[@SureBetter]

Seems like first chair’s always have that music jumping inside them. I love it!

[@chrisbaker2903]

I love watching a good conductor and orchestra. I got a kick out of the 2 very different styles of the Bassoonists and then the violinist (first chair) who was really having fun. Listening and watching someone who really enjoys what they're playing is even better than just listening. My favorite conductor is the one doing Offenbach -Orpheus in the underworld overture. He sings and dances the music and is just having a grand old time. The players better be in good physical condition too because it gets rather frantic towards the end.

[@marckhachfe1238]

Totally agree. I love knowing that these musicians are having fun as well as being supremely talented. I always love watching an orchestra play like this

[@anonmouse956]

Seeing what a struggle it is for the string players to keep up that pace makes me understand why the finale isn't longer than it is.

[@marckhachfe1238]

Agreed. That's Insane. Great talent

[@Dmc225]

Beautifully performed! The audio is mixed very well, this sounds incredible!

[@joaosoares-rr5mj]

if more people could take joy in the smallest things like the ginger violinist, this world would be a merrier place.

[@Gibbonologist]

So true

[@AndrewRodman1998]

The sound is 100% on point!!

[@linseat7670]

I've listened to and watched this a good few times now. It's the best version I've found on KZbin. It gets me moving when I'm feeling lazy!

I stopped at this video because I recognized the two bassoonists from other videos. I'm 42 seconds in now and thinking this guy is a pretty good director too. The difference in how the two perform is pretty striking too. I never could do the bouncing and dancing in my chair while playing. I was much more like the lady with the lace and hair over her shoulders (other than being male and not into lace... LOL). Wow! That first violinist really likes to dance in her chair. it's clear to me that none of the string players are ever going to have heart troubles. I played violin for awhile and I don't think I could move my right hand that fast even if I practiced for a million years. I'm going to cite this video to a friend who likes classical music.

Great respect ladies and gentlemen!

[@boredgrass]

Gorgeous! Both from the orchestra and the sound engineer! :-)

[@gelobtseiJesusChristus]

A masterpiece ❤

[@sma1968]

That’s a good looking orchestra!

[@Nicholas10101]

Brilliant!

[@christopherschmidt1469]

2nd best version so far. Listened to 2013 one from European orchestra.

[@ryanfitzpatrick3256]

Wonderful!

[@user-zi2jr8sf8z]

Thrilling

[@hestu625]

Well that escalated quickly

[@twojuiceman]

Haha! This piece is like the definition of escalating quickly

[@thomasmcgee754]

best by far

[@geoffreyswain1490]

Timeless

[@jazzjazz3551]

Ух!!!!

[@user-es2xr7ml1h]

Цито!!!!

[@FuncleB]

Are basoon players called Basoonists? I sure hope so.

[@brianswanson9881]

I have to disagree with Chris Baker. The first chair Violinist was showing off, the other string players let their bows do the talking. But this is the best performance yet.
