Edvard Grieg: In the Hall of the Mountain King from Peer Gynt

[@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

[@lil.bishop1231]

the violin in the front looked like she was having a good time

[@SureBetter]

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

[@anthrazite]

First violin. It's sort of her job haha

[@joaosoares-rr5mj]

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

your rite, but playing hall of the mountain king with ur bros/orchestra is not a small thing

[@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!

Keeping the back rows & violas in tempo when the conductor's back is turned. Concertmaestra!

[@lawrenceburchett7411]

They nailed it,

[@Dmc225]

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

[@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

[@Blazing_oaks]

As a grade 1 chello player I'm also confused

[@boredgrass]

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

A masterpiece ❤

[@chrisbaker2903]

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.

[@Rastonification]

Excellent!

[@nifernic5269]

My 4th grade music students loved this video and wondered what the objects behind the woodwinds are? They appear to be some sort of headrest but why?

[@ryanfitzpatrick3256]

Wonderful!

[@geoffreyswain1490]

Timeless

[@joelburke5352]

all those musicians were just cranking at the end, that was fn sensational, im a metal head play guitar, that looks hard to play on just about all the instruments, dam its good tho, i got into classical music playing return fire game, i actually remember playing cause i wanted to listen to the songs haha

[@onnanob]

Perfection! Wow! At one point it took my breath away.

[@Blazing_oaks]

As a grade 1 chello player i am truly confused on how the chelloists and violinists keep up with the drums they play so fast

Outstanding ! More epic orchestras !!

[@mattdonna9677]

They're good. I will always prefer the Electric Light Orchestra version.

[@donaldmaurer3505]

Would be interesting to see where Grieg might have put a saxophone in this type of music.

[@FuncleB]

Are basoon players called Basoonists? I sure hope so.

[@donaldslayton2769]

The people playing the baboon are working hard and I respect it.❤❤

Ух!!!!

Odin's magical hall.

[@callofduty3807]

I'm only listening to this cause I started to randomly humm it.

[@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.

[@ehdforlife]

There's a reason she is first chair.

[@UTTPSUCKS-c4c]

Ignore the fact that I listen to this for fun.

[@TheOphiuchus666]

Where is Odin's hall?
