Frank would be overwhelmed to see so many young musicians who were not even born playing his music with such professionalism,well done guys

I’m absolutely blown away by this performance. Ladies and gentlemen of the Berklee orchestra, a beautifully executed undertaking like this gives a senior citizen like me hope for the future of music. I had goosebumps all the way through. Thank you for making my day!

@scruffyboy7123 4 года назад

63 years old now and I’ve loved Zappa since I was 15..to see the young ones doing such brilliant work with his music...tears came ..thank you.

@mr.phister2092 Год назад

I'm a life long, die hard Zappa addict. This had me crying it was so good.I'm taken back. That was incredible.

@larrysplichal3805 7 месяцев назад

How can we spread Frank's music? Zappa is a National Treasure. The above performance is a loving tribute and look how everyone is totally immersed! Tears to my eyes y'all.

@bernardsalvatore1929 5 лет назад

Okay as a Zappa fan since the 70s and having heard just about all of his material these guys are excellent!! If anyone knows how really complex and intricate Zappa's music was, you can really appreciate how great these musicians are right here!!!

@linstobbe1224 5 лет назад

Very good! Nice to see young people playing Zappa's music.

@lmnopotay7433 5 лет назад

I have no words, this was AWESOME.

@0204mg 5 лет назад

Indeed!!!

@g.s.a.5909 5 лет назад

This fills me with joy. Zappa is virtually nonexistent within the mainstream culture, but he will always be discovered by and beloved by those with an open mind and passion for musical composition.

@musicsupervisor 5 лет назад

This actually made me tear up with joy. I saw Zappa when I was nine years old and was raised on his music. The Kids Are Alright.

@acevaptsarov8410 5 лет назад

If by Alright you mean, absolutely Killing it, then, yes, I agree!

@rswhitney8ify 5 лет назад

It has been said that Zappa’s music will be rediscovered in the future that he will be the next Beethoven

@BirdYoumans 5 лет назад

Interesting arrangement of these Zappa classics. Good job! Back in my "secular days" I was known by my nick name of Birdlegs and I met him somewhere about 1972 or 73 at a club where my band was performing in Atlanta Ga. We finished our set and went back to the dressing room when much to my surprise he walked in, introduced himself as if that was needed and we proceeded to talk for the better part of an hour. In late 1974, Tom Fowler, his bassist at the time, broke his finger in the middle of that tour and I was called to fill in while Tom's finger healed. We recorded at Caribou Ranch studio near Nederland Colorado during that time and several of those tracks were put on later albums of his. What an honor to have had that experience with one of the great composers of our time!

Full marks to Riccardo Niar Belletti for the incredible arrangement, and to the whole ensemble for their fantastic execution. This sure ain't no slime on the video!

Fuck, yeah! The arrangement is stunning. The musicality is superb. The singers voice is sweet liquor. And the scat was the cherry on top. I’ve never heard anything better. Bravo.

Zappa’s music is not dead, it just smells funny.

@albertogozzini 5 лет назад

Frank Zappa is one of the best composers of all times and the best composer that United States ever had.

@curvball12 5 лет назад

From the first "Mother's of Invention" to Berklee Performance Majors to a composer that will be studied for centuries ... One incredible ride Mr. Zappa! Thank you. And didn't the kids serve him up well 🙌

@twwtjohns Год назад

Every single note of that was extraordinary and Frank Zappa would have been thoroughly impressed.

@markd1810 5 лет назад

huge fan of Frank for 40 years and i am standing at my computer giving you a standing ovation! Bravo!

@DaveyL1954 Год назад

My fellow musicians. This is wonderful to see happening in a music college. You are playing one of the 20th century's greatest composer who is AMERICAN! Bravo. The arrangement is glorious. The musicianship skills here are of the highest callibre and definitely needed to be able to play Frank's work. 20 out of 10 for this. Well done fellas. All of you. I wish I could have done this in my music college when I was 19, in 1974. That's centuries ago. Well done to you. Dave in Yorkshire, England

@simonlatham552 Год назад

It's not just the musicianship, which is fabulous, it's the obvious glee of the players - encore!!!

@davidcox1951 5 лет назад

I bet Dweezel would be proud that the Berklee School of Music chose to honor Frank like this. For a large orchestra this is very well written, particularly the transition from Inca Roads to Peaches en Regalia. A lot of work went into this. I hope someone got a A.

@Zappafantrust 5 лет назад

Nice Zappa tribute, Berklee, I'm impressed! And I like the playing style of the blonde guitar player, never seen anybody using the tapping technique this way

@miket1783-j5j Год назад

45 years of listening to all things Zappa and I'm still impressed by what people can do with music. These musicians are a pleasure to watch and listen to. Every one of them is a credit to themselves, the college and Frank. Thank you, all of you, for this.

@TheWhippinpost 5 лет назад

I'm glad I'm alone so no one can see me blubbering like a baby. Superb. I hope you all enjoyed learning and performing them. And props to the sound guys too.

@bp6639 5 лет назад

Wow Frank would love it. Hearing his music living and breathing, becoming its own entity. His music will be played for hundreds of years with twists and turns of interpretation. The musicianship and arrangements on the performance are astounding. As to the question about the Zappa family taking it down. Surely not, that sort of legal clowning would go against everything he believed in. Sure Frank, quite rightly protected himself against sharks and users when he was alive. But now he is dead he would want his music to be performed and enjoyed as widely and freely as possible.

@bundr 3 года назад

Holy shit that gave me goosebumps 100% all through the video. What an amazing arrangement, execution, production. And it was even uploaded on my birthday!! This is as close to perfection as it gets.

@johnbidochka2795 5 лет назад

Twenty-five+ years after Zappa's death, it's amazing to hear his music being done such justice, and by such talented young people. I wish the composer himself could have witnessed this.

@loganradd2 5 лет назад

Zappa was genius. This performance by all these talented folks was genius in collective performance. One of the best I have seen in a long time. Berklee should be very proud.

@philipsenger3365 Год назад

Wow, I am smiling from ear to ear. Came aross this by accident and was really impressed. Its GREAT to see students playing music from the Master Frank Zappa. Great playing and Kudos to the arranger who put this piece together. Impressed!!! Keep his music ALIVE!!!

@lmp9726 5 лет назад

Much more tasteful than that Ahmet production " bizarre world of Frank"......Frank would be proud! Why can't I just keep hitting the like button until my finger falls off!

@sheldoncooper8199 5 лет назад

My God i got these great goosebums feelings during the Peaches en Regalia section. Dweezil Zappa should watch this and hire some of the musicians

@horstbaur7797 5 лет назад

Great googly moogly! Say what? Take a bow, everybody involved in this, because this is absolutely outstanding and nothing short of brilliant. Wow!

@rern2226 3 года назад

What an utterly uplifting experience watching this. So happy that FZ’s astonishing compositions are still being treated with such love by such amazing young musicians. Totally made my day!

@agghjjhgdhvfgjngggh2381 5 лет назад

@williamlowe7718 5 лет назад

61 people just dont get it... That was absolutely fantastic!!! Frank would be beside himself as the conductor he was...flawless execution!

@Kitsua 4 года назад

This is next-level good. Just incredibly well done, from the arrangement, to the performances to the production quality. I’m actually gobsmacked, this is legitimately one of the best performances of Frank’s music I’ve ever experienced. Exemplary.

@LawrieFamily 5 лет назад

Fantastic! Zappa was one of the best composers/ musicians the world has EVER produced. To see such young varsity musicians joyfully reproducing his music brought a tear to my eye.

@albertofrutos5220 Год назад

Sonido perfecto! Muy bien las partituras, estos niños son el futuro..!

@mikevo3974 2 года назад

I was fortunate enough to have seen Frank Zappa eight times. It's wonderful to see these young folks keeping his music alive. Thank you ! "The present day composer refuses to die" --Edgar Varèse

@terry10tnj Год назад

Crazy to think that a lot of these musicians weren’t even born when Zappa died and here they are flawlessly performing his work. Frank would have LOVED it.

@krnewman 5 лет назад

I lived long enough to have seen this live at UMBC in 74 and now see this. Cool. Respect and love is a great way to do things. Love to you all, and big respect. Dang, it's catching. Keep it up. All our love, will it save the world?

@chrisdenning3755 4 года назад

I've been a Zappa fan for the best part of 50 years. This reduced me to tears. Young people playing his music so well, most of them children when he died - absolutely marvelous. I always said Zappa would be considered a classical musician at some point - he's now had a slot at the London Proms, several serious orchestras have covered his music, and rightly so.

@cw8537 Год назад

The amount of talent in that one room is disgusting

@flowerpunkchip 9 месяцев назад

My dad has been put in a home, war in the middle east, suffering, genocide and a great journalist named Assange in jail for publishing the truth. Life is depressing and then you kids do the perfect arrangement of the genius of Zappa. Thank you so much for your love of music and that amazing energy. Thank you from London. MUSIC IS THE BEST xxx

@richardpinto521 4 года назад

As a 50 year fan of FZ, this video completely blew me away. Truly an astounding performance by these amazing young people, incredible arrangement, and FINALLY with a video and audio production quality worthy of the great Berklee College of Music!

@rayrecordings Год назад

By far and away the best Zappa tribute orchestra. Impeccable arrangement and recording too.

@squeakeththewheel 5 лет назад

Excellent. With performances like this spreading the word, Zappa compositions will still be performed 100 years from now. The new classical music.

@lmnop1022 Год назад

Riccardo Niar Belletti is obviously very talented. These tunes are challenging to transcribe, let alone arrange for such a large group of players. Hats off to you, and to the very capable musicians.

@thegreenmanalishiyamadori371 5 лет назад

THIS brought tears in my eyes 😭😭😭

@SpocksBro 5 лет назад

Inca Roads is one of my favorite Zappa songs. Especially the vocal part formerly sung by George Duke. You guys did a great job. What got me the most though were the lead and backing vocalists while performing Inca Roads. I had to listen to that part about a million times.

@zolarczakl3880 5 лет назад

If any of you musicians are reading this, can you tell me if playing Zappa's music gives you more pleasure and challenge than a lot of other music you're tasked with? I see a lot of smiles on your faces. I'd love to hear what you think of playing this iconic composer's music.
