Massenet - Le Cid Ballet Music

[@stewartgellatly8073]

This music by Massenet is the most sensational ever, and it could not be played better than by this Orchestra under its lively Conductor. There is nothing else quite like it in the world of music. It is breathtaking.

How good is this music ? There’s no words for it’s perfection.

[@johnmcgregor3530]

Magnificent in every respect. Composition Genius. Highly Skilled Arrangement. Dramatic Conducting and a brilliant rendition by all the talented players in the orchestra. Absolutely breathtaking.

I was at this performance. It was brilliant. Magnificent. No cuts in the score...and this opera is usually cut to pieces. How I wish the complete performance was available here.

Thank you.

[@johnmcgregor3530]

And well done whoever recorded it. The quality of the sound is excellent.

[@nathanphillips6172]

I performed this today as a Junior in high school and I will never forget it xoxo

[@kamranhussain2210]

Next week I am performing it with my Youth Orchestra. Great piece of music but very difficult!

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

You can never explain music and its effects on us, but this is full of colour sensitivity and magical orchestration. I've loved it forever. Lovely performance here. :--)

[@gilrose3895]

Glad you liked it Terry. It's a great score.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

@@gilrose3895 I can quibble wth some tempi. but it was beautifully played. I just love all the movements of that work. Thanks for posting the clip. :-)

[@kennethharrington7094]

This is just fantastic!!!! And omg that ending!

[@patdaley9098]

This is great. The performance is right up there with the big names!

[@fredojoaquim4764]

Great ballet music. Massenet is my favourite French composer.💟💫💌

[@johnmcgregor3530]

This magnificent ballet music by Massenet is not on the playlist of Classic fm Radio. Try writing to them, as I have, and ask them to install it. Your chances are slim but it's worth a try.

[@MusicTheoryInAMinute]

What a great orchestra! I truly enjoyed this performance. Nicely done Gil!

[@piano345]

Wow - love this music and performance.

[@waqasahmed3422]

Magic melodies!

[@gilbertoespitia3820]

Hermoso!!! Que la cultura musical nunca muera. Toda los conciertos!!! Millones de orquestas sinfónicas por todo el mundo. Que los poderosos se sensibilice. Es la mejor y más bella dedicación de recursos.

[@triniblack887]

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉Maravilloso.

[@franciscolopezus]

Wonderful Conductor and orchestra in a fiery presentation, which includes the 'Alza' (lift) at the coda.

[@noexisto4657]

Ole muy bonito me encanta

Espléndida la orquesta y la interpretación.

[@salaconciertos8991]

Los compositores del romanticismo francés, sucumbieron al encanto, el embrujo y el misterio de la música española. Massenet lo logró de manera insuperable. La Aragonesa es seguramente la pieza favorita de El Cid. Bravo!

[@InCa861]

Wonderful recording - what causes the conductor's reaction at 16:54?

[@Richard-b5r9v]

He reacted to someone in the audience saying something

[@noexisto4657]

Sabéis de alguien que toque el corno? Me ahorraríais un pedazo de transporte

[@hansrichardnohrer2834]

Gute musik

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I can see that this must be the New England Conservatory Orchestra, sounding superb, but who is the conductor, and what year is this?

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Gil Rose is the conductor. Odyssey Opera at NEC.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

I wonder how he got the backing to launch so many performing ensembles. What next, a ballet company?

[@summariuminfo]

Toda boa!

quel est l'orchestre et le chef. merci de votre réponse

[@fufriox]

Chef : Gil Rose. Orchestre : Odyssey Opera.

[@richardallen3810]

Love Massenet and his music which has been disparaged for being too melodic or saccharine. He was a genius drammatist, composer and though Wagner elipsed him in some respects his operas are still loved but his wealth of works remain unplayed except Manon.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Wagner was trash. He could not eclipse anyone. Werther has great music in it.

[@noexisto4657]

Igualmente suena muy bonito, mejor que nada

[@Dylonely_9274]

Opulent.

[@terryquinn1419]

Conductor doesn't look like Neemi Jarvi to me

[@valkonrad]

It ain’t 🤓It’s Gil Rose, director of Odyssey Opera.

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

Oh please-no clapping between movements. :-(

[@patdaley9098]

D'accord!

[@kamranhussain2210]

I performed 4 of the movements yesterday in my Youth Orchestra, and sadly there was clapping between movements. It wasn't as bad as the choir on before us, who were singing an abba medley and the audience clapped between songs (without breaks inbetween)

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

@@kamranhussain2210 So sorry to hear that. I'm in Australia and there is a growing tendency for music organisers to encourage capping between movements or pieces. It is part of the modern idea of letting audiences express their appreciation and enjoyment before the end. They seem to think this more relaxed attitude will make classical movement less 'elite' ad encourage younger people to attend. For me, the brief pauses between sections allows time for s little contemplation and to prepare for the often contrasting moods to follow. I hate the clapping beyond belief. Just because it was the custom in past centuries doesn't mean it's desirable or appropriate.:-(

[@aaronjorgefridman5662]

La música española es tan cautivante que llevó a muchos compositores extranjeros a componer "música española". Particularmente franceses, ( Ravek, Bisset, Massenet) pero hasta rusos como Rimsky Korsakov. La orquesta suena bien, pero filmar con una sola cámara fija está mal: muy pobre

[@ijifif]

Mucha gente aplaudió antes de tiempo jajajajaj xD

[@Tagorepedrozo]

Hermoso.ballet.lastima.que. o.lo.bailen.

[@sevtaptincer8194]

WHY does the audience KEEP APPLAUDING before it FINISHES. This is UNACCEPTABLE. It harms the concentration of the orchestra and the conductor.

[@KeithOtisEdwards]

Who are you? Gustav Mahler? Perhaps they are showing how much they enjoyed each movement? It's pseudo-intellectual snobs like you that have ruined classical music. Next, I expect that you will complain about the informal attire of the audience, as well.

[@alandouglas4959]

the conductor might as well not have a baton! hopeless stick technique.
