Giuseppe Verdi's Il Trovatore Anvil Chorus

[@mowbrad86]

Now THAT'S how you conduct an orchestra! Watching this, makes me realise that he must have been in the absolute throws of MUSICAL PASSION. By the end, I don't think his hair could possibly take anymore.

[@MeticulousMuffin]

This is totally the heavy metal of Opera! Man, they are rocking out!! I would love to see the chorus mosh and sing at the same time.

[@paulopaulo1563]

Heavy metal of opera....great. it is. It is Verdi

[@pahknamo]

대단하다

[@theocrimby]

This is my favorite rendition of this piece.

[@circusitch]

Bob Ross does a great job conducting.

[@lucah1824]

I remember hearing this song through the onboard entertainment system of an Air France Boeing 747-400 on a flight from Montreal to Paris back in 2007 and 2009. God I miss those planes.

[@Miracle67]

È commovente emozionante e toccante rivedere Sinopoli volare appassionato nella gloria della musica di Verdi. Grazie per aver postato questo video dell' indimenticato Maestro.

[@francello75]

Grande Maestro Giuseppe Sinopoli!!! R.I.P.

[@hajimolatimes]

i love how dramatic this piece is!!

[@wwesonyfan]

conductor's har is awesome

[@PeterMc54]

Stunning- I would kill to be able to sing like that

[@Superegio42]

@TK2008BEST : Don't missinterpret what I said. I just wonder if the players are actually paying attention to him. I see the singers are, but not the instrument players. This is an AWESOMOE piece of art!! Love this.

[@proferrando]

I cori verdiani sono insuperabili! Comunque questo è il coro dei gitani, non il coro delle incudini..ah, e Sinopoli era un grandissimo.

[@toshirodragon]

@BigMrFirebird Oh hell YES! Lot of good memories tied up with those cannons, as the Utah Philharmonic always ends their free concert with it as the fireworks go off!

[@dwilawan]

Best Anvil Chorus.

[@lynettevanrensburg8525]

Love this!

[@BigMrFirebird]

@toshirodragon Just like how could one not love a piece of music that uses real cannons in it?

[@back2steel2]

the conductors' hairspray is really getting a workout.........awesome !

[@taboga1976]

Extraordinario coro como todo VERDI taboga 1976

[@magikarpolycarp]

The conductor is Giuseppe Sinopoli

[@SordidGuy]

Love the mullet at 2:28 !!!

[@odiousoddity]

2:10 audience going WILD!

[@toshirodragon]

@thomasjkeep That is indeed ALL kinds of awesome!

[@thomasjkeep]

@toshirodragon For a school concert we used a proper, massive anvil and huge hammers... 'twas awesome

[@GoldenKaos]

I'm here for the conductor's hair.

[@jeffrichardjr]

Verdi, Strauss and Tchaikovsky ❤❤❤

[@ladymosconi]

SUBLIME.

[@sagman68]

Man if the percussionist is off this whole song sucks. Talk about pressure. This is one of my favourite pieces of music

[@edcircusitch]

@Badgers0710 Thats a paint brush in his hand, not a baton.

[@edgardomasiris]

THIS CLASSIC MUSIC I LIKE ME FOREVER OKEY!

[@sjofu]

@Sunburn2007 yes it does look a little like him ,funny,I thought that I had a problem looking for lookalikes or someone you might have glanced somewhere?It's becoming a real bad addiction for me ,I spent days on the computer once looking for a guy in a Pace Picante salsa commercial from years ago,his name was Dubs Taylor ,an old familiar character actor that I knew I had seen in countless shows over the years!Same with music,if I hear a few familiar notes I have to find the song?

[@bassbabe411]

I didn't know Bob Ross conducted orchestras

[@ImagesByDavid]

Love it!

[@MarcoUgoRastelli]

0:39 Un violino entra tardi! Ma grandissima esecuzione!

[@SnowmanTF2]

@Superegio42 at most levels (especially the one they are at) most of the players should not have to look at the director the entire time to get the tempo. The should one be able to internalize it from the start and two the percussion section should be setting a clear rhythm everyone can feel. On transitions from one tempo to another they would get more focus.

[@circusitch]

@toshirodragon Conversely, I like to use a flute when I do my carpentry.

[@Sunburn2007]

At 0:27, is that Bill Maher in the lower right?

[@MrRopucha]

Loooove it :]

[@AntonioSaucedo22]

Cornell West? Is that you?...

[@Thrawn369]

CHI! DEL! GITAAAANO! IL GIOOOORNI! ABELLA?!

[@KREW32392]

Wow

[@toshirodragon]

Personally how can you NOT love a piece of music that uses real hammers in it?

[@shinobi99w]

i listen this song when i play gta lcs

[@Blackops981]

@daredevilXIII This isn't in Russian nor it has any Eastern European influence in it.

[@pharmabaghdad]

What they sing about? Any lyric in english please ?

[@tosand1]

Great Sinopoli ! Can you tell me who are the players and when has it been recorded ?

[@iLost815]

you can just tell that the dude on the triangle is going "oh god damn it i wanted hammers!>:(

[@Superegio42]

Is a conductor really necessary in this kind of act? Just wondering? I mean, everyone seems to know what to do.

[@GinEric84]

Superegio42 I suspect not, I think it is more an honor you receive after playing for a long time

[@margaux51400]

Bonjours ich, singe ich diese Musik in lécole und bin ich dann französisch, wenn das, ich entschuldigt, schlecht übersetzt ist!!! Danke

[@unpreeable]

i was like wheres dipset?

[@PrInCeShAdE1]

at 1:20 the anvil chorus start to begin

[@AncientOfDays]

What is the name of the conductor?????

[@krackenzap]

2:27 super mullet! lol

[@RandolphCrane]

I think the Conductor must use many bottles of hairspray to fix this hairs...

[@TK2008BEST]

@Superegio42 So u think conductors r useless?

[@methanbreather]

so.. Verdi was a rivethead?

[@EnTheosUsmus]

And the conductor is?

[@ralerajko]

stop hammer time on 1:19 hahahah

[@Badgers0710]

Bob Ross is conducting!

[@wwesonyfan]

I think of Italy.

[@peterfunboy]

Cutie spotted at 1:46 Epic mullet spotted 2:27

[@xleh00]

0:18 to 0:20 ----> 200 000 Volt

[@Mel684]

omg..me too....thats weird!

[@mezza205]

@ajatella lol yeah i love bob ross

[@rrochanevess]

1:19

[@JoacinoDaGona]

This is lacking actual anvils... you know the ones that TV showed me as kid.

[@ImagesByDavid]

Hi Ioana quite good yes? Glory to GOD.

[@Lugia625]

Crap! The director is having a seisure! D:

[@mrmotist]

Poydrav iz Srbije

[@clairvoyant82]

funny faces al over the video

[@SirDude456]

NO, I don't accept that sorry excuse for an anvil as being nearly enough, you NEED a real hammer and anvil

[@matiasromero3351]

:')

[@Tr33fiddy]

@iLost815 lol

[@kle114504]

Would have been cooler if they used an anvil.

[@realhardheaded]

i didn't know bob ross was a tenor

[@needmorebrain]

1:18 is pure sex...

[@ImagesByDavid]

And Folks say there is no GOD!??

[@GinEric84]

ImagesByDavid which one? As far as I and anyone else knows the god advocates have had about as much success meeting their burden of proof as advocates for leprechauns and pixies. Way to disrespect the amazingly talented man that created this though

[@ImagesByDavid]

Even leprechauns and pixes in the world of fantasy exist in time and space our God does not. All the logic points in the direction of an Intelligent Designer known to Mankind as God the Creator.

[@crazyman8472]

It's not the same without the Marx Brothers. ;)

[@ericstra2793]

No one plays the anvil like Harpo Marx!

gta liberty city

[@MrPhoenixQuill]

why do I think of Russia when I hear this song? Makes no sense.

[@KREW32392]

This song always reminds me of the Soviet Union.

[@jungoogie]

You wouldn't say this was socialist if there was no hammer banging on metal :P. Depends on your frame of thought for socialist songs. I would say "Imagine" is a socialist song haha! "Imagine no possession. I wonder if you can."-John Lennon in Imagine.

[@daredevilXIII]

this is too damn...communist! :D

[@BigMrFirebird]

The hammers are pathetic! Might as well use hamsters instead.
