In the 1960s a strange Italian guy, Sergio Leone, decides he will make Westerns without ever setting foot in the US. He gets an unknown song writer, Ennio Morricone to write the score. In 2018 The Danish National Symphony honors them with this concert.

[@fabbel1913]

Leone Morricone, the perfect combo ❤

[@spartakdauti9783]

The Legend Ennio Morricone , RIP .

[@ingridgonzalez9048]

The Mission and Cinema Paradiso OST more musical beautiness.

[@philip4588]

If you watch his bbc documentary, this song was made of a older song and he added some of the element the movie producer wanted

[@clivemason-ms8ju]

Spaghetti westerns were made by Italians but usually filmed in Spain. Great reaction, guys.

[@kenbo80]

Everyone who listens to this gets goosebumps. Amazing.

[@Drinckx2]

Morricone was a brilliant film score composer. Spaghetti Western because they are made by Italian directors and Italian studios. The 'Dollar' trilogy was mainly filmed in Almaria in southern Spain (as a substitute for the American West). By the time Leone had moved on to Once Upon a Time in the West - one of the greatest films of any genre ever made - he shot much of it in America, in locations such as Monument Valley, because of their association with the great John Ford westerns shot in those locations.

[@Dennis-DK2]

*Almeria, Tabernas to be exact.

[@zimjun7]

John Ford!! I'll be "dern!" 👌💢❣

[@danielasantini5701]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJTNqGCbr62aiZIfeature=shared

[@TugarunnerLx]

​@@Dennis-DK2yes!!! The filming location is a living movie museum with all our 70s and 80s cowboy heroes. Live shows recreating famous scenes from the films. Look it up on the internet, it’s fabulous!

[@antonlb143]

Wow I wasn’t prepared for that 😳 that was insanely impressive

[@KratterDK]

Our danish national symphony orchestra, is absolutely one of the best in the world, and im so proud to be a dane, when i see your reaction! Im glad you liked it! :D

[@rollotomassi6232]

If the DNSO doesn't come to America I will come to Copenhagen. It's on my bucket list.

[@kentbroegoldschmidt5124]

As a Dane i also feel proud of this orchestra.. Look them up they have also done more filmscores and computergame music..

[@bumbleandprincess]

Yes, you are so right my friend, a national treasure and a credit to your country. Not only one of the best westerns of all time, but also one of the best soundtracks. Best version i have ever heard and sends chills up my spine. Thank you for the post, top 3 You tube videos of all time. Much Aroha (respect) to your orchestra / country. Big Jim New Zealand. Ps, would love to see them come and play a concert 'down under'.

[@KratterDK]

@@bumbleandprincess I totally agree with you! They have played so many legendary songs now, from any genre! That's amazing! I cross my fingers for, they will visit you guys down under! ;)

[@KratterDK]

@@rollotomassi6232 We will welcome you! :) Copenhagen is a great place to visit.

[@bubamaranovichok4901]

Guys,same Orchestra, same composer but a different movie. Once upon the time in the West sung by a young lady will blow your mind!

[@johncrwarner]

Spaghetti western were western produced by Italian film companies and mostly filmed in Spain as Spain has many climates and some near desert conditions ideal for representing SW States of America.

[@johncrwarner]

There were also a series of German language westerns called Sauerkraut Westerns which were produced in Germany but filmed in Yugoslavia now Croatia, I think. Not particularly famous for their music though.

[@ChrisEchoes]

It is called spaghetti western because they were in most cases either made by Italian film companies and / or Italian directors. Sergio Leone is the most famous of them, but coincidentally he shot a lot of his westerns in Spain.

[@puncheex2]

The movie was released in December of 1967 - I was in college, and it was so different from everything else on the radio at the time. As best I can remember, this version is very close to the original soundtrack; the galloping guitar rhythm, the bird calls, and all the rest. This cut is actually two pieces from the film: the Main Title, and "The Ecstacy of Gold". The instrument is called clap boards. Also heard was an ocorina (the medium register bird sounds) and a recorder.

[@bashab3098]

Humans collaborate unbelievably ❤❤❤

[@shakkazbra4984]

The guitar riff gives memories of me and my dad watching all Clint Eastwood movies. Fist Full of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, Hang’m High

[@anthonyl.6879]

Ennio Morricone was one of the best composer of all time. Listen to any of the others compositions he did.❤...you will understand

[@Gr8Buccaneer]

anyone else closed his eyes and saw clint riding a horse,wearing a poncho and smokes a small cigar?

[@joecachia2]

The genius of Ennio Morricone along with the sheer talent of this orchestra . Cannot get any better . Its just perfection. I well up , every single time.

[@prutgardin666]

I live a mile from where they perform, so occasionally I will go watch them live ;)

[@kehdepermit]

The 2nd song beginning at 7:50, The Ecstacy of Gold, is one of my favorite movie soundtrack scores. No one could have come up with that for a scene with Tuco running through the graveyard except Ennio Morricone.

[@PainInTheS]

Lucasarts, the game division of Lucasfilm (Star wars) did a cowboy/western first person shooter back in 1997, called 'Outlaws'. The music in that game is VERY remiscent of 'The ecstacy of gold' and actually all music from these Spaghetti western movies and truly great.....the game takes lots of cues from the old westerns and the protagonist is a cartoon version of Clint Eastwood, very obviously so. I LOVED playing that game! The music can easily be looked up on yt. The sawmill The last gunfight Those 2 tracks immediately have you think 'The ecstacy of gold'. But that whole game soundtrack is a masterpiece of its own, an ode to the Morricone western music.

[@bhurzumii4315]

Even though I normally hate them, there's an excellent drum & bass remix of the track here on YT. Very, very infectious tune that'll be wedged in your brain for days!

[@giuliogrifi7739]

In my opinion, The Ecstasy of Gold is just a cult piece of music. I put it in the same ranking as, let me think.....LIKE A ROLLING STONE (Dylan), SHE LOVES YOU (Beatles), JOHNNY BE GOOD (Chuck Berry), MY WAY (Sinatra), GIMME SHELTER (The Stones), 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (soundtrack as well), MOONDANCE (Van Morrison), THE PROMISED LAND (Springsteen) and so on !!!

[@vaughnmichael5114]

Hey Blondie! You know what you are? Your a Son of a Wah Wah Waahh.

[@gerardcote8391]

Now you got to watch the movie. It is considered one of the best movies ever made.

[@larswolter669]

Thank you to Ennio Morricone for this amazing music. Thank you Italy! Greetings from Denmark

[@edwardonion5331]

Loving the music,can picture every sense from the movie,one of the great writers movie composer,Ennio Morricone 🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@spacefanatic]

You should also watch 'Procul Harum' sing 'Whiter Shade of Pale' with the Danish Symphony Orchestra at a concert in Denmark.

[@josemexicano1910]

"Procol Harum", yes, you should do this reaction.

[@edithdriver2094]

Yes 👍

[@IanDarley]

Most spaghetti Western were filmed in the Tabernas Desert in Spain because the scenery is very similar to the South West US, they were so named because they were directed by an Italian director.

[@willeforsberg]

Music at a high level !!!

[@PhilTheProf]

I had the pleasure of attending an Ennio Morricone concert in London. Simply Magnificent.

[@jamesdodger5588]

It is such a joy watching both of you react to music.

[@scottnorvell2955]

Andre is right about the spaghetti! 😂

[@jaybradley9083]

The Wa Wa woman is Tuva Semmingsen. She is absolutely brilliant in Once Upon A Time In The West, played by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. You really need to check it out.

[@rabmcaleer8903]

You two are such a joy to watch your reaction ❤️

[@cdmann]

Just want to say, you guys do a great job!! ANY HOOO 👏👏👏👍👍✌️

[@petrichor649]

I cry when the soprano sings 😢 near every time, such perfection.

[@silverblack5874]

E ci credo..Queste musiche fanno andare in estasi ed in esaltazione totale qualsiasi individuo..Ennio Morricone è stato uno dei più Grandi Compositori Musicali di tutti i tempi.. Purtroppo di questi geni come lui non ne nasceranno più..

[@fabbel1913]

That’s was perfection from danish orchestra !! Thanks for youre reaction ❤

[@daveymcdowell8352]

Hi, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and it was my first time seeing you. It's Ennio Morricone at his best scoring a Spaghetti Western. Known as such because it was shot in Italy using Italian money, with an Italian director (Sergio Leone) for a Western audience. Watch the trilogy and enjoy the scores. All magnificent.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 LOL, the gentleman clapping the two pieces of wood together, was recreating the sound of a Whip used to drive the horse wagons ! The DNSO has over 70 members in their Chorus and over 100 musicians in the Orchestra !

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

About a year before he died, Ennio Morricone actually gave a concert in Copenhagen and I do hope that at least some of the musicians from this performance where there to give him applause.

[@HenryCabotHenhouse3]

While the spaghetti westerns were made by Itallians (thus spaghetti),. they were mostly filmed in Spain with an international cast.

[@thomasripley1548]

I think as a musician it would be so fun to do...such a change from what they usually play.....

[@pharol]

I saw them live three days ago for the Raiders of the Symphony concert. It was a blast as always

[@Uncle-Charlie]

The movies are excellent!!!

[@helfgott1]

You guys just made me feel GOOD thank you from germany 👍👍😍😍❤❤😃😃

[@agffans5725]

It's the DR1 (and National) Symphony Orchestra, which is the Danish equivalent to the English BBC1 Symphony Orchestra, so their mission is not to push or provide a special brand or "taste" in music, but all about providing top quality public service to make all who watch and listen, and not least children and younger people get a taste for this kind of symphony orchestra music, also for educational purpose and to "nurture" their development. So they do quite a lot of film, TV and video game music.

[@stever7732]

Tuva Semmingsen, the ‘Waa Waaa’ lady, is a fine mezzo-soprano, which you can hear on another of that orchestra’s spaghetti western performances, ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’.

[@larsblakrasmussen5820]

Goose-bumps all over!

[@davidmarcus5833]

As a boy his music blew me away and now still takes me to a far far better place. Luckily I got to see him with my 4 kids at the O2 with full orchestra and choir, then his son, a tribute concert also at the O2. The greatest Film score composer by far and up there with Mozart, Beethoven.

[@ianarnett]

Who on earth is the lady singing the tones and whistling. The one with the short dark hair and wavy on top? Amazing talent and beautiful.

[@armchairwizard8613]

Her name is Tuva and she is an accomplished singer and performer with this orchestra.

[@scoobysnacks]

The Danish National Symphony does a lot of these movie theme songs, and every one I've seen has been fantastic.

[@ChrisEchoes]

There are tons of more videos from this orchestra with music from film, stage and videogames. The wah-wah lady does a stunning version of Queen's Who Wants To Live Forever in one of those videos. She doesn't make us forget the great Freddie Mercury but she has her own, femine, spin on it.

[@berndvonaschwege2525]

I noticed Tuva Semmingsen (the "wah-wah Lady") is wearing a pistol earring! Stay save with distance! Wir sind mit ABSTAND die Besten! 😷😷 Bernd (4x💉BionTech, one week Corona, easy flow)🇺🇦

[@jerryadams6799]

You should check out Rianna Russu ( a young Romanian girl) covering it. She channels Freddie- not only in her vocals but in her dressing, hair style and her emoting. it's as if she is Freddie for this song (Who Wants To Live Forever. ) it's an awesome cover but it's pretty scary at the same time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWjSqKxvqpian7s

[@hardboiledharry4061]

This is brilliant beyond belief, it's one of the few things I'd pay $1,000 to see, everything they do is amazing. The Wah Wah lady, Tuva Semmingsen (born 13 January 1975) is a Norwegian mezzo-soprano and coloratura singer. She's amazing and listen to her other songs she does with them. She's wearing gun shaped earrings too. You're listening to 2 pieces of music from the movie, Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) wrote it along with many other film scores, the man IS a legend and rightly so, this is the last movie of a trilogy, all known as "Spaghetti Westerns", A Fistful of Dollars (1964) For A Few Dollars More (1965) and this film (1966) all scored by Ennio Morricone and all directed by legendary Italian director Sergio Leone (1929-1989), both composer and director have had a massive influence on many other composers and directors, also Christine Nonbo Andersen, Danish soprano vocalist, born 1985 was also amazing.

[@luckylady7542]

Hear their greatness again. Whiter Shade of Pale with Poco Harem. Simply amazing.

[@PainInTheS]

I have seen many concerts, but regret not going to Ennio Morricone while I still had the chance. There is no humour in this.....this music is everything, these movies are everything. Once upon a time in the west is even better, that's the best movie ever made, best filmscore ever, most beautiful woman ever with Claudia Cardinale. Hearing this music immediately sends shivers up my spine and my eyes get wet. The melancholy it evokes in me is off the charts. I must have seen those movies a 100 times.....cinema perfection and the music that goes with it is of equal beauty. Never ever will such perfect films be made again.....there's one every once in a while that comes close, but nothing will ever surpass. The grandiosity of the music is of the same caliber. What a joy!

[@arnodobler1096]

This concert was... Something ❤

[@armchairgravy8224]

"Symphonic Whistler" is the best job ever.

[@steveschaff4620]

Brings TEARS to your eyes!😢 It's so AMAZING how so many talented Musicians and Singers can come together to bring a GREAT WORK like Ennio Marconi's MASTERPIECE to life! I've been a Pop/Rock Composer, Musician, and Singer for DECADES, but with the exception of the Beatles, nothing blows me away like an orchestra! BRAVO!!

[@falcon215]

Beautiful music.. even if you don't know the movie it evokes a tremendous emotional response.

[@deanadewall8400]

I'll always love the soundtrack from this movie. I spent hours listening to it when I was a kid.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Yes!!! Trust me, their other covers are just as fantastic, LOADS more to listen to !! they are Amazing!

[@percyprune7548]

4 Australians formed the Spaghetti Western Orchestra and were brilliant at Morricone's music, toured the UK. Unfortunately now defunct. Brilliant musicians.

[@TenCapQuesada]

I think you may enjoy the short video by the Danish National Symphony Orchestra in which Tuva Semmingsen (the wah wah lady) and Christine Nonbo Andersen (the soprano) talk about themselves and this recording. They also include short clips from other reactors.

[@Vuotoassoluto]

a piece of Italian history....proud of that! 🤍

[@josephsmith9059]

The orestration was so over the top❤❤❤

[@rayvanhorn1534]

What a magnificent piece by Ennio Morricone & performed so well by this group of fantastic musicians. So glad you did this, the joy this brings is evident by your smiles

[@horstschafer1839]

Watched it more than a 100 times. Everytime the same feeling. Pure Greatness!!!

[@tammyphxaz]

all of these musicians i would say, began as young children, to be this caliber of musician requires a lifetime of dedication and training, im sure there are a few "gifted or genius" ones in there but the majority of them have dedicated an entire life of training, recognize all of this talent for what its worth

[@yvesdmu]

i heard this several times and it still gives me goosebumps. superb

[@xiurong888]

Percussionists play all sorts of instruments. The wood clapping is called a slapstick.

[@SG-js2qn]

The Sixties were pretty creative. This came out in 1966, back when the Beatles topped the charts. A lot of wordless vocalization in this piece, a bit like what you'd find a few years later in Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky" (1973).

[@leeclarke917]

What a beautiful couple and a beautiful reaction video. God bless you both.

[@RGMyers24]

Morricone performed by the DNSO is awesome. Two great musical treasures! And of course, we can't forget the great Sergio Leone, Bravo!

[@andreanascimbene8259]

WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO ITALY!!! ENNIO MORRICONE AND SERGIO LEONE CREATED THIS MUSIC AND THIS FILM. THIS KIND OF FILM ARE CALLED SPAGHETTI WESTERN CAUSE THEY ARE FROM ITALY! ENNIO MORICONE: A TRUE MASTER.BOTH UNFORGETTABLE...GOD BLESS THEM!

[@MLawrence2008]

The Ecstacy of Gold (2nd part) is in my opinion the best musical score put to film (Tuco running around the graveyard scene) in history, EVER! Just wonderful!

[@HarryLime49]

That's it, I'm getting the dvd player warmed up and re watching the movie for the 500th time.

[@Godard92]

Morricone was a genius, glad you reacted to one of his many masterpieces.

[@cdfdesantis699]

The magnificent classical music has inspired SO much of our modern music, & will continue to do so, as long as humans make music. Thanks for your reaction.

[@markuslusch568]

Oh yeah, your Journey through all Genres continues, you´ve found such a beautiful peace of Quality again, and so we meet again, love it, all the best! Big Hug! 💝

[@Jan_Seidel]

I *LOVE* their gig, where everybody ate strong chilli before starting to play up 🤣

[@AndyJayroe]

I'm not even a big music person, but I find this mesmerizing. Amazing performance.

[@normcummings1967]

To two of my favorite reactors, I loved seeing the pure joy, deep appreciation and, yes, astonishment, at witnessing and hearing what may now be my favorite music video. Thank you for sharing your honest, unbridled bliss... I and countless others feel the same! Cheers, my friends.😍😎

[@lindablair-rk9vr]

Phenomenal ! Such talent! Whoever thought to bring these wonderful singers in with this orchestra was pure genius! So beautiful ! Have a great day and God Bless!🐢

[@johncrwarner]

In Bielefeld we have a film music festival where they show silent films with a live band or orchestra playing music to the film. It is powerful experience to have the film playing and live music playing.

Hi, I´m from Denmark and I love your reaction. Every time I watch reactions to this video, I get chills. They are amazing and I´m so proud of them. You should really check out more from them. They have done the Twin Peaks Theme too 🙂

[@MrLeadb1]

Hard to believe that Ennio Moriconne had this in his head and passed it on to an orchestra....mind blowing music!

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Masterful.

[@xerezjg52]

A symphony is an exercise in musical coordination and perfection. Practice, practice, practice, then for a brief moment in time you go before a live audience and in one take, no autotune or gimmicks you do it right! Most of us may have heard the music and most of us may have seen the movie, but watching how the music is created is truly a magical experience. On a TV or computer it is a visual treat, when you see it performed live, the music envelops you and the true power of the instruments and choir overwhelms the senses. Thank you for your reaction, I love you guys, the chemistry you seem to have together is beautiful!

[@Florence-kn3dq]

Still wondering why everyone react to this orchestra and not to the Ennio Morricone‘s concert where he were the director. It’s perfection! Susanna Rigacci sings with passion, not just with academic way they have in this video. Morricone for ever❤

[@dagmar.6954]

The Danish National Symphony is great. I grew up watching all the spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood. I absolutely love all the theme songs from them. I have the "Hugo Montenegro" version doing all the theme songs (A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More & The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Hang 'Em High) on record & on cd. It is one of my favorite albums.

[@ledzep331]

Ennio Morricone was one of the best modern composers. The Ecstasy of Gold, it's so spiritually uplifting!

[@antoniocarlin5026]

"Sycamore Tree" from Twin Peaks is my fav version with the Danish Orchestra! ❤

[@scottnorvell2955]

I was hooked on Twin Peaks back in the day.

[@matzek.3220]

They are really great and after hearing this I bought the BlueRay of this concert called The Morricone Duel. It is an experience and masterclass musicianship!

[@sloot69x]

The Halo Trilogy by them is spine tingling.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

They also covered music from Starwars Rogue One, i remember when i installed new speaker cables and some other stuff it was the first thing i listened to, because it just came out, it Literally made me cry, so so beautiful. from a technical pov, yt is mostly crap audio, but these folks have excellent sound as well. and camera work etc.
