I cry every time I watch this…absolutely the most beautiful performance of one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema music ever recorded. I hope to hear this group live in person before I die.
Every time I listem to this performance, you make me move. Japaneses singing like Italians.. probably cause you sing to the Universe and we all can hear it ! I love you so much !!
There is no conductor, as I'm sure you have noticed, yet the ensemble playing of this group is outstanding. There are many separate lines of music going on and the visual cues provided by movement of the players helps them coordinate the entries, the dynamics and the shape of the phrasing. They are all consummate musicians and masters of their instruments. Have a look at some of their other videos - in particular the 2nd movement of the New World symphony is another superb example of their playing and musicianship.
