Holst - Jupiter

[@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.:)

[@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".

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

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.

[@RareEarther]

The best Jupiter recording of all. Top quality orchestra. Tempo neither too fast or too slow and the intensity is subtle and just right in all the right places.

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.
