The Magnificent Seven | Film Symphony | Barcelona 2014 

Love that professor Snape directs symphonies on his off days

The most powerful music I have ever heard. It's mind blowing.

Every Navy Ship has a nickname. My ship was built & commissioned in 1960, the year the Magnificent Seven movie came out. Our hull number was 7. Guess what our Nickname was? I attended a reunion with 45 of the guys we went to Vietnam and back with, in Tucson about 3 weeks ago. Whenever the ship completed a difficult operation, we would play our song on our topside loud speakers! To this day, my cell phone ringer music is this.

The magnificent 7 is my favourite western of all time 👍👍👍.

Easily one of the top 3 movie scores of all time. Anyone over a certain age instantly recognizes it and the memories it brings. This performance is lovely and captures the majesty of the score.

This is just excellent. It is hard to imagine this version of The Magnificent Seven being played any better!

The audience loved it!... ...listen to the applause!

It's worth looking at the faces of the musicians at the end; they knew they had produced a truly special rendition of this great piece.

Bravo! Too many orchestras play this piece too slowly. This is exactly the correct tempo. Loved it.

The thing I love about classical music is that you can feel the dedication hard work, perfection ,discipline, love and sacrifice that these artists made to their craft.

One of the greatest westerns of all time.

I saw this film more than 60 years ago. Fantastic western, lovely music, great cast. Cannot forget Yul Brynner, Napoleon Solo, the macho Charles Bronson.and certainly the Mexican gang leader Eli Wallach.

make me cry...because my dad loves so much this film. And this absolutely magnificent orchestra with a great conductor, remind me Severius Snape

Truly one of the greatest Westerns ever made! And thank you, Elmer Bernstein, for helping to make it so!

The best Western film evermore with two great actors Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen

love that the guy in the horn section wore his cowboy hat. He must have said "if we are going to do this, lets do it right"

This has to be one of my all-time favourite music themes that just always brings me back to memories of wonderful times as a kid, young adult and now approaching towards my 60's. I love it!!!

I’ve listen to this song over 1000 plus times. I know ever pitch and I must say this is the best rendition. Bravo Bravo Bravo!

I can never understand how someone composes music like this? Do they hear in their head? get inspired by something maybe see it, I dont know how they come up with music. Being an artist myself I know where a certain color or brush stroke would look, thats easy as you can look at it and know, but music, thats magic. So much respect fo the composers who makes art with music.

I agree about about The 🎺🎺🎺🎺Trumpet Player with The 🐂🐂🐂🐂COW BOY HAT ! Looks GREAT !

I gave this a standing ovation for 15 minutes straight!

Professionally and beautifully performed music by one of the greatest A-list film composers of all time, Elmer Bernstein.

What an absolutely beautiful rendition!….and the gentleman with the cowboy hat,I just loved it….so well played.

Dare I say that was Magnificent! One of the first movies I ever saw in a cinema! What a cast! What a soundtrack!

Felicidades Maestro Constantino Martínez-Orts. Hasta hoy no hay una mejor y atractiva interpretacion de esta pieza musical.

I think I was about 16 when this film came out. By the fifth note I was totally overwhelmed.

This is so wondeful, took me back. The Magnificent Seven and The big country became cult movies for us 18 year olds in London. Superb rendition, sent shivers down my spine.

One of the best movie themes ever!!

One of the best videos of this song, and concert, showing all the musicians at work. Well done.

Professor Snape looked like he almost frightened half the strings into dropping their instruments at the beginning.

Absolutely love film scores and this is one of the best. To see professor Snape conducting is a huge plus.😉

Yes indeed. This does lift one's spirits... especially in times like these!

My mother's all time favorite song. She is responsible for my love of original soundtrack music, may she rest easy.

One helluva Western with a magnificent soundtrack by Elmer Bernstein! Well done, bravo!

Magnifico,nos regresa a una epoca maravillosa,de todos los que tenemos entre 50 y 70 años

This is just magnificent. I think the ending is even better than the original. I play this 5 times a day, and was even found myself humming it in the supermarket today. Congrats to all at the FSO.

四十多年前，記得我老爸曾經擁有這首曲子的黑膠唱片，在電視三個頻道只能播放無聊至極的節目時，ㄧ遍又一遍透過唱片音響讓家裡洋溢著這段熟悉的旋律。 當然我爹的職業生涯，跟樂手，騎士，牛仔這些貼近曲目主題的身份毫無相關，但童年回憶深處，這首音樂活生生成為老爸留給我各種印象的一種最佳代替，只要聽到音樂就先想起老爸坐在舊家客廳裡自若的輕鬆神情…… 四十多年後老爸不在的父親節，我還是一遍又一遍播這首曲子給自己聽，希望老爸早已雲遊四海的靈魂也已經找回曾經嚮往的豪邁精神～

I can see that Magnificent Seven now! And.... they were magnificent!

JOHN WAYNE ETAIT DANS LA SALLE, je l'ai vu applaudir à ce chef d' œuvre !!!

Nos hace viajar en el tiempo , a la niñez cuando aparecían en la pantalla de la televisión ( en blanco y negro) aquellos personajes magníficos

Where would we be without music, the people that studied it and play the instruments. You appreciate it more, when you realize how difficult it is to master the instrument and the constant practice to be a perfectionist. I admire professionalism in music.

"You came back. For a place like this. Why? A man like you. Why?"

I just love pulling up to a red light next to some hip hop punk and drowning him out with this blasting on my truck stereo.

One of the iconic theme music worth listening any number of times.

Great to see how it's actually performed by an orchestra and the contributions of all the instruments. The percussion, the bass from the trombone section, never notice the flutes. This is great.

The film was an "ok" western... and became ONE OF THE GREATEST FILMS OF ALL TIMES... because this MASTERPIECE music! When you listening this music, you ARE ON the back of a horse, back then, in the Wild West!

To me this is freedom and open spaces put into music, love it!

Powerful, just like the movie.

One of the best movie scores ever!

Es una obra de arte que representa al viejo oeste de mi continente americano, es un clásico que perdurará por siempre, saludos de Jutiapa en el viejo oeste de Guatemala, vaquero por siempre y de corazón, gran película que rememora una época bella y salvaje que nunca volverá, gracias por su extraordinaria presentación.

Besides the guy in the cowboy hat, I really loved the conductor in his clerical cassock. Plus all his enthusiasm! Oh yes. The very best rendition I have seen and heard, and I have seen most of them.

Excellent interpretation of a piece that is much more challenging than it looks like

Ditto, the guy with the Stetson. But the live score here is simply amazing. Fantastic work people.

This was the break away music for my first ship the USS Henry B Wilson DDG-7, a guided missle destroyer. We played it every time we broke away from refueling or resupplying. I remember the Hammerin Hank every time it's played.

That was awesome..the guy in the Stetson, the whole orchestra seemed to be enjoying themselves, the climactic ending...Professor Snape conducting...simply brilliant.

Born in the 50's,raised in the 60's...Loved the music in the 70's..As in the 2000s

I loooved this movie and the theme belongs on any list of all time best!

The Great ..ELMER BERNSTEIN

One of the absolute best ever western movies ever produced. Believe it or not it the plot line came from the Japanese movie "The seven Samari". Another great movie. Even now at age 70 I still catch this movie whenever I can. If anybody is old enough to have seen this movie on the big screen it was a real experience. I myself saw it with my father at the drive in in 1960. Very few westerns or movies in general can match it. No wonder Marlboro cigarettes bought the rights to the song for their advertisements.

Elmer Bernsteins' magnificent score. It should have taken the best score for its year, It is Iconic. Look at Bernstein's other scores, Also outstanding, The Ten Commandments. The Great Escape, and To Kill a Mockingbird, to name but a few.

Wow!!!! thats why this has 101,919 views we need more thumbs up, folks

They are playing my song! I served on the USS Henry B Wilson (DDG-7). I went back and forth across the Pacific Ocean on that big grey canoe, with a big "7" painted on its hull. Our ship was Commissioned in 1960 about the time this movie came out, so one of our ship's nicknames was, "The Magnificent Seven". I went to Vietnam and back aboard that ship in 1971. In May of 1975 that ship proved how Magnificent it was by its rescue of the SS Mayaguez. Which was the last battle of the Vietnam War.

I would have loved to have been at this concert, I know its been many years, but brao, to all of these fine young musicians. their rendition of this tune is still bringing joy to people today

Absolutely terrific One of the best renditions of an American classic by any orchestra even in The US.Fabulous my hats of to them

Love the arrangement, that bass tuba like thing the French Horns, all the 'strings', and the Darth Vadar conductor. Magnifico!

This conductor saw the movie. The whole orchestra saw the movie! This version has life and action! It explodes off the stage! Well done! Whoop dee do! Is that better, linguistics teacher?

Nada como escuchar esta genial melodía de un filme icónico del Hollywood clásico.

Such a beautiful rendition of this. The maestro is a true artist politely acknowledging his colleagues when they say something to him during the performance. I like the gentleman in the cowboy hat, a nice idea. Really is a great collaboration. Glad you posted it.

Yeah, that cowboy hat is his tribute to the melody, well done man!

Fantastic. Close your eyes and there are the seven riding into town

When we were growing up and watched these big screen movies, little did we know how much incredible and talented work went into the themes ! Awesome 👌

Not only a potions master but a symphonic conductor to boot. Lol. Great job by everyone, a real treat.

Wonderfull music from a unforgetable movie!Greetings from Brazil!

I loved the movie. Yul Brynner wow! The music 🎵🎵🎵🎵 is awe inspiring.

A true Classic..........

siento porciento numero uno musicale conductore muy magnifico, la vida muy bien paniero el maestro

Wonderful rendition! Ah, you can smell the great West in these notes! Of course, this theme was also used for many years as the Marlboro Man. I also enjoy that the orchestra colleagues are so proud of each other (see the other trumpet players clap for their colleague). I am learning this piece on the piano, and it’s harder than it appears - many key changes, very tricky rhythms.

I love to watch a symphony working together, after having heard this so many times. It wears well.

To me this is the best rendition of the greatest cowboy movie. Love the conductor

Flawless Magnificent Seven Symphony

Damn!!!! Everytime I listen to this number I actually want to get on my steed (read stallion of a motorcycle) and ride hard into the sunset. Goosebumps galore!!!!

I used to listen to the record made for this movie as a child. It was one of my favorites. Great job!

Even though modern and atonal music destroyed the classical symphony orchestra, film music will keep the nineteenth century classical tradition alive for a lot longer.

Best movie theme ever, and they did a great job with it! Such an inspiring piece of music.

Nothing short of perfect. I have seen many others. All good, but this the absolutely the best.

I am a huge fan of Hugo Montenegro and my father took us to the drive in where we watched every Spaghetti Western that Cling Eastwood starred in:The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More. I had stolen his Movie theme 8 track "Paint Your Wagon" just to hear these songs. The CT Hurricanes Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps makes the Magnificent Seven their signature song and they KILL!

A great movie, made timeless by what may have been the greatest movie score of all time!

People say movie scores aren't "real music" because they rely on visuals to give them meaning, but this is an example that doesn't. The music is stirring all on its own without even referencing the movie.

Bernstein wrote music for one of the most iconic westerns ever made!

I love this wonderful music

One of the finest examples of counterpoint I have ever heard. Beautiful blended themes and spirited tempo.

What's great about this is the robustness of the brass contrasted with the sweetness of the strings. Oh yeah, and the conductor almost dancing at different points in the score!

I played the video because I absolutely could not remember what the theme sounded like. I have watched "The Magnificent Seven" dozens of times over the years, but it has been a long while since I last saw it. This is a good rendition. But, when I hear it, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Marlboro man. Yeah, I'm that old.

Wonderful score and septimus snape on the wand did it full justice

Just listening to this has me wanting to watch that old classic again...even though I know each characters’ lines cold. Great movie and soundtrack.

IT'S REALLY AMAZING THAT A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA FROM SPAIN PLAYS THIS MAGNIFICENT WESTERN THEME SONG AND YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE FROM ELMER BERNSTEIN'S VERSION!!!!! DOC

Music does not get any better than this,

The music of my wonderful America...loved all over the world. This music so defines our boldness and sweeping majesty, yet the tenderness and beauty as well. Music really is a gift from God.

Great rendition of the original, I got saddle sore from listening to it. Thank you. 💔

Brillante!!! Logra hacer volar mi alma y retrocederla en el tiempo a una época hermosa de mi vida. La música todo lo puede. Felicitaciones!!!
