Still miraculous, after all of these years.

Perfect for 2001: A Space Odyssey if it had been directed be Neil Breen.

Anybody else here because Jerome Weiselberry said to check this out for a laugh?

Love the song, love the rendition, love the comments. 10/10 🤘

Clown car pile up at the end.

Thanks for posting-Apple Music has nothing by the Sinfonia. I read somewhere that John Cage gave friends copies of their records.

Phuking beautiful.

Why don’t they make music like this anymore?❤😂

これは‥‥‥滅び行く惑星の断末魔だ‥

All these Karajan videos are about him and his vanity, and thus I find them boring. As a musician it bothers me that he has absolutely no eye contact with his players.

In the Hall of the Mountain Kill

All the majesty of a fourth grade orchestra combined with the sounds of feral cats mating in a garbage-filled alleyway! 🎉

First time I listened to this, I was going back to work after a lunch break, and had this playing on my earbuds. I nearly wet myself in front of a room full of people when the timpani player started beating the life out of my soul.

And the mountain king went tumbling down.

Mort de rire 🤣🇧🇪

It’s the totally earnest (& Pythonesque) Timpani / kettledrums, that holds this beautiful shambles of a piece, all together & makes it work as an absurdist masterpiece x Make Britain Great Again !😂

Fuck! the sound was really cool though ahah master

i was the tympany player for their concert in Paris, but i am not sure this recording is the one were i was playing. It was a grat fun .

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

getting there ⚡

象にしてはうまい

They did not do the song they intended, but boy did they replicate the sounds of traffic in New York City!

In a class of their own.

So this is what an orchestra falling down a stairwell actually sounds like.

I remember this at college!I think the condition for interviewing students as musicians were that they were unqualified in playing their actual instrument and had never played before!Fantastic Orchestra.I 'm sure I had a floppy single of them!Such fun in those days!👍🎻

Magnifident

At 1:14, there's a tasty bit of naval gazing jazz thrown in there.

Chris Stein of Blondie writes about this in his autobiography. He heard it on radio while on tour in Belgium in 1977 and taped the last part of it. It haunted him for years, but he could never find out where it came from. Finally he heard it again in an Almodovar film - but not credited. Back then, IMDb had message boards, and after a year of checking it, someone posted the solution.

This should have been the theme for the 2024 Democratic National Paarty Convention in Chicago. 😜

5 stars

Where can I get a lyric sheet as I would live to learn the words to better appreciate the finer intricacies of this wonderful piece of musical genius 😂

drums in the deep

This is why aliens never visit us.

Even the drum is out of tune

"What's your major?" "Flute." "Then you become our concertmaster."

This is a masterpiece

They probably can play better than this, it's just put on...

This is on the same stratum as that meme recorder version of My Heart Will Go On.

You can get this same type of experience by going to a beginner band concert

Thank you, KZbin algorithm ❤

The delightfully bizarre thing is that you need to know what it “should” sound like before you’ll find it utterly hilarious….. anyone under 40 will just be looking blank now 😎

LOL

Peer Gynt OST but played by actual mountain trolls

Written by Richard Strauss, probably not what he had in mind. Brian Eno was 'playing'

The soundtrack to me losing my virginity.

Can they like, ya' kno' get all current n' crap an' do like Kenny G, Celine Dijon an' Beyoncey?

A pisser de rire....... ou à pleurer . Merci J.B. Hebey ( "Poste restante" sur RTL automne 1974 ) pour toujours dans mon coeur ........

An amazing work...

This is increbible. It's like musical diarrhea.

Almost - but not quite - as hilariously disastrous as The Temple City Kazoo Orchestra's version! Check them out if you love the Sinfonia! (And prepare yourself for even more deranged 'versions' of 'Staying Alive', 'Miss You' and 'Whole Lotta Love')
