FIRST TIME HEARING | The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)

[@winchesterbear]

The hanging man? See the movie.

[@jameshamilton4461]

That would be best...

[@kennyaldrich9542]

"sorry tuco

[@johammerstein3605]

it's the main title from the 1966 Italian epic western movie staring Clint Eastwood. It's the third of the trilogy of spaghetti (Italian) westerns. the composer is Ennio Morricone. You should check out the movies. 1st) A Fistful of dollars, 2nd) For A few Dollars More, 3rd) The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

[@sbigford]

If you see the movie you will understand the significance of the hanging man. It's all in the movie.

[@hazelmaylebrun6243]

Ennio Morricone composed this. He was such a masterful composer This Danish (from Denmark) orchestra does a fantastic job on this piece. Clint Eastwood... the movie... The Good, the Bad, and the Uglly... the instrument you liked is an oboe, one of the hardest instruments to play, but if you can master it, what a lovely sound it has.

[@carolcoker9862]

I love all the spaghetti westerns and Clint Eastwood was always one of my favorites

[@markgardner9635]

"Danish" may make one think to pronounce it as "Dan"--ish but the correct pronunciation is Dane-ish, residents from Denmark. The Good, Bad, and the Ugly was a classic Clint Eastwood spaghetti Western and the music was all in the soundtrack. Both have been used in commercials. The second is used for Modelo beer.

[@briancleveland6115]

How about the Dan ish ock estra 🤣

The person who does the wha wha is Tuva SEMIGNSEN, she is a famous mezzo-soprano who also knows how to whistle. Since this concert she has been nicknamed LADY WHA WHA everywhere and she is very proud of it. If you watch the video carefully you will see that her earrings are small Colts.

[@Zebred2001]

The hanging dude is the sort of "decoration" you might see in a Western.

[@bennyosterbye8677]

It is the solo violinist who came too late :)

[@vicmusgrave1278]

The movie sound track for the good bad and the ugly

[@michaelkrummel2071]

The tune is called Ecstasy of Gold from the movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. About the time this tune is played in the movie, one cowboy is standing on a box with a lasso around his neck. Clint Eastwood rides away, turns and shoots the rope. That's why the guy is hanging above the orchestra.

[@zimjun7]

Perfect, PERFECT explanation! I had forgotten. Yes, Clint casually shot the rope and rode away. Yessa!!! June

[@clintonsmith5163]

Spoiler alert.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Not quite, because the hanging man is also in the beginning, being delivered to be hanged for a Reward, and then shot free by Clint Eastwood, after having collected the Reward, once again!

[@shagojo84]

It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to. Italian tv choose this to advertise a cinema festival (venice festival) and I LOVED that choice

[@HendersonDavid-m8r]

You gotta see the movie, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"! An absolute classic!

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

Music on a whole other level

[@encrypter46]

The instrument you asked about is the oboe. If you've seen "The Godfather", you might enjoy their playing of that soundtrack as well.

[@iamthedonkeyman]

*Cor Anglais. Very close to oboe though. Slightly larger meaning a rather deeper, more rounded timbre.😊

[@doderdo1]

The man hanging from the balcony is the last conductor the musicians were unhappy with😅 Greetings from Denmark ❤

[@andreledauphin]

gewoon om andere chauffeurs te Waarschuwen om goed werk te leveren

[@briancleveland6115]

🤣

[@kenttaylor9238]

The hanging man is a movie reference, or I've heard rumored he was a musician who played a wrong note in the previous performance 😉

[@hockemeyer1]

The instrument of your question is an oboe.

[@erikahlander3489]

The soprano girl in the second part also appear in Procul Harum's Danish concert 2006. I guess you will make "A whiter shade of pale" sooner or later...

[@marie_d8044]

A hanging is the first scene in the movie. Clint Eastwood and Eli Wallace have a grift where Clint turns in Eli for the reward money and Clint shoots the rope from Eli’s neck seconds before the trap door drops.

[@parinthianquattropani9071]

Excellent choice, Ace! Thanks! 😊

[@jrepka01]

Ennio Morricone is one of the great film composers, responsible for the scoring of over 400 films. This is by far his most famous composition, for the movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). One of his greatest fans is Quentin Tarantino who hired him to score Kill Bill vol. 1 (2003), Django Unchained (2012) and The Hateful Eight (2015). He passed away in 2020.

[@SG-js2qn]

Creativity went off the charts in the late 60s.

[@MsAppeljack]

The hanging guy is tribute to the film, which was built around hanging in the start of the film ;)

[@clintonsmith5163]

And the end of the film too!

[@brandonflorida1092]

The sound track plus one song from the 60s movie "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," the third and final movie in "The Dollars Trilogy." The composer is Ennio Morricone.

[@pauls7677]

The guy hanging is the whole plot of the movie. It how the movie begins and ends.

[@reneblom2160]

That wind instrument you asked about is a tenor oboe, called English Horn (cor anglais).

[@stephenkittle6586]

Sound track to THE MOVIE " THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" . THE END OF THE MOVIE HAS TO DO WITH A HANGING THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN !! "BLONDIE, BLONDIE, BLONDIE"!! MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE EVER , CLINT IS A SICK ASS KICK ASS BAD ASS!! 😍😍😍😍

[@argantyr5154]

It is two parts form the Movie "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", The Siluette you can see is that of Clint Eastwood, the "Hang man" plays a big part of that Movie. Fun fact, The second part of the Song "The ecstacy of Gold", is played as an intro to every Metallica Concert, the reason being, is that James Hetfeld is a huge Western Fan. The Danish National Symphony Orchstra, have diffent theme Nights, this is from their Western Night, they also have a Science Fiction, Agent, Fantasy etc.

[@kennyaldrich9542]

the lil "blowing instrument " is called an oboe

[@chlebowg]

The end scene was a three way cowboy shoot out in an arena.

[@spicewood7790]

Nice review !!! I “borrowed” the following from another person’s review but I think this was some excellent information … The Conductor is Sarah Hicks. See below… “”The conductor here is an American "guest" conductor for this concert. Sarah Hicks is the principal conductor of the Minneapolis Orchestra, graduate Magna Cum Laud with a BA degree in music composition from Harvard University. Sarah is highly sought after as a "guest" conductor the world over and has worked with dozens of orchestras all over the word in both hemispheres. What does a conductor do? In this case Sarah chose all of the music for this concert which centered on Ennio Morricones' Spaghetti Western movies sound tracks. She spent hours studying the entire score, making notes as she went along that she would later share with the musicians during rehearsal, She then rehearsed the Orchestra and choir sharing her vision for the various songs, what the dynamics would be, play softy here, a bit more fortissimo (with force) there, establishing what the tempo will be, applying her leadership to inspire these very "Top Shelf" musicians to project her vision of the music and concert. Sarah does have a series of KZbin educational videos addressing this very question that you asked: "What does a conductor do?'" She is quite an impressive young lady, very talented and, I feel quite gifted!””

[@williambranch4283]

A musician is a wonderful person. A conductor is a super person. They have to know every note of every instrument and voice in 3-d ... to know who is doing it wrong! A magnificent cover. Their cover to the theme of the movie Gravity is haunting.

[@martinbynion1589]

The hanging guy was the first cello; he fluffed the opening of the piece, so they strung him up... 🙂

[@diannthomas5653]

Beautiful!

[@kitharley6159]

Composer Ennio Morricone was extraordinarily influential in the art of soundtrack composition.

[@DianeTaylor-m9c]

Gotta watch the movie now.

[@patroscher3011]

Watch the movie and the man hanging from the rope will make sense. Great movie , song and performance .

[@benjurqunov]

But why does hanging invalidate special homosexual rights ? Tuco wasn't no illegal mexicsn !

[@kenbo80]

The hanged man is represents the character Tuco, who is hung three times in the movie.

[@HenryCabotHenhouse3]

If you had seen the film, you would understand the hanging man. But watch them in order: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, TGTB&TU.

[@walterkirk9210]

I'm quite sure the woodwind instrument with the small metal neck was an English horn, which is similar to an oboe in that they are both double-reed instruments, as opposed to a saxophone and a clarinet which are both single-reed instruments. The double-reed has its own sound for sure -- can really infuse a mood. Probably some information that you already knew, but...

[@greg79shoaks]

if Ecstasy of Gold sounds familiar it's been used in Modelo beer commercials. :)

[@patrickmooney4135]

Sarah Hicks is an American conductor. You should watch the videos they did of the other two theme songs from the trilogy. They are just as good. It would have been spectacular to be in the audience that night. Speaking of which, it must have been an interesting day when she walked in as a visiting conductor to meet the Danish orchestra for the first time and announced the music they were going to play... The what now? LOL. And watch the movies, they are great!

[@MrVik62]

The hanged man is the concertmaster of the orchestra who was late for the final rehearsal. Danes love punctuality. It's a joke: in the movie The Good guy saves The Ugly from hanging

[@user-csShoelessjo]

He was the bad,in the good the bad, and the ugly movie.

[@qadgopthemercotan]

No, Tuco was the ugly. Angel Eyes was the bad

[@akyhne]

The conductor in this video, is actually Japanese-American. Hrr name is Sarah Higfs, if I remember correctly. The DNSO often has a guest conductor to these movie theme nights.

[@MrJohnTeacher]

One reactor commented hearing this made him want to go out and do something heroic.

[@Howdyall]

Wanting to do something heroic is a much better reaction than how it makes me get teary because l get to witness such breath-taking perfection. It gets me every time.

[@Gert-DK]

The Conductor Sarah Hatsuko Hicks, is from the US. Born in 1970. Look her up.

[@eTraxx]

"Why is he hanging?" .. WATCH .. "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" .. the movie

[@kathleenfarraher9894]

😂you so need to watch the movie. "The good, bad and the ugly"

[@danalynch8889]

This is from the western movie of the same title and it had hanging in it, so a hanging prop. The joke is it is the former conductor who messed up.

[@sandralorenz1796]

This is from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name. One of the 'spaghetti westerns'. You have to watch the movie to get the significance of the hanging man.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

From the 1966 motion picture, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," the original version of this theme song was by Hugo Montenegro and His Orchestra. This version from the Danish National Symphony stays very true to the original. Rent the movie and you'll gain some context.

[@glenrobinson6637]

You asked how they come up with this. You can thank the great late Ennio Morricone who composed most of the fantastic spaghetti westerns composed scores for great movies like The Mission (Jeremy Irons, Robert De Niro), The untouchables (Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro). Academy, Grammy, Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winning genius, sadly missed.

[@kennyaldrich9542]

if you havent seen the movie you havent lived its honestly one of the MOST iconic movies of all time as far as westerns i honestly hope youve since watched this epic..once you see it youll totally understand the hanging man lol 9 blonde used charge money to shoot criminals down ..but yeah please watch the movie the second part of this tune is called "ecstasy of gold sadly now used in some beer commercial (2024) one last thing the woman singing in the first movt. IS singing but shes singing inunison with a harmonica..most of the time..

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

If you liked this, you'll LOVE "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by the '60s/'70s rock group Procol Harum, recorded live in Denmark in 2006 in an outdoor setting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaWZm6x7e8poja8si=Hl_DWP0_8L9FiLfm

[@slimpickins9124]

That's what you get when you talk back to the conductor.

[@merrilynhunt7819]

now listen to them play "The Godfather". It is from the same concert. You will be blown away!!!

[@darinswift490]

Theme to a western call the Hood , The Bad and the Ugly. Hangin in western….

[@ernesthakey3396]

Side note, not sure what the ratio is in Europe, but in the US, in orchestras, about 64% of the conductors are men, 36% are women. But as with many careers or occupations, the ratio seems to skew even more towards men at the more prestigious orchestras. A greater disparity in that position is ethnicity/race, sadly illustrating how far we still have to go for equality in that regard; some of that reflects different percentages of the overall population, but even so: White, 74.7% Hispanic or Latino, 9.5% Black or African American, 5.6% Asian, 5.3% Unknown, 4.7% American Indian and Alaska Native, 0.2% Orchestral music is more accessible to people who grow up in privileged circumstances. I love it - but I love lots of other genres of music too, and many other genres are easier to get into on a limited budget. Got a guitar and talent, you can try to make it in country, rock, blues, whatever, without an expensive path going to musical colleges etc...

[@laapache1]

SEE THE MOVIE TO UNDERSTAND THE HANGING MAN

[@stevenwalker5343]

Go watch the movie "The good, bad and ugly" and you will understand and appreciate it more.

[@stephenleslie5486]

Clint Eastwood RULES!

[@RobertSmith-jr1tw]

It has to do with movie

[@richardbyrd4385]

Must watch the movie bro.

[@user-csShoelessjo]

This was the last song in the movie.

[@prouvencau6343]

The hanging man made some noise in the audience 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@eTraxx]

That's not just a woman .. that ... is Sarah Hicks ...

[@jessicahedman3048]

pure ear candy

[@chamberlainwonder369]

Bro, morricone would set anybody's mind and body on fire with creativity and musical emotional movement, are you not seeing a man hinging up for an execution for murder, people of those time was facing a capital execution by hanging and the orchestra is telling and demonstrating the story

[@BarnDoorProductions]

"Someone was hanging!" Don't mess around with the Danish National Symphony. That was the old whistler -- who wasn't very good.

[@johnm4558]

This is the first video I've seen of yours. Yes, gotta see the movie to understand the hanging mannequin. Also, Metallica has used the second half of this piece (Ecstasy of Gold) in their concerts. Here's one of those video's... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYLVp5VpnpakY6c Jayz sampled that same song to make this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnakq51sjqtlfpo This beer commercial used it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4XcnH-CotBkotE A video game used it... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXulZJ2epb2bnNk While I believe the Danish Symphony performed the best modern version of this number, the British Royal Marines performed it as well... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lajPamh4id2Ij6M I love how the Danish Symphony performed it. It sounds like a modern version of the original from the movie.

[@hardboiledharry4061]

One mistake and the whole thing ruined, the work, dedication and discipline on display is astonishing, Tuva Semmingsen (Wah Wah) is a Norwegian mezzo-soprano and coloratura singer, she's wearing gun shaped earrings and her wah wahs are in sync with a harmonica, she's amazing, please look up her other works with this orchestra, I can't find much information on the other singer Christine Nonbo Andersen other than she is Danish...Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) who composed this is a genius and a legend as he should be, film director Sergio Leone (1929-1989) is also a genius and legend, both of them have inspired many of today's composers and directors and will continue to do so for generations to come.

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Don't mean to be a "debbie downer" on this one man but ....a cover is a cover .....some have been better than others but in the big picture, why listen to someone else sing a Joni Mitchell song when you can listen to her .......well........in that vain... .I prefer the the original soundtrack version from Ennio Morricone...............but ,that's just me ,I guess.

[@ernesthakey3396]

If all you want to do is close your eyes and listen, sure! But watching the actual performance is pretty cool too. Many of the older classics, you don't have a recording of the original available to listen to, not to mention actual video - especially if younger and not able to collect really old stuff. Stuff like this help spread the appreciation for great music amongst those who would otherwise never have heard it. Thus guy is clearly enjoying this new-to-him experience. As for me, I frickin' love seeing the waa-waa gal really leaning into her part! 😉

[@ernesthakey3396]

P. S. - you may have been autocorrected, the phrase is "in that vein". It's a weird phrase but I like it...

[@littlebigjohn69]

first of all thank the composer ENNIO MORRICONE . you got to see the movie for you to understand the meaning of the hanging person. ennio composed closed to 500 movie soundtrack some of my favourite is THE MISSION, AND ALL THE SPAGETTI WESTERN, CINEMA PARADISO. YOU GOT TO SEE THE MOVIE FOR THE MEANING OF THE HANGING PERSON.
