Holst - Jupiter

Performing by Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra.
Eiji Oue , conductor.

[@AlexRViolinist]

3:53 That. That RIGHT there is what many, if not all of us musicians shoot for while we play in our orchestra. The moment where your conductor is in pure AWE of what he is hearing his orchestra play. That moment, where ALL of you are playing downright perfectly, not just that, the moment where all of you are connected, where every single human being around you is together. This, right here, is why we have music, why we cherish and love it more than imaginable. Music brings us together.:)

[@KyberEagleProductions]

Best version of Jupiter. EVER.

[@jsworld620]

Here here, it's De best ever original soundtrack too ever.

[@Oso_18_The_Bear]

Yes. You can say that again!

[@missfaba1781]

still listening in 2024, number one version!!

[@geoffreylomas944]

I was told that a conductors job is not to be a metronome. But to extract the right sound and emotion of the moment from his musicians. He uses the tools at his disposal to get it. Crescendos, de crescendos, accents, tempo, volume, etc. this conductor knows his job well. He has such high quality musicians which afford him the opportunity to focus almost entirely on sound and emotion. In some places he doesn't even conduct some of the beats in the bar, instead you see him expressing his emotions through his movements to engage the orchestra, "this is what I'm feeling, the sound coming to me is having this effect, keep it up".

[@heberlopez4942]

Exactly

[@neilious01]

When I was young, my brother convinced me their job is to keep the flies off the musicians

I love this conductor how can you not love him hahahaha

[@logodo]

I've heard about a dozen or so renditions of Jupiter from different symphonies/conductors over the years, and I have to say this one is my favorite. I've never heard the middle part of this movement played with so much expression. I'll give almost all the credit to the conductor, Eiji Oue. This is his piece.

[@TomWhaley621]

The theme at 3:06 is the most beautiful piece of music ever created. Chills every time. It exemplifies every emotion.

[@leobhanji5630]

I dunno about the most beautiful, but it's definitely not flawed.

[@adventurer365]

Certainly right up there.

[@JohnCatlett2]

I agree. It's impressive to see it in person when all the strings sway together, and the beautiful sounds they create...gets me every time.

[@TomWhaley621]

This video is not available in my country now..... Ughhhhh

[@materbater5596]

I dislike it.The beginning up to around 1:00 is the beef of the music for me

[@bamuz]

To this day the best performance available on KZbin still absolutely one of my souls favorite pieces

[@PP114114]

大植さんの気持ちよいテンポとメリハリ　そして大阪フィルの優れた表現力があいまった最高のジュピターですね。この演奏を生で聴けた皆さんがうらやましいです。

[@filsgreen]

Best version ever, both aurally and visually. If this does not move you to tears, you must be dead!

[@lauyalex123]

I can see in his gestures what Holst wanted to convey .

[@ze_rubenator]

I can hear in the music what Holst wanted to convey.

[@762forest_railway]

This conductor is a representative of Japan whose whole body expresses the command, and is the best part of this person.

[@dasylirionplays]

I think most musicians reach a point where it's hard to remember why we're doing it. I know I have. Six hours a day in a tiny practice room in the basement of a conservatory building. Going home with bleeding lips or blisters all over your hands. Is this really worth it? And then there are performances like this that bring it all back. Sometimes, rarely, there are moments when you lose yourself in a perfection, and it's all the more perfect because it's shaggy and swelly and everyone's sweating and barely holding on. (Well, the Osaka Philharmonic is a bit beyond the shaggy stage.) It's an out-of-body experience, only you aren't looking down on the scene, you're floating above it in a swirl of lights and sounds. And you truly understand what it means to be a part of something bigger. In 13 years, I've felt this way twice. And it's enough. Oue-sensei gets it. The world needs more people like him :)

[@thepoints6630]

is it reallly worth it then.....

[@dasylirionplays]

It's a tough question. I decided that it wasn't, so I dropped out of conservatory and started working in a totally different field. I like performing much better now that I'm not training to do it professionally.

[@thepoints6630]

+dasy lirion good for u dasy!!!!

[@jessicawatson891]

it's worth the thrill

[@jesa107]

Sitting in a room, no lights, pitch black, all by yourself. The pain you feel is second to none. After listening to this piece, however, I have felt a new level of pain. It hurts, but it hurts brilliantly. It's like nothing I have ever felt before. It resonates deep within my body, through my bones on so many different levels. I can feel my stomach churning and my heart skipping a few beats every couple of seconds. I can safely say that nothing has ever affected me like this piece in my life time. The room is all of a sudden getting less dark, and I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I've have escaped that dark room, which was but a metaphor for the dark times in my life. Thank you Holst, I owe my life to you.

[@remmyk5834]

jesa107 , you seem to describe a spiritual experience influenced by lovely music!

[@yuta7102]

Did you all notice that this was performed as an outdoor concert? It seems, probably at Osaka castle park. Yet amazing!! Best performance ever!!

[@murakami99]

What’s lovely about him is his impish humor, which shines out of his eyes, with child-like enthusiasm. No proper musician could dislike such a man!

[@Maryloohoo2]

Seen this hundreds of times now, totally in awe of the talent in the Osaka Orchestra and Oue. I wish there were more people on earth like Oue, a conductor filled with passion and reverence for Jupiter. I always tear up at the mid portion and can feel this work is bigger and greater than myself, a gift from God.

[@phillupson8561]

Whenever I want to hear Jupiter, this is the version I play, super.

[@quiseparatistumjunctionuno7212]

This is testament to the idea the music is nationally, internationally and worldwide an understood language irrelevant of what language you speak simply amazing xxxx

[@garysmith1592]

The Conductor cries feels all the emotion in the piece- beautiful. and performed beautifully..

[@walt3879]

Man that conductor is so passionate..

[@CarelessCapybara]

I love it when conductors get involved in the music. Amazing job, Eiji Oue

[@chill123180]

this conductor is a hero... He plays the song with his heart and with so much expression...people who are clearly blind should have at least a little respect for this spectacular conductor...

[@mrgreenhouseman]

This is the most brilliant performance of Holst's The Planets I have ever heard. I first heard it as a child and everytime it's just as exciting as the first!

[@akakgak]

I've searched for years to find another recording that captures the central choral part correctly. This is the one...

[@emilyinkpen]

This version is a masterclass in conducting. I come back to it time and time again and the connection to the piece from everyone involved is pure magic. Chills and tears every time. Bravo.

[@MrMymanalishi]

The guy obviously feels and loves the music.

[@Maryloohoo2]

3:08-4:52 is the heart and soul of this piece. Oue is directing until 3:50 when he is being pulled by the orchestra and he is in awe of both the orchestra and the music. I can't think of any other version of Jupiter that has this much feeling to it. Oue reflects something alot of people lack, passion. He and the Osaka orchestra joined together to create this great piece of music and they should be very proud of it.

[@tomfilipiak690]

Such brisks tempos and yet the light parts were light, smooth was smooth, etc. Excellent. Well performed.

[@pheelyfan1]

i nearly cry while listening too this.... i played this this year for my middle school band competition... we won, and i just love this song. my favorite song, not only classical, just overall, hands down.

[@drwuu596]

This is outstanding... No words to describe the talent of the musicians and this conductor Eiji Oue... It makes me cry. If perfection exists, then it has been achieved here. So much precision in the sound scope, in the crescendos, the volume... so much balanced, so much close to the inner emotion... If you go to Japan and can listen him, please do it for me.

[@insanerunner02]

This peice has the single best chorale in any orchestral piece of music. There are no words how to describe the amount of beauty in it. It brings grown men to tears. I love Gustav Holst! :)

[@elliothedgley6882]

This conductor is truly phenomenon, the passion in his movement is sublime. And this is the best rendition of this composition.

[@AlphaBlueye]

Jupiter is so calm, and slow and just my favourite

[@Terry59000]

Best performance of this magnificent music I ever heard.

[@Br1anSand]

I love this piece, and I really treasure the passion of the conductor. He's clearly understood the universality of the composition.

[@obandutra1]

the thing about this, is that you can tell how much effort was put into playing this piece and arranging it. After knowing it, they are just enjoying the preformance altogether. The conductor feels like a part of the players, since an orchestra is basically his instrument that he carefully has to identify each section, and to the others the conductor would literarly be lost without him. It's like an instrument in itself. It is so good that even the conductor is entertaining.

[@hissingsidll750]

Never mind the music... this guys passion for it is just something else....and who can blame him....one of the greatest pieces ever composed.... Conductor, orchestra, music in perfect harmony......it doesn't get much better than that

[@dfrog06]

[@euntaekzzang]

I like this conductor. Each conductor have their own style of conducting. I think his moves are more direct and enthusiastic compared to others. For example, Maestro Bernstein is very limited but sounds really clear and beautiful. Maestro Gergiev has really a lot of motions but also limited in some point; still makes GREAT music that many can't do. They are my favorite conductors because of their unique style. However, I think Maestro Eiji Oue is also great conductor because of his powerful and non-limited actions, and his direct conducting that everyone can easily comprehend.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

My heart was quivered by this song and play . This song gives me comfort and solace , and heals my tired mind and sorrow , and melts away my suffering and grief and pain， and purifies my stagnant soul .

Lindsay Fox-Revett I saw his face and I was like, “He feels it! He feels it too!” He feels exactly the same set of emotions that I do when I hear this song, in the same order and to the same degree. Luckily for me, he wore that information on his face, so I could be sure.

such passion in their playing, and the aggressiveness and enthusiasm of the conductor. It is so enjoyable to see people who commit so much to something they love. Reminds me of the talented young people I used to play with

[@alangoodfaith2262]

また聞きに来た。名演奏だと思う。

[@jotheseawolf]

Jupiter (and Holst in general) always amazes me, but the passion in this performance... it's beautiful. Good music can amplify emotions; great music can change and alter them completely. And I'm thrilled that technology has reached the point where it's possible to share this with people the world over. I just wish more of the general population held an appreciation for music such as The Planets; even without words, music has a myriad of lessons to teach us.

[@arablade49]

I'm nearly 50 now. My parents played me the whole Holst Planet Suite as a kid and I always loved it. Though what I really love about this clip is - apart from the beautiful music - the heart and soul that Eiji Oue puts into the conducting.

[@MissJordandy]

This is incredibly moving. That conductor LOVES music and you can tell that he is living out his dream at that VERY moment. Beautiful. Especially at 3:07 to 4:55.

[@umauni710]

この場にいた人がうらやましいでです。現代に比べれば宇宙の知識は限られていましたが、『木星』はスピリチュアル性にあふれ、特に曲の中間部分はかのダイアナ妃が愛した英国の宗教曲・愛国歌になりました。

[@mullerstick]

One of my favorite pieces of music of all time. I was a French horn player. and the middle of the piece was my favorite part. The conductor did an awesome job of letting the horns take over that section of the piece and making it soar. What a wonderful job. Usually pieces performed by ensembles from asia and japan, while technically perfect lack emotion. This however had both. I got goosebumps.

[@johnneill4039]
