Gustavo Dudamel, Wiener Philharmoniker - Adagio for Strings, Op. 11 

This piece makes me feel so many emotions. I am getting older. I am learning more. I am getting older. I am losing more. I am getting older and time doesn’t stop. Life is so beautiful and so heartbreaking. You cannot have one without the other. This piece encapsulates the “good” and “bad” of emotions.

It was a cold autumn day and I was sat by mother's bed holding her hand in her last moments on this earth when in the background this piece of music came on the radio, I was amazed to see the dark clouds through the window part, and rays of sunshine break through .that is the moment that my mother's soul left us and rose to heaven ❤. She was a true Christian I was not, I am now because I truly believe that this piece of music was heaven sent .we will be together soon mummy ♥

The best performance by far that I’ve ever heard of this piece ❤

All the heavens above and God stopped and listened to this with us...

No es la serenidad que transmite, ni la manera en que habita las partes más heridas del alma hasta sanarlas. Es la manera que tiene de llenar de contenido el silencio mas doloroso por la pérdida de un ser querido lo que hace que la substancia de que esta hecha esta música nos transforme por unos instantes en la propia música. Thank you Mr Barber. Thank you Mr Dudamel por este regalo.

Memories to my father, when we were together and i so much love to listen classic tracks with him. I love you daddy, i miss you every single day...

The composer, Samuel Barber, once said that this piece was the soundtrack to a love afair. While I have loved and taught this piece for years, his description has never made sense to me. This seems a tone poem of loss and heartbreak and mourning.

This is the most beautiful song ever created of all time. How lucky we are to be able to listen to it whenever we want

Amazing. The audience was gifted to be there.

Ich hatte eben die Version eines Laienorchesters gehört und da ist mir wieder einmal deutlich geworden, wie deutlich der Unterschied zu einem professionellen Orchester ist. Ganz egal wie gut diese jungen Musiker waren, es liegen Welten zwischen deren Leistung und dem hier dargebotenen Meisterwerk. Wir dürfen allen Menschen dankbar sein, die so viel Zeit und Liebe in die Perfektionierung dieser Kunst investiert haben, dass wir so etwas himmlisches erleben können.

That pause at 06:21 is like you cannot bear the pain anymore, and then you realize you can, and you must go on.

This piece feels like journeying through a drama full of pain and suffering

Can’t believe no one in the comments knows who Dudamel is! He’s a Venezuelan National Treasure ❤️🇻🇪💙

That pause at 6:30 is full of music. How can silence be so touching?

Increíble y bello adagio del compositor americano Samuel Barber , Expresa dolor , tristeza todo esto en un gran escenario en Viena y con la dirección a cargo de este gran director G Dudamel Que escenario tan bello y que multitud de gente reunida Que maravilla haberlo oido !

Esta pieza hace que vuelva atrás en el tiempo,recorra toda mi vida,pasando de los peores a los mejores momentos que viví,sintiendo paz en la tristeza y en la alegría!

I truly believe that there are people out there that are just helpless. How can anyone give this gift a thumbs down is beyond me.

So beautiful and touching music. Thank you Samuel Barber. Thank you Maestro Dudamel and the Viena Philharmonic Orchestra.

Man the beginning when the basses come in 😍 I don’t know what I would do without music

بحث عن هذه الموسيقى سنين عديدة انا فرح جدا لانني وجدتها. 😊

This musical piece tears me apart inch by inch... And it also fills me in with so much joy...

This music reminds me when Willem Dafoe is running in the jungle, really hurt and trying to scape from Vietnam soldiers, and at the end, raising her hands and looking the sky, and giving her last breath. It's so touching this scene even more with this music😢

When I go out this is the music I’d like to be listening too. Blissfully peaceful...

والدك انسان شجاع قوي صامد بمعنى الكلمه علمك هوايه اشياء بحياتك علمك تواجه مخاوفك بالحياه علمك تكون قوي من جميع نواحي الشخصيه الحياة العالم مريت بظروف صعبه نفسيه ماليه بس نحلت من قبل الله وهذا بسبب أرواحكم النقيه بداخلكم اسمكم مرفوع عالي وهذا بسبب صبركم ونيتكم وصدقكم وتوكلكم على الله

amazing-- and the intensity of the music and his conducting--absolutely the best.

Долго искал этот эпизод концерта, спасибо большое !

It's rare to watch dudamel so calm :)

For my brother, the times of sorrow and grieving affected me and the times together are always remembered.

pleurer, ce n'est pas forcément de tristesse ! me voici à celles qui coulent avec un trop plein de joie, d'éternité .... Merci à l'orchestre et à vous "mon" Maestro Gustavo

An immortal piece, which is rare.

Gift of music itself. Instruments in touch always please don't ever forget this sounding

Sadness, melancholy and heartbreak put to music.

Прекрасная музыка, в ней есть всё, боль и радость, гнев и любовь, падение и подъём

The most sublime piece of classical music, played and conducted wonderfully!

É para ouvir e imaginar-se dentro dos sentimentos do compositor e do regente! Magnífico!!!!!

Intoxicating bass line. Beautiful ❤

Amazing performance ,stunning climax! love Dudamel!

God bless all here !

У меня слёзы и ком в горле. Такие смешанные чувства…

İnsan dinledikçe huzur buluyor. Gözlerini kapatıp bir dağın zirvesinden gün doğumunu izliyorsunuz gibi ❤

Music that speaks to the soul

Mágico... magnífico y grande maestro Dudamel...y ese escenario.... Woow

Wonderful music! Gustavo Maistro is fantastic!

Merci beaucoup de nous faire partager une telle beauté.

Because your musical hand helps worldwide.

Eu fico toda arrepiada!!!!!! É esplêndido!!!!!

So wonderful music! Thank you to share with us!😘

Me arrebata por inteira, o céu está na terra neste momento, incrível Gustavo Dudamel, sou fã!

I want a recording in surround sound from the Conductor’s podium. It must sound so intense and emotional

It's like a cry against the world we.live in 4:49 😢

Just amazing,music included so many emotions

This is deeply dramatic and sincere...it's even painful... It seems the musical background of a dantesque scene in which the unleashed human baseness vilely violate the dignity of the innocent... Or the painful procession of a hero who has decided to immolate himself for a noble ideal...Touching interpretation...Thank you Barber, Dudamel and Wiener Philharmoniker... Bravi!!!

This is just beautiful 🙏🎻❤️

What a beautiful piece!!

Al cerrar los ojos y escuchar esta música es estar en el cielo. Gracias.

I think Gustavo Dudamel's conduction is very popular.

Musica... La Musa infinita dell'arte più bella, nessuna da le emozioni che può donare la musica... Per chi la ascolta e anche per chi la conosce nelle sue note le emozioni sono incredibili... W la musa Euterpe che da le emozioni che nessuno sa dare. Music ... The infinite Muse of the most beautiful art, none of the emotions that music can give ... For those who listen to it and also for those who know it in its notes, the emotions are incredible ... W the Euterpe muse who from the emotions that no one can give.

I wish I was in that audience.

Just beautiful

The Lord blessed Barber with the music that transcends time and place! The music raises the spirt and instills hope for the future! May God bless America!

Linda música nos faz viajar , a great masterpiece gracias maestro Gustavo Dudamel !!

Belíssimo concerto!!! Gostaria de estar lá.

Touched my soul

Magnifique prestation dans un endroit aussi sublime merci

Beautiful interpretation.. 😊😊❤❤

Wonderful,Maravilloso. Gracias.

I stumbled across this piece at a low point in my time and my life and I was transfixed and listened to it over and over thinking ‘fuck, there is still true beauty in this world!’

This is just glorious.

Sou fã incondicional!!!! ❤❤❤

Bravo ragazzo! Molte grazie Maestro Dudamel, è squisito

Hermosa Sinfonía Adagio for strings que gran acierto tuvo OLIVER STONE al incluirla en su obra Maestra PLATOON PELOTON en ESPAÑOL sobre la Guerra de Vietnam la descubrí en 1988 cuando por primera vez vi la película y desde entonces me tiene hechizado hinoptizado conmocionado no puedo siempre que tengo ocasión dejar de escucharla me tiene embelesado GRACIAS ADAGIO

perfecto!!! bellisima interpretacion maestro Gustavo Dudamel

i was doing my home work to this and i completely blacked out cause of this song its TOO Powerful definitely making my future orchestra play this

Это невыразимо прекрасно!

Belíssima canção ♥️

I love this...

L'aspetto melodico pastorale della sua direzione insieme all'aspetto eroico tutto questo è concentrato nell'essere umano e la grande sentita direzione di Gustavo Dudamel ne è intrisa...

I really really really want to go there for a summers night concert!!!! I can feel it in my soul thats how much!!

The composer is Samuel Barber. The conductor is Gustavo Dudamel. One wonders why ViennaPhilVEVO doesn't credit the composer...

😍 conmovida con este poema

ah, me hace llorar de lo hermoso que es

Hermoso....

Wonderfull 🎶🎵🍃♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Oxxyенно..... Потрясающе... Нет нормальных слов.....чтоб выразить

Over the years, I understand that all I want to listen to is when I die

Adoraria ir em um concerto! É meu sonho.

Gustavo Dudamel é o melhor regente de todos os tempos!❤

This familiar masterpiece is comfortable to the ears and the mind My worries will fade away From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
