CONAN THE BARBARIAN - UNIVERSAL PICTURES CENTENNIAL CONCERT - FIMUCITÉ 6 

after this performance, the orchestra went out and conquered a small village.

What’s the best in life? To listen to this. Turn up the volume. And hear the lamentations of your neighbours.

Today 40 Anniversary. "He is Conan. Cimmerian. He will not cry. So I cry for him".

never in film history has music and story matched so well as in Conan the Barbarian, which is to be admired for centuries to come

Conan never listend to orchestrah. He is Cimmerian, so I listended for him.

I listened to this with my daughter, two cats and a parrot. I now have a Warrior Princess, two tigers, an eagle and a desire to crush my enemies and see them driven before me!

Just a total masterpiece. Basil is one of the greatest composers of our century.

Basil Poledouris is still much bigger than Hanz Zimmer. Totally underrated and forgotten

"Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis, and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. And onto this, Conan, destined to wear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!"

Basil Poledouris was a musical genius of the highest caliber. This soundtrack was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, brutal and inspiring.

After leaving a comment 7 years ago here i am again excercising to this incredible music...

the hairs on my arms, I've never seen a meastro dance like that 😅, he's a brutal barbarian 😅, the song is an absolute masterpiece, the musicians and singers are awesome, the whole thing is powerful, feel the hyborian age

I played this to my son when he was still developing in Mom’s belly. He was born with hair on his chest.

My seven year old son listened to this last night. He woke up this morning and explained the riddle of steel.

Legend has it the conductor is still out there..conquering..finding his own kingdom...his own queen..

Can I thumbs up this more than once??? This is eternal music. 100 years from now Basil will be recognized as a genius

782 people need to contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.

Listening to this masterpiece on a regular basis will increase your combat skills by 25%.

Music is by far the best invention that the human species has ever created. This is amazing.

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad.

My cat walked into the room,while this was playing. He´s now a Sabertooth Tiger.

Basil Poledouris; "How epic do you want the movie's soundtrack?" Director: "Yes"

I was born in the late 80's, I love metal, grunge, trance, rock, pop, some rap and some r'n'b but it all makes me feel. And this is no exception, this made me genuinely feel alive and introduced me to Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi and the like. I'm not sure if love is the right word but this piece of art made me feel and I love it. Life is beautiful.

The conductor's living his best life in this moment.

Soundtracks are not like this anymore. Imagine sitting in a theater in the 80s and hearing this for the first time. Sends chills down my spine.

Normally I skip directly to the next video when applause starts but not here. They deserve every second of it.

One of the best soundtracks ever recorded. Period.

Vaggelis and Poledouris have created the best film scores by far. Greeks are music geniuses for thousand of years

Crom Laughs at your 466 dislikes

One of the best pieces of art mankind has ever come up with.

Masterpiece... on every level. Straight up chills... for over 30 years.

I played this on top volume and heard the lamentations of my wife. Today was a good day, I crushed my to do list, saw my problems in the past and ....

That conductor looks like he is about to transform into Conan

THIS SONG CURED MY CORONAVIRUS!

I love watching the maestro.. you can FEEL INTENSITY coming just watching him .

This conductor is insane, great energy. Very very cool.

The conductor was feeling it. Deep in the throes of his craft, his passion, his ART!! I respect that 100%.

This is heavier than any heavy metal band today. Basil Poledouris kicks asses.

The energy and passion of the conductor was truly remarkable. He certainly seems to have pulled a stunning performance from the orchestra.

The Conductor is really living it, thanks for it. Epic !

THIS is another reason the remake of Conan failed so miserably. This right here. The Music. GREAT job.

"Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god. Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. - This you can trust."

3:18 - The conductor's expression/singing along, then the shot from behind with his knees... I love the passion!

I picked this up in a record store when I was a teenager, and asked if I could listen to it. The guy behind the counter gave me a sneer, and put it in the player. After he saw how much I was enjoying it he asked if he could listen to it, so I handed him the earphones. He came around in about 0.2 seconds.

The conductor knows the secret of steel his holding in his hand

Twenty years ago I was a guitarist in a metal band and I pitched the idea of a Conan Medley Cover to my bandmates and sadly, they weren't having it. Twenty years later, I still think that would he sick.

This music has stayed with me even after 35 years from watching the movie as a kid. Found it mesmerizing then, find it mesmerizing even now. That's what i call a classic!

You can tell the conductor is a fan.

For no one, no one in this world can you trust Not men, not women, not beasts... This you can trust 👍

I was listening to this loudly on my stereo, my neighbor came over, got on his knees and surrendered to me.

When classical is more metal than metal

I think the time has come to see all Conan Barbarian movies again.

" Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!"

2:31 every time I hear these voices raising up, I can almost feel the lands of Hyboria around me

Amazing!! Takes me back to my childhood every time. This is when movies had amazing soundtracks

Basil Poledouris, one of the greatest composer of our time

When this film was being made, the producer ( who had NO understanding of what the director was going for) wanted the entire soundtrack to be 80s pop music. You can thank the director for standing his ground.

humans can make something so breathtaking and beautiful we need more people like this in the world

A True Masterpiece from the 80's , Warrior For Ever 👽👍🏻🚲💥💨💨💨

Conan never cry, so I cry for him.

I remember playing this soundtrack for a friend in my dorm room in college and he walked out. Needless to say we are no longer friends. Anyone who has no appreciation of this is a loser.

That sopranist gives me goosebumps 😅👏👏❤️

Basileios Poledouris! 🇬🇷🎶 THE BEST OF THE BEST !!!! 💙

Crom smiles down from his mountain. 304 people do not know what is best in life.

We simply do not give musicians of this caliber enough credit. Absolutely phenomenal. Edit: I'm liking my own post.

This is hands down one of my favorite vids on yt. Never take this down.

Simply one of the finest film scores ever written.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a legend. Hearing these sounds i can remember the parts in the movie. The remake is an absolute joke

One of the best movie scores ever written. I watch the movie for the music as much as the film.

One of the best soundtracks. The music really made the movie.

Testosterone boosted by 1000%

Conan, what is best in life? Conan: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!"

I love the passion in this man's movement 😎

So I am using this piece of music at my wedding. I cannot wait to see the expressions of those attending!

"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, and why we died. All that matters is that today, two stood against many. Valor pleases you, so grant me this one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, the HELL with you!"

Brilliant soundtrack, very underrated movie. If you look beyond the campy factors, it's a masterpiece.

Fantastic. I like how before the piece begins the conductor punches to give character to the performance: heroic and energic. The opening motif and the subsequent crescendo of the music are very beautiful, with the explosion of the chorus but also the ending, with that sense of uncertainty... I think this music describes very well the feeling that dwells in our heroes who meet theirs fate of life and death and their emotions. There is courage but also fear of the unknown and when this adventure is over then there will be another.

Like Excalibur, Conan will never be remade to the level of the originals.

My favorite film score ever. A masterpiece as masterful as the film itself.

This conductor is the greatest personal trainer of all time. He just forced me to add 40 lbs to my bench press

movies nowadays dont have such amazing music... goosebumps

After Basil Poledoris died he went before Crom and Crom smiled at him from his mountain because he knew that the composer had answered the riddle of steel. RIP Basil Poledoris.

RIP Basil Poledouris! Also thanks for Robocop!

This is beyond amazing.

the best cover in this years!!!!perfect

Que prazer ouvir essa orquestra que marcou minha infância em pleno 2023 fenomenal, inacreditável que trabalho parabéns a todos.

This video is part of the morning get up and move routine I use every day to help me after s severe injury from a tractor trailer accident... I'll be in chronic pain the rest of my life. I have pain meds but they take about 20 minutes to work....l listen to this song and visualize my injuries and then that I am cimmerian...I don't cry... some one else has a cry for me because I'm up and moving within 7 minutes with this music pain be danged....

The conductor channeled crom himself!

Eso sí es una pieza maestra para la película de Conan. Hoy en día quien tiene música de ese tipo? Nadie...

I swear to god this song is like musical crack, gets you pumped everytime. No matter the mood.

Just incredible. That sounds note for note the same as the album version when I bought the soundtrack on vinyl when the film came out decades ago. What amazing musicians. What a great conductor. He felt every note !

I love how the chonductor ends up breathless, sweaty and the hair messed up, this piece is made of pure power and intensity.

This music /soundtrack outshines any movie ever made.

Ive been listening to this piece or pure art for more then 20 years now. Yesterday, i decided my little boy was finally ready and we both watched the movie together and it was one of the greatests moments i had as a father. He loved it! Also, he now prays to Crom.

Homer would be proud that a Greek wrote such a music. Epic!

Basil Poledouris was a genius.

One of the best soundtracks ever made. Approved by Crom.

God bless... REAL INSTRUMENTALS!!! NO DAMNED SYNTHESIZERS!

I just love how everyone here is clearly having a great time doing this. From the chorus, to the orchestra, to especially the conductor, they're just having FUN! That's what music should be about.

Many thanks for all the outstanding comments. We are very proud and happy of this performance by the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra and the Tenerife Film Choir, conducted by Diego Navarro, the director and founder of Fimucité, who is a film music composer himself!
