Morricone conducts Morricone: The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe) 

This is what I think heaven must sound like.

I'm an oboist who played this piece in her mom's funeral. My heart will never be the same again.

My wife was singing in the choir during that performance. It was a treat which she remembers till today!

If this is not played at my funeral I refuse to attend.

One of the most beautifully evocative pieces of music I have ever heard in my 87 years on this planet

It only takes time for people to recognize that Morricone is on the same level as Mozart, Bach, Beethoven etc. Thank God I saw him alive in concert.

Before John Williams, Hans Zimmer, James Horner.....We had Ennio Morricone. Underrated by Hollywood... Absolute Maestro of fine music, very moving and emotional.

This must be what Heaven must sound like! RIP Maestro Morricone!

Three weeks ago my dad passed away. My heart is in pieces. Maybe in heaven he was received by Jesus with this song. I like to think so. If you believe, please make a prayer for him. His name is José Evaristo Sobrinho. From Brazil.

One day people will understand how brilliant Morricone really was, and this is definitely one of his best pieces ever written.

ENNIO MORICONE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST COMPOSERS OF ALL TIMES.THANK YOU FOR THAT

How can human beings produce something as beautiful as this yet still be so brutal to each other

How lucky we are on RU-vid to see and hear such magnificence

How can a human being compose such a beauty? It goes beyond understanding. Eternal respect to the memory of a musical giant who is missed profoundly by all lovers of his majestuous musical talent. Eternal respect to the Maestro Ennio Morricone.

Glory be to the Father,and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. So beautiful

God composed this music. He chose Ennio Morricone to deliver it...

My wife Virginia passed away on Aug 5th, she loved this song so at her funeral the priest played if on the churches loud speaker system. The whole 8.59 minutes.

This music is a perfect example of how something so very beautiful can make you cry.

If you are listening to this then you are in heaven.

Capolavoro assoluto,insuperabile,eterno ❤

I've listened to this dozens of times. It moves my heart and sometimes it makes me cry. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.

오보이스트 곽연희님. 정말 그 어떤 연주보다 아름다운 연주입니다. 감사합니다.

Sometimes we're so engrossed in the film we don't appreciate these absolutely wonderful musicians

This must be heaven! Thank you ennio morricone for this masterpiece of art!

I have to say that I rank Gabriels Oboe as one of the most beautiful songs EVER composed and this recording is just perfect.

The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe) is the most beautiful melody that penetrates the soul. I am still very sad that Morricone has passed away during this pandemic. His noble music makes us remember the power of love and music. The world may not return to what it used to be. But wherever we are, our souls are tied solidly. Let's live together in the same time without forgetting “love”! With love from Japan.

by far... one of the prettiest works of art i have ever seen. as a homeless man.. living and working out of my car on the mountain... i would drive down to get a shower at 3 am in a gym.. and listen to this song... on the way down to town... .. knowing my work for God, country, and self preservation lay ahead. The Song reminds me of the sunrise.... hope, righteousness, ... hope for true dignity. the version i listened to then.. was with Yo Yo Ma ... i will never forget those mornings....

This entire score was one of the greatest musical achievements of all time.

"Gabriel's Oboe" theme is one of the most (if not the most itself) heart-melting, soul-breaking and chills-giving melodies and musical compositions that have ever been created. Every time I listen to it I have a mix of feelings: tears fight to roll out of my eyes while I realize the incomensurable power that humans do own to create beauty and, at the same time, to destroy beauty. Just for this masterpiece alone, Ennio Morricone deserves eternal recognition.

It's amazing that a human could have created something so beautiful.

Sublime. Morricone immenso. Non ci sono parole per descrivere questa musica. Occorre solo spalancare le orecchie e chiudere gli occhi. Grazie maestro.

The choir starting at 5:35 touches heaven.

We are expecting our first baby and we listen to this song every day. If she can hear something from the womb, we want her discovering the beauty of life with this heavenly music. Thank you, Morricone.

this sound is a legend. It should have won the 1987 Oscar for Best Original Score

Ennio Morricone Is my favorite composer of all time. Nobody, other than Mozart, Beethoven and Bach even come close. ❤

We walked my father's casket out of the Church to this instrumental. So beautiful and one of his favourite. Love you always, Dad. May your soul rest in peace.

In ogni città, paese, villaggio, borgo, ci dovrebbe essere una strada, una piazza, un vicolo intitolato al nostro grande, unico, ETERNO maestro ENNIO

I can't imagine life without this piece of music...grazie Ennio!

Una de las más grandes injusticias de la historia de los"Oscar"es no haberle concedido el premio a esta obra maestra. Dios tenga en su gloria al maestro Ennio.

The angels sing with this composition

This oboe performance is pristine and ranks among the best ever performed of this Morricone classic. It's amazing how a gifted concert musician can rise to the solo moment, soar among the ether, and then slip quietly unnoticed back into the full orchestra.

I saw the movie in 1987, and was totally blown over by it. The force of the actors and the story. And that music! What a gift to a broken world.

For me this is one OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL pieces of film music ever ... Thank you Ennio Morricone for this ....

Buenas. Se lo dedico a mi madre fallecida el 25 de octubre de 2001. Gracias por todo.

This sounds like angels... I called my son Gabriel. And I listened to this song while pregnant, and later when he was born, and when he was 1y old, he asked me to play it over and over again, like he remembered when I listened it when he was in utero. It's almost mystical.

God needed a composer and got the best. People like Maestro never die, they live with their music forever . Thank you Maestro for your heavenly music.

Morricone un genio della musica! i film senza le sue colonne sonore non avrebbero avuto lo stesso successo.

Spotify has several beautiful renditions of this piece but I always return to this specific performance. The addition of the choir brings me to tears and touches my soul. Bravo! Bravo!

Genio indiscutibile...Ennio Morricone, il nostro orgoglio di essere italiani, Grazie Maestro R.I.P.

Can you imagine the feelings of honour and pride being chosen to play in his orchestra or/and choir ?

He was the Mozart of our time

There are no words to describe the love that I have for this masterpiece, I feel an explosive mix of feelings when I hear it, I feel levitate and flew through the clouds, and from there I can reach back to the past, in my past, and I can see that in some of the most beautiful and important moments of my life, this unequaled soundtrack was always there... I've heard this music over and over, unending times, in moments of passion and love, on my wedding ceremony, when I was blessed by the birth of my two beloved sons, even when my son learned how to play flute, he offered me the privilege to play it for his dad. This sublime music gave a meaning to my existence, filling my life with love, joy and tears, yes, I always feel my eyes wet when I remember that this masterpiece certainly it was composed in the heaven, because everyone can feel it a divine presence. If one day someone reaches to the paradise, I am sure it will be received for this music. Thank you so much Ennio Morricone for having allowed the mortals to feel this unique moment, when they are still on this planet.

Morricone, - the only composer who can fill my soul and break my heart at the same time......tears ...

Ennio Morricone, un genio assoluto: il Michelangelo e il Leonardo della musica moderna. Come loro ha dipinto quadri ed opere immortali ❤️🇮🇹

Onore al nostro grande maestro ennio moricone

Maestro Ennio Morricone's greatness consisted of humility, a little shyness, immense talent and abysmal determination. We have to thank him for taking us to unexplored lands of Music and Imagination every time we listened to his compositions. Grazie Ennio ♥.

Sad that it’s nearly three years ago Morricone passed away but his haunting music will live on.

The oboe solo is sublime, but I would also like to point out the perfect and spirited flute solo. The whole piece is astounding and straight out of heaven.

Drown in this music: So beautiful... a gift from God... Long live Ennio Morricone...

This is the single greatest piece of music ever written.

I just discovered this piece of music and its musicians. How can - we as humans - not embrace such wonderful sounds. This piece of music is soul searching - makes one want to shed tears.

My dad loved the film The Mission. Because of that, I got introduced to this magical piece. I've been listening to it since. He passed away about a month ago as I am writing this. Love you Pap. This one is for you

Oh that the movie was nearly as good as the score! Mooricone is a modern genius. ❤

sempre anche se ascolto 1000 volte questa musica, ho i brividi e le lacrime mi salgono agli occhi. Perché? Che corde del cuore sei riuscito a toccare maestro? Hai visto il cielo e hai ricreato la sua musica.

My ears really can’t believe what they are listening to,this is without doubt the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard,

The comments on this video are as uplifting as the music. Even the ones in a language I don't understand. The power of music.

Just one of the greatest scores of all time. RIP Ennio, magical ,aestro.

It makes me cry right now. This music is beautiful, profound, and sad

この女性オーボエ奏者の演奏はこれまで聴いた誰よりも繊細さと抑揚が秀でていて素晴らしいの一言に尽きる。

The best composer of our time. One of the best of ALL time.

si, sicuramente uno dei più bei pezzi di musica scritti nella storia dell'umanità. Morricone ha scritto molti pezzi memorabili, ma questo è veramente una scala di luce verso il Cielo

Ennio was one of the greatest composers ever.

Dio ha dato all' Italia tanti tanti doni e genialità e meraviglie. Eccone uno su tutti. La poesia musicata del maestro Ennio Morricone ❤️✨🙏

I hope that before he died, Ennio realised the incredible gift he gave us with his music. Poetry of the soul.

This summer I was lucky enough to be able to go to Iguassu, I took this recording on my mobile and being able to be alone at one of the viewpoints of the falls, listening to this music is one of the moments I will remember as long as I live

Tears are flowing 🙏🏿 this is beyond beautiful.

If this music doesn't stir you or touch your heart, you don't have a soul. Rest in Paradise Maestro. 🙏

Ennio Morricone said that sometimes ideas for music came to him in his dreams which is why he always slept with a notepad and a pencil by his bed. This truly is music of dreams. Heavenly dreams. I have no words. Even after 30 years ( since I heard it for the first time), it still brings on elation and tears. Every time, without a fail.

A composer written down in history

This piece of music is the reason why I became and oboist!

This was our wedding's theme. It was the most beautiful wedding ever. I'm in tears remembering it.

The most gorgeous oboe solo i have ever heard. It is one of my favorite instruments, and this soloist is stunning. Tears came streaming at her beautiful playing. The maestro must have chosen her specially for this. Beautiful 💐✨🕊️

The organist began to play at my father's funeral. I began to cry at the beauty of the piece!! I listen to it often and cry. Soooo beautiful!!

Yeon-Hee Kwak literally sings the most tender and beautiful rendering of Gabriel's Oboe I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of them. She brings everything to it. Every note, every phrase sounds as from the heart of the composer.

지상이 아닌 하늘의 천국을 느낍니다....감사합니다..하느님~~~

Every time I listen to these celestial notes, a tear comes down my ❣️❣️❣️

❤❤I'm 12 years old I have to play this song on the piano in the orchestra this year and I'm very happy because I'm starting to love it... this is the definition of harmonious music for me❤❤

Sono orgoglioso di essere italiano grazie mille Ennio. Adesso suona per mia mamma che è in cielo

la musica più bella mai realizzata da un uomo....

Il più grande di tutti i maestri!!! grazie di tutte le emozioni che mi hai dato!!!

I agree that this is the best piece of music ever written.

Thank Almighty God for senting Morricone to this world! Eternal movie Eternal music Eternal music composer !

Ennio Morricone patrimonio mondiale dell'umanità!

Che magia, MONUMENTALE , grazie Ennio 🇮🇹

This is the most Beautiful ❤️😍 Film Score ever!- Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and GSU

È incredibile come questa musica ti faccia scendere le lacrime come al tempo stesso ti riempia il cuore di felicità. È sconvolgente.

Stunning music! If I were dying and on my way to Heaven I imagine this is what it would sound like.

Grande orchestra e soprattutto un geniale e Grande Maestro Morricone. Meraviglioso. Grazie.

Come non hanno potuto dare un Oscar a questo capolavoro!? 🖤

È stata dedicata a mia madre il giorno delle sue esequie da un caro amico mio organista. Ogni volta che l'ascolto penso alla sua vita, una continua 'missione' verso i figli. Grazie Ennio per averci donato questo capolavoro, orgogliosa di essere italiana anche grazie alla tua musica!
