@Heather Murray No one who has played in an orchestra will ever say that lol. No performer is looking at a composer 100 percent of the time, but they will always pay attention to his movements with the side of their eyes. A great orchestra is unified by what the composer perceives as the right amount of dynamics for each section

When classical is more metal than metal

[@catchoupiote]

What exactly do you mean by metal in fact ? I'm interested. If you listen le Sacre du printemps ou Arcana, you'll probably find it even more metal than this.

[@mikeschneider1624]

@@catchoupiote pls elaborate .. do you have a link? "Le sacre du printemps" is a piece of Igor Stravinsky, what do you mean "ou Arcana". Please always think before you post.

This is the answer to the Riddle Of Metal. Classical IS Metal. Just listen to some of the best compositions by the likes of Yngwie, Children Of Bodom, Stratovarius, Hammerfall, Helloween...really any of the essential guitar parts of anything within the genre...and you'll know the truth!

"Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, and why we died. All that matters is that today, two stood against many. Valor pleases you, so grant me this one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, the HELL with you!"

[@Kacsintapista]

The riddle of the steel, explained: The villain, Thulsa Doom, asks the captured Conan, "What is the riddle of steel?" Doom answers this question by explaining to Conan that the true strength of steel is in the hand that wields it - in other words, it is the resolve and commitment we bring to a task, not the quality or quantity of tools we use in performing it, that is the most important factor in determining success.

[@hyperchaotix32x]

What does not kill you makes you stronger. The epitome of this movie is so much deeper than I feel it is given credit for. Part 2 was to plainly make money. But this film is extremely thought provoking. A lot to apply to one's life.

[@gordondeprest]

This comment is 100% spot on. What value is the "rewards" in life without the hands that forged them

[@ac4185]

The best part is when he breaks his father's sword and proves it.

[@Talwyn22]

It is the strength of will that is at the heart of the riddle of steel

[@johnb1759]

Furthermore, after said villain sends Conan to be crucified upon The Tree of Woe, a desolate, lone standing skeleton of its former self, to ponder not only his transgressions for daring to enter Doom’s Mountain of Power with dgive way on dispatching the snake cult leader, but also the Riddle of Steel, ie what strength does steel have compared to the hand that wields it. “Flesh and blood is stronger”, the agent of Set proclaims. Condemnation to the Tree of Woe is a fate few, if any, could survive, and this proves true even for a man of much constitution such as Conan. Despite having been found and recused by his friend, the thief/archer Subotai, and returned to his lady love, Valeria, Conan succumbs to his injuries. It is after his resurrection by the Wizard Akiro (paid for by Valeria, with her life, it turns out) that we see a redux to the Riddle of Steel. In the deep, emotionally touching “Recovery” scene and score track, Conan is seen alone in the arid, oceanside encampment practicing a kata with his Atlantean Sword and becoming reacquainted with his own body after having been sent to the Great Beyond on Crom’s Mount only to be returned to the material plane once again. As he adeptly wields his signature weapon, appearing to have not lost a step, we see the power give way to a more pensive Conan. As the scene draws to an end, Conan lifts his own hand in favor over his cold steel weapon, and gazes upon it, no doubt conflicted and confused about what his father had taught him about steel (you can trust it above all else, and can trust only it in this world) and what his arch enemy had said about the Riddle of Steel just before he consigned Conan to his death, i.e. “what is steel compared to THE HAND that wields it”. As the scene fades, Conan gazes upon his hand, clenching it into a fist, leading us to believe that perhaps the Riddle of Steel was once again lost on the battlefield.... What, then, is the Riddle of Steel? How is steel both strong, and not strong at all? How are flesh and blood, both easily rendered asunder by a honed blade, stronger than steel? It is, of course, as the OP John Leriel said, because the strength of steel lies first in its physical qualities, but that those qualities pale and fade away in comparison to the commitment of the person wielding it. A poorly prepared, poorly motivated person wielding a sword is no comparison to one of bold resolve, to one driven of dedication to task and purpose. The natural question arises, was Conan’s father wrong in what he taught young Conan in the beginning of the film? Did he mislead Conan in the truth about steel, a lesson that only Thulsa Doom could correctly teach later in the film? Let me know what you think with a reply.... until then: Have a look at and listen to The Recovery, and enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZfaiYNtps9je5o

[@tunguskalumberjack9987]

That was one of the longest and most well-deserved standing ovations I’ve ever seen. When you see such a passionate conductor, it appears as if they are playing their own body like an instrument. You can have the most incredible musicians in an orchestra, but without a competent and artistic conductor, it can easily fall apart, or just plain suck. Amazing.

[@emperialgeneralcommandpost9347]

Its all abou the flow, the conducter already set the pace, it just needs to flow again and as soon as he GO sets it in motion... It would of course be bizar to have orchestras working with a GO and no conducter, would be surreal. Or maybe a robot would do it heheh. :D COOL!!

[@kiranshegaonkar8080]

The 1982 Conan, the Barbarian movie is one of those few movies were the soundtrack is not made for the movie but the movie accompanies this absolutely amazing masterpiece from Basil Poledouris as the music is this composition is THE centerpiece of the movie, not the film itself.

[@maritimegardening4887]

[@valkyriesardo278]

Not quite. It is true this music can stand on its own and the film less so. That's true of most films and the reason silent movies are over. But those who have ever watched Conan the Barbarian cannot hear this music without the visuals of the movie dancing in their heads. The movie and the music are worthy of each other.
