The Planets - IV. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity - Gustav Holst Susanna Mälkki, Conductor BBC Symphony Orchestra The Proms 2015 Royal Albert Hall, London July 27, 2015
Based on original recordings conducted by Holst himself, all the planets should be played a lot faster than pretty much every modern recording I've heard, including this.
@@brodyplaysthebaritone: that reply makes no sense whatsoever. This music was composed by Holst, and as is evident from Holst's own conducting of his own music, it's supposed to be played a lot faster. So sure, you can like your classical music slow when it's supposed to be slow, but by that logic you should like this particular music fast since it's supposed to be played fast.
i played this in my schools orchestra, and its been stuck in my head since. So when i heard it in bluey, i was just amazed. Cause it really is a beautiful song, and they used it so magnificently.
I really can't dissagree, especially given I found a CD recording of "the Planets" from 1986 (Telarc Digital I believe) and can't stop listening to it, it's increadible, even more so becuase CDs had only been in use for 4 years at that point, so someone spent some serious money for making such a good recording, I swear it has more Dynamic range than most modern stuff...
2:48 is the motif that has stuck in my head all my life. The steady walking of the strings that gets replaced with the grand low brass while the violins and trumpets soar over top. Brings tears to my eyes. I think Holst is where John Williams learned that French horns are first class citizens in any orchestra.
I love the fact that 26 people have watched this with all the effort, training, preparation, skill, and love that has gone into creating this and have said "no, I don't like this."
@@George.Andrews. she's a great conductor. If you've ever listened to the original 1926 recording with Gustav holst and the London Symphony Orchestra, it's actually slower than the original. It's usually slowed down by conductors for power and elegance
This conductor is awesome. After seeing how somberly she conducted Mars and now all her smiles in Jupiter, it’s clear to see how deeply she feels the music. Absolutely love her.
I saw this last night at the Atlanta Symphony and you could tell how hyped the horns were because during intermission you could hear them playing little pieces of Jupiter.
@@aaronpaulm.manuel9871 also used in the BSO of "The Right Stuff", used in the scenes where the Mercury capsules are being launched to space. Great combination of music and images.
Only in a dream can you dive into THE largest, deepest, and most ferocious storm known to humanity (or, in-universe, to caninity) and chillax peacefully.
ninety nine bottles of thing on the wall, ninety nine bottles of thiiiiiiiing, if one of those bottles should happen to fall, you got ninety sev- eight bottles of thing on the wall
I love it❤, I've played classical music for my kids since they were tiny. They both played French horn in school and love music. My daughter found that Bluey episode and played it for me. I freaked, to be honest. What a sweet and beautiful episode it was too. And it was the music that really brought that out❤❤
In my humble opinion, this is one of the finest renditions of a great piece of music that I've yet heard. Tempo changes give the piece drama and character...
Twenty three years ago my daughter’s high school marching band played a section of Jupiter in their halftime show. They were 14 to 18 year olds and they were wonderful. To this day, this amazing piece of music pulls at my heartstrings.
If you mean by "brisk," quick, then you're slightly off. It's slower than scored and conducted by Holst himself. You can hear Holst conducting his own suite of The Planets with the London Symphony Orchestra, recorded in 1926 but restored, and it is clearly more brisk than this one.
@@jediprice70 Funny enough, i have literally just watched that video, and to comment on what you've said, there were comments on that video that said that the reason why the recording sounded "brisk" or "speedy" is because of the recording system. So things were played back a bit faster than how it was originally conducted by holst. 1.) the disk rpm was 78. 2.) holst was "rushing" so all of the planets could fit on that recording you're referring to
@@shadmium3471 Oh thank you, I didn't see those comments on the other video. Or the ones I read I didn't understand what they're saying, because of using musical only words. If you don't understand music words, you don't really know whether they're saying it's faster or slower. So thank you for letting me know. Is it really too fast, in this video.
As a space nerd and planet lover this not only brings me joy of this legendary tune, it gives me a pang of excitement knowing one of the planets was conducted into a masterpiece
I was in the audience two boxes away from the Royale box (to the left) the night of this performance. It was definitely a wow moment and is still now listening to it. 🙂
😢 I love this so much it makes me cry every time i hear it. I want this played at my funeral. I will be crying in my coffin. God bless this beautiful tune!
1:32 Favorite Horn part 1:41 Favorite strings part 1:50 Favorite trumpet part 1:59 strings fastening pace and rolling 2:07 trombones going crazy 4:11 love that key change and horns as well 6:18 like the beginning, royal waltz but with key change 6:25 strings also waltzing 6:46 foreboding trombone and tuba, leaving a dark presence for the short excerpt 6:54 resentful trumpets responding to the foreboding call
@@Yello96486 literally the double reed parts sound so playful and joyful, hearing bassoon oboe stuff always is always so uplifting and dopamine inducing
It absolutely is! Was my 2nd concert band piece to learn to conduct by my band director back in HS for symphonic band. Such an amazing piece! This orchestra is outstanding
I keep returning to this video. I like to think that if Gustav was looking down at this He would say ' Yes, that's how You play it.' so, subtle, so beautiful. The conductor should have some kind of award for it. You can see the love for the piece in Her eyes and Her conducting. Thank you so much.
The best part about music like this is that even though it sounds amazing its actually really easy to play! Amazing music doesnt have to be overly complex.
I'm forever grateful to my music teacher from high school, Mr Malloch, who introduced me aged 11 to classical music through the fantastic Planet suite. Incredible piece.
Every single time I listen to this I start crying at 2:48 because my old high school band director had us play this to get the job. I was a sophomore and he t=was the down right most amazing person and musician a person could meet. Love you Mr. T
Not only is this my favorite of the movements but it’s probably the best conducted and played version that I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy in my 68 years. Very well done Susanna!
We used the chorale for our warm-ups during marching band when I was in college. I think it is probably one of my favorite chorales that I’ve ever heard. It brings me back to the days of playing it in concert band as well. There’s just so much emotion to it.
We played this my sophomore year of HS in my youth orchestra. I was second oboe and absolutely love this piece. This piece has a special spot in my heart especially at the chorale
I love watching the principal bassoonist play. I can tell she thoroughly enjoys playing this piece! I once played bass clarinet on this and it was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life!
Saw the entire set at Hollywood Bowl, I took my grandma and 4 of my friends. Still the best concert and event I ever attended. My friends all agreed. BTW Grandma had a blast.
I can tell how many composers over the years have drawn inspiration from this piece just by listening to it once. Could hear Lord of the rings, Star wars and Legend of Zelda to name a few.
Mr. Joe, u r sooo right!!! I absolutely love everything about this performance...When my high school opened 17 yrs ago, my band director and choral director used the slow part of Jupiter and created our school song!!! Brings back alot of my band performance memories....my senior year, we performed 'The Planets' at our state marching contests and we ranked #1 out of 42 bands......
I was listening to this piece at full volume & my next door neighbor liked it so much that he threw a brick through my window so he could hear it better! I feel so honoured by their genuine appreciation for this masterpiece. 🎇
He wasn’t a fan of ostentatious patriotism. In fact he was quite ambivalent about having such a nationalistic song set to his music. He was a very interesting man.

holy gosh i love this piece so incredibly much and when people play it as fantastically as this, i just can't help but love music and playing instruments even more
Love this song ❤️… is my middle school, national anthem play double base in middle school shortly after my orchestra teacher passed away brings back so many memories LONG LIVE MS BROOM ❤️❤️ Lovely orchestra thank you for sharing
This always makes me think of forza horizon 4 when it just came out. You have the whole, comparatively vast expanse of the map, and you get into your very first long dirt race whilst listening to the classical station and this comes on. Its magical.
