I first heard this as a child in Disney’s Fantasia. Just beautiful with the animation they put together with the Firebird suite. Still love this magnificent piece by Stravinsky.
My dance director, who was like a second father to me, died a little over a week ago. This song was the last song he ever danced to, and it was the last dance he ever choreographed for us.
I am no orchestra expert but I fell in love with this masterpiece the first time i heard it in Little Einstein's Firebird episode. Especially the part in 8:40 up until the end.
Many years after playing this in concert I found myself humming the finale. I played it on the piano to roughly compose the notes, Googled them and was instantly sent back in time when watching this video. It is a very powerful piece, something I will always remember I have played.
MTT was the perfect person to conduct Stravinsky considering he met Stravinsky, played for him, and also debuted many of his late works under the direction of Stravinsky himself. A living legend!
This is my favorite orchestral piece of all time. I actually heard this song for the first time on a Little Einsteins episode as a kid. It has stuck with me ever since, I will never forget this beautiful song.
Every Single Time I hear this song it's just goosebumps all over. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!!!!!! This song is the reason I listen to classical music but I have yet to find a song that moves me like this one does. It is a masterpiece.
my freshman year at lamar university in SE Texas we played this and killed it. i'll never forget how good it felt as a freshman music major it was my first serious piece, even if I only sat as principal tuba
Hats off to the E-flat clarinet girl! The E-flat clarinet just adds so much spicccy nastiness to the Infernal Dance and she killed it! Also kudos to MTT for not doing the 1919 suite which lamentably omits the E-flat clarinet.
Energía instantánea de inspiración musical, dibujando con sus notas una epopeya sonora de exaltación trascendente. Una composición genial e interpretación magistral.
You don't. The music is all digital & the "players" are all unemployed actors. The need for "real people" has come and gone. *DON'T BELIEVE ME?" Then watch this Twilight Zone episode, "The Obsolete Man" (telecast June 2nd, 1961), starring the immortal Burgess Meredith, which predicted **WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW** : www.dailymotion.com/video/x6hwlrt
Sorry to burst your bubble but the YSO is only a thing that Michael Tilson Thomas (the conductor) did in 2009 and 2011. It was called the RU-vid Symphony Orchestra because Tilson Thomas brought musicians from all over the world together by having them audition by recording themselves and uploading it to RU-vid
That’s so funny, I was just telling my partner about the Yes concert and this playing beforehand. Was it Ally Pally bowl? I just remember being 16 and lying to my mum about where I was going
Stravinsky used to stick up his middle finger to the music establishment, especially in the USSR that tore him down whenever they could. And he does so from beyond the grave as his music is immensely popular around the world and forever will be.
to Estevan Music- I know, I'm just too privileged-having heard that one too- But sometimes you just fall in love ...sorry! I want the end of this piece played at my funeral, should I ever have one...
I'm pretty sure he knew. He was working with some of the greatest artists, costumers and dancers in the world. I'm sure with modern lighting and sets the Ballet Russe would have been even better. but he created this masterpiece with some of the best artists in the world. I wish I could go back in time and see in performed in his lifetime.
I absolutely LOVE how some frequences of the very last beat/bang get a little muted because of the recorder's decibel capper. This way you don't drown in the bang, but you hear the echoe of it.. Amazing coincidence and beautifull for those who notice it. Am I the only one?
@boyan1234 ah that part is my favorite too. I loved this piece since I was a little kid. (this was in fantasia 2000 from Disney) And I always said: MOM, CAN WE GO TO THE FIREBIRD PART? And when that part came on the tv, I always cried exactly at this part you mentioned.
Solemne desde 8:40, el dulce sonido del corno es respondido por las cuerdas a manera de consuelo, hermosa pieza; con un final esplendoroso, buen trabajo RU-vid Symphony.
Very good, but when I listen to this piece, I always wait for the last note which gives the whole piece a proper dramatic ending. I did not hear that last note here. The instrument that plays this note is the cymbal. Dr. Joseph Adan, Ph.D.
I feel like this is us humans and us polluting the oceans and air and other stuff..This music should be playing in the background during this happening..
