This Sunday we go back to 2009 to our BBC Proms performance of 'Danse Macabre'.
In 1985, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain dreamed of filling the Royal Albert Hall in London with the sound of ukuleles. On Tuesday 18th August 2009, at the BBC Proms, the Ukes attracted a sold-out audience; more than six thousand people, of which over a thousand brought their ukuleles. This performance of Danse Macabre is from this performance.
Musicians:
Dave Suich
Peter Brooke Turner
Hester Goodman
George Hinchliffe
Richie Williams
Kitty Lux
Will Grove-White
Jonty Bankes

Saint-Saëns, Jonathan Creek, Kitty Lux AND the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - - can it get any better at all?! Thank you all for this wonderful performance 💖💖☺️

The UkeleleOrchestra is pure enjoyment - a magical chemistry of great musicianship and humor.

This is definitely one of my favorite pieces of classical music, and it's just SO GOOD with The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain!!!!!

@heatherturner5871 3 года назад

Surely the definitive rendition of Danse Macabre?!

@thomassmith4022 2 года назад

I must say "I was impressed"! I have listened to all types of music in my 76 years on this Earth, but I have rarly been so enraptured as to this peace. I really think that Arthur Godfry just stood up out of his grave and walked just now. Huzzah!

@bobconnor1210 3 года назад

Outstanding! Surely, Saint-Saëns would feel honored. Kudos to whomever wrote the arrangement. Well done,all.

Moving, magnificent mesmerizing Macabre ! Africa thanks you.

@lpsglitterpaws8536 3 года назад

You guys are so legit! You show the world that the ukulele is a real instrument! When I started playing a tenor 5 months ago, I heard comments like “why don’t you learn a real instrument?” It seems to me that poor Uke has been pigeon-holed and associated with Hawaiian music. This is not a restricted to one genre of music and you guys prove it!!! I hope you come out California someday...

@johnmh1000 3 года назад

I initially clicked on this one as an oddity, thinking I'll soon be surfing on. Sorry about that lady and fellows, how wrong can you be? What a masterpiece rendition of this unique piece, full of life (sorry, no pun intended - really) and a wonderful driving melody. I've replayed it four times so far. Thank you.

@johnmh1000 3 года назад

Sorry that should have been Ladies.

@tonywhite5557 3 года назад

I saw them live in Auckland, New Zealand, a long, long time ago. One of the things I still remember (angst).

@brunoboaz7656 2 года назад

The first time I ever heard this tune was when I watched the movie "Tombstone " when it was played in the "Faust" skit during the variety show in the saloon in downtown Tombstone.

@jamespasifull3424 3 года назад

Love it!! 😍😍😍 I'm sure Saint-Saens would be loving it too!! 😲

@mikaelabowen5781 3 года назад

Pure, exquisitely distilled, genius!

@alansturgess1324 3 года назад

Great performance and arrangement - just goes to show that no genre is unsuited to the uke or the The Ukes. Also great to see Kitty in the lineup again. I bet Jonty enjoyed his solo and lead parts in places. Great job. 10/10.

@tomward3656 3 года назад

Fantastic performance. Back to my school days when I first heard that. Brilliant. Thank you.

@terrykinnard5588 2 года назад

I had a music teacher called Mr Stockwell who introduced us to this piece but the Ukes even make it better!

@_runtothehills 3 года назад

Probably the best arrangement of this I’ve ever heard. I thought I was totally Danse Macabre’d out (thanks, Classic FM) but this ... spooky and intense. Top.

@livingladolcevita7318 3 года назад

@karenlynnkennedy6162 3 года назад

You are just fabulous!!! Thank you for proving ukuleles are versatile and can play EVERYTHING!! I LOVE listening to you. I hope our trio in Ecuador can grow as you have done. We, the Kokopelli Moonlighters salute you from Cuenca, Ecuador.

@pondgazer1 3 года назад

That was amazing!! I never realized that the ukulele could sound so beautiful!

@cathybrewer537 Год назад

I grew up learning ukulele and harmony from my dad at our dining room table! Such sweet memories, but you guys take this talent to new heights and we listen at lunchtime for enjoyment and mental stimulation as our brains age somewhat poorly

@lordward879 3 года назад

@howiekeegan8804 3 года назад

@reneelascala5050 3 года назад

Extraordinary. One of your best arrangements-and performances. Danse Macabre is inextricable from “The Graveyard Book” (2008) by Neil Gaiman for many readers🖤

Untill I've watched this clip, when some one said to me: "Ukulele Great Britain." The only thing that came to my mind was : "George Fromby" From now one I won't be so narrow-minded.

@mikeandtriciajohnson7241 3 года назад

I've had the privilege of seeing the Ukulele Orchestra live a few years ago at the Great British Beer Festival and bought a couple of their CD's while there I've been playing a mandolin for nearly 30 years and thought "That looks easy, I'll give it a bash" and bought a second hand 'Bluebird' ukulele for a fiver but for some reason I can't get my head around the ukulele, despite having a book to tell me how and an electronic tuner, I can't tune the bl@#dy thing and while the chords are fairly simple I haven't worked out how to play scales let alone melodies. It certainly isn't a toy and is a "real" instrument, I'm just too stupid to learn it.
