Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet, No 13 Dance of the Knights (Valery Gergiev, LSO) 

The LSO logo looks like some Arabic😂

He looks like a monster out of star wars

Classical heavy metal

Early heavy metal took place in the early Iron Age.

Ok seriously tho, is this the case?

Yup rachmaninoff was amazing too

Some? Many! Tchaikovsky is the proof.

"some" is an underestimation regarding the Russian contribution to classical music

Good to see a tenor sax in the mìx

You are correct❤ it!

Thank you for your insightful comment! Much appreciated!

Yes, exactly!

Maybe some metal music comes close

Metal

i was about to say metal but then i looked at the replies

That is because of the strong contrast of the high violins and deep bass horns im combination with the heavy drum sounds and the thunderous cymbals. Even the most ambitious guitarists can only visualize their emotions in the range their instrument can play. That is why some metal bands combine classical music and instruments with modern elements and styles.

Also most modern bands don't really take the time it needs to create the right mood and build an Athmosphere. Therefore mostly the emotional ranges of the songs are minimal. A good example for a band taking its time to bring emotion across would be the german gothic band "subway to sally". On their CDs they are rather mediocre because of the record label wants the songs to be rather short to be more profitable, but if you see them life, they play lutes, bagpipes, violins etc and stretch the song to be twice as long as the studio version. Here is an example to one of their songs about a child that grows up in solitude without friends or a living family. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BQJYwJKbrlg.html

hopefully going to play this in a marching show next year

Incredibly elaborate..

This is so true.

As I've been listening more and more to famous songs that get popular due to "that one segment", I've started humming and recalling other parts. This segment that you point out is perhaps my favorite from this piece.

This sounds like sonic unleashed ost

It’s not a song, but yeah, it’s pretty amazing, isn’t it!

Thank you, Kermit

He’s feeling the music

I know this feeling ! I am so happy for you ! Thanks to technology, i too am discovering the symphonies whose fragments of music that dwell in my memory !

I have been going crazy this week. This was stuck in my head. I don't know where I heard recently. Glad to know I'm not only one.

What happened to the music, poetry even cinematography? Why nobody can produce this type of music any more? Pick in 18,17,19 n very early 20th century. After that slowly but surely "we" started losing it

listen to Quarteto Amatti vastly superior

I just found it too.Like you I heard it many years ago on a documentary about WW 2.I didn’t know how to find it or explain it to anyone and gave up.

I see, u saw it too😂

@@spartan113ish even I, not speaking French, can understand that is said “this is good obsession, it’s normal”. Probably because this is common latin language ancestor to French and English.

I noticed that too. He’s one of the immortals.

no hair, but it`s ok

Living legend Valera Gergiev

Still does for me. Dozens of times later.

It is even more powerful when performed by a really good ballet company. I first saw it live with the New York City Ballet and I remember it vividly.

I dont think you will feel the same listening to, for example, Sviridov's "Troika" or something as Russian people will

actually somewhat.. but there are other factors like culture for one. in how the music is played

Except if you're deaf

Not if you’re deaf

*DEAF PEOPLE*

Hey thanks! 😁

4:38

ITS CALLED A CRESCENDO

The clarinet in 4:48 has such a beautiful tone🖤

in a way, music as a whole acts as a universal language, which is beautiful and very deep when you think about it

@@smxkerings7678 I agree, in every single human civilization there is many forms of music, it is one thing that universally connects us all no matter the background.

I disagree I really like the end where the tuba blasts out of nowhere

It’s both the Trombones and the Tuba

I agree, that’s my favorite part of the whole piece. Out of all the other versions of this I’ve seen on RU-vid, this is the only one that doesn’t have notes weirdly collide at that part

Bro, that's your favorite part just becouse the imperial march fits in there. XD

As a former trumpet player I wish I played tuba.

No, you're not the only one.

Watching the conductor and the musicians adds greatly to to event.

Certainly not. Conductor is another important layer in the music piece.

Definitely not..he makes a huge impact on the performance

Yes. We are about 8 billion humans but you really are the only one :)

ZETH _27 I can relate, when one thinks how hard it is to get into a job like his. How long one has to struggle to get near something like that. Compared to his struggle, mine is almost a trip in a cushioned box.

Thomas Wilkinson ay don’t discount yourself just because of another person’s occupation, you must have some importance to this world

@@tonysfreshpepperoni4802 I don't. I just put mine in relation to his. I know my worth and talent, but I respect his.

to be fair he's most likely a musical prodigy and in that sense he sees music on whole other level, to the point that all he cares about is music

he is Valery Gergiev

Peasant! How dare you!?

Haha, true

i died laughing lmaoo

It’s like the they wanted to cough but tried to find another way to cough and attract no attention to themselves lol

I didn't even notice it was a cough 😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You mean lupen 3?

Isn't the tuba the deep sound?

Usay It is, but the bass trombone(s?) and trombones are making that really loud gritty low brass sound.

Indigo Bone I agree! He (the bass trombonist you seem to enjoy the performance of) has a masterclass, you know. You can view it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--JKF526GGzc.html

Yes - me too - listen to Chung conducting LSO here on YT Not only the tempo in the first 2 bars is all over the show. It seems the orchestra was expecting a slower tempo in the first bar then all of a sudden Gergiev pushes the tempo and the second bar is much faster. Either they rehearsed it at a slower tempo or they didnt rehearse it all

Frank Zappa docet

me too. i loved the bassy clarnet voice at the end of every movement.

You can't beat a bit of clarnet. Especially at the end of every movement.

Sorry guys. I changed my mind. This piece is way too fast. I prefer Yuri Temirkanov conducted one... you can find it on medici.tv youtube channel.

The low brass is fantastic on this one :)

Jan III Sobieski my favourite thing about this piece is that the lower brass section pranked the conductor by playing Star Wars imperial march in another video

Heaven

This is actually a music you want to play to start your day and you mean business

Truly a one's theme song

Ouch, those Russians! :)) I think that Western music has more order, system, school, and mind while Russian music has more melodies, emotions, expression, and soul. P.S. I'm Russian :)

I like both. But my roots make this sound appealing just because of raw emotion

Vivaldi is fantastic though

@@vodkanet7533 Хмм)Не прост он ,а?

Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky are definitely my favorites. 👍🏻

Duh

shouldnt it be at 1:12? This would be great transition to the imperial march from star wars! haha

@@williamsummerspring but is was the low brass that did it

@monsterguy2005 LMAO perfect

Nearly jumped out of my seat at the beginning! but what a treat!

Famous melody "Montagues and Capulets" from the Prokofiev's ballet suite.

C'était justement ce que je cherchais, en voulant illustrer Leos Janack qui disait qu'il a été inspiré par le grand Prokofieff. Cet instant fameux du fameux ballet illustre bien la filiation Russe-Tchèque.

Jean Reffait c'est le coeur slave tout entier qui bat sous la baguette(le cure dent aussi!!!) de ce chef illustrissime !!

Ella Blun you don't think two young people who'd rather end their lives (mistakenly) than live without each other is a love story? Tragic, granted. But their devotion is undeniable.

Shostakovich is great!

That aura is "heavy metal, before there was such a thing"... the Russians really knew powerful stuff.

Of course Tchaikovsky has a special aura when one of his compositions literally have cannons as a percussion instrument

Scriabin too

Korsakov!

I feel that way too

Same here it’s absolutely beautiful

When i listen to this masterpiece i start thinking of Sibelius Finlandia, wery dramatic as well!

Тут согласна. У меня прям все трепещет внутри как только услышу её) великолепная классика!

Que bellas palabras.. .. Saludos 👋

I agree

It does set the listener on fire 🔥 !

No not a new soul's birth. It's a resurrection of a dead soul.

I CANT 🤣

O yes so true, and most of all the low brass, god i love that

They dont even look at him though

damian3182 Truee

True!

passion and power are the right words!!!!

Yes.

Wrong

@@ryderday_ liar

This would be a very odd thing to recommend unless you’re a band kid

Actually it recommended it to me because I was watching the firebird earlier.

This is a pattern, too. Need I mention Dvorak's New World Symphony Movement 4 and the Jaws theme?

Actually, John Williams kind of had to rip off a lot of classical music for the Star Wars soundtrack. George Lucas originally chose some specific classical songs for the soundtrack (I don’t remember which) because of Kubrick’s 2001, but later on he decided to have Williams compose it because he really liked the Jaws soundtrack. However, as the scenes were made with the classical soundtrack in mind, Williams had to compose similar sounding songs for the soundtrack.

Listen to Mahler 6 conducted by Sir John Barbirolli and you have the inspiration for all the Darth Vader themes.

Williams was also heavily inspired by Gustav Holst's The Planets for Star Wars.

Yes, at 1:13

0:04 when the music conductor forgot his baton

Nah they be like this🔁🔁🔀↪️⤴️⬆️⏫⏺➡️↖️↖️⬆️➡️↩️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤴️↖️⬆️⬅️➡️◀️⬇️🔼◀️⏬⏫

@@BrianJohnstonTrombone Agreed

@@JIIKX1 ass a tuba, I agree. Just a biiiiiitt too much

I can almost see how demented it is supposed to seem.

probably a crack fiend

If you look at documentaries or interviews with Valery Gergiev you find out that he is absolutelly normal person with passionate love for classical music, extreme lover. And that is probably what makes him being and acting "weird" or "crazy" when conducting. Maybe the music makes him to be hundreds of other personalities. And I believe it is okay. It´s him, specific for him, and he is Gergiev. Greates and even more great than greatest conductors world have now. No matter if he combs his hair before a concert or conducts with a toothpick in his mouth....It is simply him.

I was so surprised and the luckiest person on earth when I realised that I was once in a concert with him as a conductor😊obviously it was great. FUN FACT: He was so enthusiastic (it was partly a piano concert and partly the 5th symphony of Beethoven) that you heard him breathing and jumping on the wooden floor all the time. (Wasn't annoying. And to be fair ... I was right in front of him)

He missed his calling as a Bond Villain.

Понимаю

Это замечательно! Только я сомневаюсь, что данный фрагмент - это идеальная музыка перед сном. ) Я бы из Прокофьева послушал перед сном что-нибудь из Золушки. Или даже "Петю и волка".

@@GenesisOfPorcupines это моя любимая музыка из классики. Она великолепна, я ее могу слушать и днём и ночью, и для меня значения не имеет. Я бы под нее и заснула наверное))

“Minor notes”
