Wonderful performance of one of the greatest of all classical pieces. The one person who disliked this should have their KZbin access revoked.

The performance would be absolutely stunning *if the video director actually did a good job and was able to show the entire movie properly rather than whatever this is* absolutely stunning orchestra though

Paul Barrett is right, twice. Excellent performance! - but the video director thinks multiple extreme closeups of trombone and tuba bells is somehow important. Not to mention unmusical, eg the trumpet solo at 13'54" where the video director totally ignores the big trumpet solo, finally gives us a few seconds of the principal apparently by accident because he then rudely cuts away to a shot of about 1/4 of the violinists for no reason. And at 15'28" we get to see the percussionist preparing for the bell part, but just before he actually plays, the director cuts away to trombones and then to one violinist! And the endless idiotic extreme closeups of knuckles, trombone bells, one bass bow, bald heads, the plumbing of one horn, or just 3 of the 4 horns! Why crop out the fourth horn player? And when all 14 trumpets are playing we never get to see more than half of them, sometimes only two! And there is never even the slightest sense of how the players communicate with each other or follow the conductor. This trash would fail basic film school. Maybe the director hates music. Certainly he should be set cleaning latrines instead of ruining music videos.

Well played but the video director needs to find a new job. Maybe something he has a talent for.

maybe he or she had trouble reading the orchestral score?
