BBC Philharmonic Presents...Nero's Dubstep Symphony

[@ToothlessJustin]

Nero clearly has incredible vision and knowledge of classical music. They are the only electronic group I'm aware of to have recorded a fugue. As a trained classical pianist I appreciate this. I saw them in an intimate show about 10-12 years ago and they were incredible! Truly unrivaled talent!

[@samuelsdimension7021]

I was reminded of this on my Facebook Memorytron today - my comment introducing the post: ‘I've always been a sucker for the combination of popular music ensemble with symphony orchestra; what I especially like about this performance is the way Nero have been well integrated musically into the work, but also physically and visually into the orchestra rather than being presented as being outside it’

[@Sdween]

I hope you’re aware of Kaleidoscope Orchestra

[@JONESSTI01]

[@pikefishmaster1796]

Classic Orchestra with dubsteb music, my dream came true. Thanks BBC Philharmonic Orchestra.

[@user-bl6bk4on5z]

13:32 the orchestral version of Guilt by Nero. From this point on is where I felt they had stumbled upon something that felt just exhilarating. I do like the symphony as a whole and it was building up to this point of the song. It really felt heart pounding and brought a tear to my eye out of shear emotion when it started. It startled me because it has a different emotion than what the rest of the symphony portrays. They could have done Guilt in an orchestrated way and I think it could have reached out to a wider audience. If they had a live singer singing her parts it would have pushed the envelope for me during the performance. This one part of the orchestration really stands out to me as the bread winner of the song. I tried to listen to the track Guilt but it just doesn’t sound as good as the way they did it at the end of the symphony. Man the possibilities of the Guilt being an orchestral track.

[@scoundrel1980]

This is a wonderful, remarkable collaboration. From what I read; both Nero, the orchestrator's of the PhO, and the musicians therein; loved combining the classical elements with the electronic - enjoying the challenges presented with fusing the differing musical competencies. I love that they even dared do this, let alone succeed so distinctively; I hope these collaboration's continue to prevail. I'm struggling to find a more satisfying drop, than one encountered at the 4:53 mark (there - or there about's) - the build up is essential, and achingly beautiful, the ensuing drop......well just listen. (ensure good headphones or speakers, to truly appreciate).

Nero WERE the first to write and record a "Dubstep Symphony". This was recorded live on 6th June 2011 and was later added as a bonus track to Welcome Reality. While Skrillex's Bangarang only went into production in June 2011 and was release in December. I think both are brilliant. But Nero did do it first.

[@4c00h]

Xijin There are no statistics on what I'm about to suggest but usually, in my experience, people like Rachmaninoff are quite creative, and all the creative people I've met seem to be quite open minded. Maybe you can't see it because you're a bit more closed minded?

4c00h You'd be dissapointed to find out what 19th century composers would say about each other (well, basically, each one said horrible, narrow-minded things about the genius of a younger generation, all composers that we consider brilliant and visionary now). :D But if he were to diss this, it wouldn't be necessarily about the idea of dubstep, or the idea of combining those two, but about the sad and lazy result
