.The Johannestag festival music is some of the brightest and happiest, so much so that those who think Wagner is always heavy and ponderous, will scarcely believe their ears.Finally, as icing on the cake, when the song contest is over, and the winner crowned, centerstage in the background, you will see Wolfgang Wagner himself, sort of "patching things up" between Beckmesser and Sachs--it's a wonderful touch by the artistic director, and I can't help but think that Richard Wagner would approve of his grandson's gesture.
