Joe Hisaishi - Piano and Nine Cellos - Madness

[@chiijnu]

スリリングな曲調で各パートが真剣勝負って感じの緊張感がたまらん。 楽器の上手い人なら、この曲やるの最高に楽しいだろうな。

[@magurofan]

Doesn't matter that its played on piano and cello, this is heavy metal!

[@LindaEll89]

+magurofan Hmm...check then Vivaldi, the 4 seasons...really, speedmetal Baroque on violin, like speedmetal in the 80's. Sure that you can headbang on that. :-)

[@Holgast]

+magurofan You would like the band 'Apocalyptica', they play metal on cellos.

Oh my gosh... It's not often you see someone like Hisaishi put so much raw emotion into music.

[@unreon06]

When I hear that first chord strike, all that I can think of is: "DAMN!"

[@HolyAvgr]

Such an aggresive work, unlike most of his other work. Can this guy do just absolutely everything?! Awesome.

[@xXariassXx]

I can't even imagine how amazing this would have been to see live. So captivating.

[@NatalyaPlaysPiano]

I've listened to this arrangement so many times and never get sick of it. So epic!!

[@jwunschie14]

This is tremendous. Most any song with cello accompianists is very entertaining. For any cellists viewing this movie, you can clearly see that even the accompanying cellists have rather difficult parts! Intense piece overall.

[@jf520]

oh, my god~~The music is quite powerful. I am a tai-gi techer. When I hear the music, all the energe come from my body and make me dance. It is really incredible. Thank you for sharing!!

[@corcoprhat]

i don't know how many times i've seen this vid along with his other ones...but every time i re-watch it..it feels like my very first time...BRAVO JOE!!..ur music always makes me inspired! u seriously are a GENIUS at what you do...

[@nomar229]

Coming back to this in 2022. Bravo Maestro Hisaishi!

[@nomar229]

Guess what it's 2024. :D

[@PhuongNguyen82]

piano and cello, the two best instuments in the life

[@aurora860]

You forget the Viola... ;)

[@namedavornamedanach8643]

I actually prefer the erhu over the the violoncello, but piano is best.

[@dermango9769]

Hahahahahahaha jokes on you, literally loled as i saw this

[@julietaortega5053]

Yes! ❤️

[@julietaortega5053]

Aurora zafra castaño jajajaj XD 😂

[@MissLinable]

I love kids playing his music. But I adore HIM and his fingers....just thanks to him, I trained piano so hard.... just can't get enough..

[@MochaKimono]

I forget if I ever commented on this or not. If not, I will say now: Hisaishi has the Midas touch. Everything his fingers play is golden.

[@AnimeHolic3]

Their body language helps get the mood of this piece across as well. All in all, it is amazing and Hisashi is indeed a musical genius.=)

[@TimeWaitsForNone]

Hisaishi should be nominated for a Nobel prize in music.

[@syareeves]

Simply Captivating. Joe Hisaishi + a piano + 9 cellos and THIS HAPPENS!!

[@kimmikosan]

Even though I'm more than 40years younger than him, I still find his smile so incredibly captivating (after his no-less-than-extraordinary performance). ^^

[@Radgo16]

He not only has command over his piano, but also his companions, his music leaves you blinking with your mouth wide open, and just uttering words of amazement.

[@midime6]

actually Joe Hisaishi is not liked by critics (who are obsesed with classical music), but who the hell cares about it? He's just awsome!

[@InevitableTruth]

i adore the start of this song the way his hands fly off the piano and then he is able to just jump right back in with the rest of the people is amazing

[@iCraXahh]

I love the starting. :) It felt so intense... like a force that was so big that it pushed him back! The composition totally fits the title, "Madness". I have said this so many times but I still have to say it! JOE HISAISHI IS A GENIUS!

[@Radgo16]

He not only has command over his piano, but also his companions, his music leaves you blinking with your mouth wide open, and just uttering words of amazement. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS SONG?! I WANT TO PLAY ITT!

[@TitaniaIsFalling]

I don't know what sold me: the nine cellos, or Joe Hisaishi's name, but I am so glad that I clicked the link!

[@Ljudet_Innan]

"greatest composers EVER"...for you perhaps, let's not forget this kind of music is everything, a catalizer for "that" we are feeling inside of us....so, maybe it's just that you are really connected with this melody. Emotions don't think....why compare them...let's hear and joy.

[@chobiv7]

whoa.. the beggininning when Joe smashed his fingers onto the keys of the piano was just awesome. i'd like to go see him perform one day. he's awesome.

[@Lammergeier350]

I'm not sure if it's the way post-production was executed, but for some reason the piano he uses has the best tone and clarity I have ever heard. Everything is crisp, the resonance is beautiful, and the way it works in *ahem* concert with the cellos is absolutely amazing. Any way of finding out what the maker is?

[@mitsuki1388]

Well, 13 years late but since someone else might want to know, Hisaishi usually plays a Steinway Model D in his concerts and yes, it's one of the most beautiful pianos I've ever heard

[@DirtectedBy13]

i love when cellos go high up enough to sound like a violin or viola. its amazing how much you can do on the one instrument

[@scoopn]

Stuff like this should not have a dislike button. Seriously.

[@Soulfightersu]

I love this song! It's amazingly composed, and so upbeat whilst still being dark enough to send shivers down my spine :D

[@ColdFormedSteel3D]

This piece has been forged from the fires of win and read straight off the book of pure epicness.

[@narusku4]

It's so awesome when you see him strike the keys to begin it all - particularly when you see how much energy he puts into it!

[@JesseWilsonMusic]

This piece will always be one of my favourites in life - LONG LIVE JOE!!

[@BellaPeony]

Kind of cool to see all the bows, of the cellos, move at the same time. Very good pianist as well :)

[@yuumeko]

this sounds amazing ... quite a refreshing change from all the sentimental pieces out there

[@snatchingstars]

i love how he's just so happy to be playing his music.

[@OsamuNagano]

If I was correct, this music hadn't been composed for any movies. Miyazaki just adopted this for the mad scene, taking off from a river, avoiding many bridges! And Hisaishi has much hair on the picture of the album ;)

[@カルビン-w7h]

途中のチェロめっちゃ好き

[@vivibear]

He really likes what he does, he smilies every time he plays, you can feel his passion. He is such a genius and so blessed with his talent. His music is full of soul just like himself. I've been enjoying his music for a long time, but not until recently have I seen his live performance. I'm even more impressed by his personality.

[@batlin]

I love the powerful and natural arrangement of the cellos. It doesn't sound like 9 separate instruments. Great stuff!

[@xtine888]

His smile at the end is adorableeee. I love this, he's fantastic.

[@DennisLiu2]

this is one of the most amazing pieces i have heard the energy is just awesome

[@starrynight13579]

To know that true music still exists in this chaotic world. He is indeed an honourable man.

[@digimon916]

the guys on the cellos are badass too. such good timing...

[@Donato0]

this is a masterpiece of a song. This is a little gem I found when a friend of mine dropped a name. It bears repeating. This song is powerful.

[@MadHatterMCR]

His music always takes me to another world. Cellos are underrated too...

[@딸기공주]

진짜 이게 제일 멋있다 한편의 추리소설을 읽는것처럼 긴장감의 기승전결이 아름답고 카리스마있는 느낌

[@ttaattuuaaddoo71]

This song sounds so freaky. Great performance and for sure a great composer. Thanks for sharing.

[@raretrick]

just that first note alone took my breath away

[@RPVS07]

Definitivamente debe venir a Chile a dar conciertos.

[@Calvin1911]

I'm shocked there are so little views of some of these Joe Hisaishi pieces.. it's a shame.. he deserves more views by the world. Hopefully that means people are attending his concerts or they bought the DVD.. haha I'm actually trying to find his concerts.. pretty hard..

[@NikkiLahves1]

at the beginning it looks like Mr. Hisashi is being blown away by the impending awesomeness. True Story ;)

[@onepiece224]

Just want to know how is the feeling when you're playing that in an orchestra .. just awesome

[@kanashi0ame]

I love how all the celloists are bobbing their heads, this song rox!

[@IamJoeyyy]

Great song for a cellist and a pianist.

[@perfecttargets]

He is ef-ing insane!! WOW, im just blown awayyy... this would actually make a good boss fight theme for an RPG.

[@gcx1]

One of my favorite pieces by Joe Hisaishi. It accompanies beautifully that plane take-off scene in Porco Rosso.

[@canned3ggs]

his orchestral arrangement of this song is amazing

[@chak1o1star]

Madness...MADNESS??? THIS IS BEAUTIFULLL *tear*

[@galstafferoc]

I love how Hisaishi recoils from the first note. As if the awesome of his own music is too much for him to handle.

[@joscorner1015]

Wow! Really madness from the first drop of the note

[@subsystemd]

Porco Rosso, favorite Nyaasaki film. Awesome OST with the best interpretation of "Le temps des cerises" I've ever heard.

[@Serendipity-Infinite]

Just from hearing the first few notes, my heart jumped with excitement. This is amazing~!!!

[@MoMoChAn001]

its a rare thing to see/hear 9 cellos!!! voila cello!! ^^

[@mistdarklight]

i love the way he finishes!!

[@beto_vera]

hisaishi's music is the big big cherry on the pie when it comes to miyazaki's films.

[@angelstheses]

this song... joyful, gleeful happiness. great!

[@inkliizii]

Someone, I forget who, said this about Jimi Hendrix: "He's the only man I know who can make his guitar talk." I think I've found the only man on Earth, now or ever, who can truly make his piano not only talk, but sing.

[@ChickenCatzz]

I love the cello! It's so versatile *w*!

[@Gumeshemasyper]

Just... Wow... SImply amazing. I just automatically started clapping my hands after they finished.

[@litlelouis]

perfect title ! incredible music, these crazy loops so caracteristic of madness

[@SophiaKalo]

woah! hisaishi is amazing at composing AND amazing at playing the piano! he's also amazing at sending shivers down people's spines :D this is awesome! and the cello players are really good too!

[@Tekni]

I really feel the madness Hisaishi wanted to show there. This man is a god :D

[@SorrowOrSnow]

I don't really understand how some people can dislike this song... -_-"

[@yingdeviolin]

Joe Hisaishi is a legend. this is amazing.

[@professionaldaydreamer]

absolutely brilliant. wish i was at that concert....

[@flarknarkham]

Best comment ever! This song was the last one I listened to while doing my homework.. First time I had heard the song and this was my though exactly haha!

[@kristenrasmussen4135]

i didn't realize that my mouth was hanging open until the end, when the song ended and i shot my arms up yelling, "Woooo!" i like this song :3

[@ianjc121]

this song is perfect for when i'm thinking hard or pissed or depressed. at the moment im all 3. bravo joe hisaishi

[@sugarpokey]

He still is the greatest to me!!!! That was bad ass the moment he started!

[@HanyLee]

Wow An unexpected brilliant masterpiece by Joe Hisaishi. I love it though its much dif to his other pieces such as One Summer Day or Hana Bi. Amazing...

[@BraulioPech]

He's a minimalistic composer... simple scores, but full of energy and feelings.

[@divergence7680]

That is perfection! Joe Hisaishi for WIN!

[@pGFTuv]

again... and again.. and again... i'm dying to buy the DVD...

[@tuanonnasibuca]

hisaishi is a genius. he played so fast that sometimes i couldn't see his fingers...

[@cullg]

exceptional pianist.

[@saffri]

I'd love to go to his concerts!

[@jvi08na4]

The game version is from his another album which is concert live album. But permission is, I don't know. Originally, the reason why this song made is not to porco rosso. It is one of his albums "My Lost City". Not to film but Hayao Miyazaki liked this and want to use it when he listened this song. Sorry my bad English.

[@starbuggle]

Being so used to his (easily recognizable) work for Studio Ghibli, it's great to see a different, more aggressive side of him :)

[@tacs222]

This piece is absolutely amazing [:

[@aghaanantyab]

2:38 I like how he put the climax section with parallel fourth

[@shirahime23]

Another reason for me to love a cello-piano combo! Hisaishi-sensei ha totemo suteki na piano pureya desu yo neeeee! :D Cello player-tachi ha hontou ni subarashii! Kyaaaa~! Paradise! XD

[@SimonJamesMcClure]

omg this is to good WOW I THINK HE IS THE BEST i luove all his stuff it makes me so happy

[@WampaStomper]

what a great piece of music..classical at its finest!

[@WOuter4ZWL]

Like my sister we're totally in love with this music and have get to know it after seeing the movie Howl's Moving Castle, what's a great story with beatiful imaging.

[@Fladoodle3456]

FinallY! Some cello solos ONLY for Cellos! I'm so tired of playing my cello ONLY for background music while the violins and violas get the melody!

[@roborexasaurus1]

I love the intensity of the vibrato at 1:55-2:09

[@InevitableTruth]

that was simply amazing it got my heart pounding like something was going to happen and at some point i relized i had gotten so caught up that i had stoped breathing that is how wonderful this man is

[@cutevil]

I'm feeling an adrenaline rush. If only there's more of this kind of music. They would be best for my workout, better than any rock music out there.

[@murukku]

SO. GREAT. ive watched maybe 8 times now
