Conan The Symphony

[@supertwinlife6951]

Forgot how beautiful this music score was. Thank you for loading this video and being able to see Basil in action.

[@stevegarland1526]

WOW!! I started my working life at 14 working in theathers. Mostly I loved the movie soundtracks I heard. So Wonderful to see someone who loves music from movies.

[@nagone11]

People just don't know how truly freakin' awesome Basil Poledouris really was! Too bad he's gone..

[@rafaeld.2554]

GENIUS... hE'S WAY above people think.... It just aint normal... This gu ywas REALLY sommenthing... This soundtracj is majestic and mystical, a pearl

[@kitandco]

Thanks for making this public. It was really great concert. Really sad there was only one with Basil. He was great and underrated. Such awesome music - and not even one nomination on Oscar.

[@williamberne]

How can this precious vid go unnoticed by all the Conan/Basil fans?!

[@drukharimatter2962]

I would have loved to see theology /civilization as well, but I’m so grateful he did this performance before he passed. What a legend.

[@Emelefpi]

I wish this also included "Wifeing/The Leaving/The Search" , "Mountain Of Power Procession" and "The Kitchen/The Orgy" as well

[@lodoss118]

I miss the maestro.

[@dans1662]

Holds up and still sounds Amazing.

[@seanmcgoldrick4870]

Greatest soundtrack ever IMO.

[@catchoupiote]

Great concert. The orchestra (strings, horns...) shows its limits, but still, it sounds great ! You can learn a lot by watching this kind of concert attentively. For example, from 13:20, the associate concertmaster girl looks several times at the conductor as if she was unsure of something or trying to get some info, whereas the concertmaster (at her right) plays with eyes firmly upon the score.

[@PSP18128]

what humility

[@brentlongstaff5520]

Deeply inspired by masters such as Rimsky-Korsakov, but still unique and breathtaking!! Listen to 'Scheherezade', and you will hear/understand some of what the maestro was creating, inspiring and feeling!! One of my favorite film scores. Priceless, amazing, inspired and beautiful!!

[@Francesconcjsja]

Basil was an incredible genius! Thank you so much!!

[@joelster23]

Oh wow...so great to see these performed live. Powerful stuff

GREEK SPIRIT ......A MASTERPIECE

DIVINO

[@schwereangriff7604]

Música sobrecogedora, sin ella la película no sería lo que es. Yo la vi en 1982 en los cines de aquella época y me impresionó.

[@brandonshaffer2102]

Thank you so much for this

Thanks a lot and best regards from Brazil!

[@alejandrovillegas177]

Llorando en este momento... grande Basil le diste alma a un bárbaro y a un robopolicía. Eres uno de los más grandes. (criying right now out of emotion to stumble with this awsome material. Basil you were the soul of a barbarian and a robocop, you'll always be one of the greatest.)

[@victorquezadahernandez9003]

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo.

[@o.g.m.5031]

hay un paraje precioso en mi pueblo, donde se rodaron las escenas del hechicero y la espada ,donde tu musica sonará para siempre en el viento. Es un sitio mágico,como tu música, Basili... Gracias, allá donde estés,aunque seguro que alguna vez nos visitarás, en ese mismo viento que nos trae tu musica... Parque Natural Punta Entinas, Roquetas de Mar, Almería,España, por supuesto...

[@namoratlantis9726]

Qué comentario más bonito... gracias. Espero tener ocasión de visitar ese lugar algún día.

[@o.g.m.5031]

Deberías visitarlo...aunque tiene peligro, quizá no quieras volver a tu casa... Google/ Almería es de cine/Conan el barbaro/Parque Natural Punta Entinas Google /Peñón de Bernal/Templo de Conan el Bárbaro /El Ejido Un saludo!

...And kudos to the trombone/tuba section!!!!

[@zombiefulci3301]

Way better than John Williams just based off of the Conan movie soundtracks.

[@hyenaswine]

Where is the main theme part?

[@goldenhide]

That's "Anvil of Crom." Unless you mean the slow percussion lead-in that would have Mako's voice over giving the traditional Conan introduction over the top. But even that leads right into "Anvil of Crom" as the theme. Musically identifiable as the main theme/Conan's/Crom's theme as Basil uses it (or variations of it) as the leitmotif to represent Conan/Crom musically in other parts of the score ("Atlantean Sword," "Love Theme," and more).

[@rudyramos2333]

Crom laughs at your oscars

[@Angelo-ug4nw]

Beautiful fight music

[@capnjackgallows3204]

They messed up on the atlantean sword theme , when that hit comes in it sounded so damned wonky and unfocused and lacked that sharpness

[@thomasshin9562]

Yeah, this was not the cleanest performance and conducting, but I also didn't realize this was only 4 months before his death so that kinda put things into perspective for me
