[@KatherineLund123]

[@merimusaev]

You guys played wonderfull

[@KeRico69]

+Katherine Lund Congratulations Katherine, all you guys are wonderful musicians.

[@wassimbejjani6793]

Katherine Lund Thank you for many hours of unadulterated joy. Your performance was stunning. I have not found anything close to it yet and frankly I do not need to. You guys had the final say

[@panchovillasclub6375]

muy bien felicidades, saludos desde méxico.

[@juvevalerio3240]

Katherine Lund did you ever played the Huapango???

[@SheylayamGullath]

Great British musicians, and great Venezuelan conductor enjoying great Mexican music! No criticisms, no difference, no nationality. Music should join us all together as in this video happens. Other conductors and musicians will endure like projects and will be honourable the same. Different season, different colours; the same human kind. As every person is.

[@xavierharovillareal533]

Totally agree!

[@davidcasillas6914]

@Azay Deelay My friend this piece it's 1000% MEXICAN greetings from jalisco México land of mariachis and tequila

[@luis25s]

@Azay Deelay Danzón originated in Cuba, and became very popular in other countries, but especially in Mexico. The eastern state of Veracruz has always had strong cultural and economic ties to Cuba and to this day you will find people dancing Danzón in public parks, and many "danzoneras". From Veracruz it spread to other parts fo the country, and in fact danzón remains more popular in Mexico than it does in Cuba. Arturo Marquez is a mexican composer, who says he was inspired by mexican "salones de baile" or dancing halls (such as Salón México) where danzón was the most popular dance. So yes, this is mexican music.

[@willon50]

makes me cry to watch british children playing a mexican master piece... GRACIAS NIÑOS (thank you kids). You are awesome.

[@netoxxo]

Music is limitless! How beautiful it is to think that for music there are no borders. A Mexican song played by an orchestra formed by english children and people from all around the world commenting and appreciating these kids' job.

[@XxevierX]

A mexican master piece with an incredible orchestra. Well played!

[@EduardocesarCabreranunez-wd3fv]

México, Gran Bretaña y Cuba son soberbiamente hermanados en la música. El danzón, aunque de origen cubano arraigó profundamente en México y es un baile cuyo antecedente más lejano es una danza campirana inglesa del siglo XVIII.

[@SuperMegguy]

i love Danzon n2!!!

[@MarieKrantz]

Merci, j'ai adoré !!

[@MoniqueChiron]

Un orchestre de jeunes, très professionnel ! Magnifique !! Merci Megguy pour ce très beau partage.

[@nutier]

c'est vraiment magnifique ! bon dimanche !

[@netogrimald]

Me pongo de pie al ver tocar a estos jóvenes... A gift from Marquez (Sonora, México) to all of us in the world...

[@jflow5601]

Marquez is a genius. This orchestra has the Latin rhythm and performed so well!

[@willon50]

Cada que escucho este danzón de Arturo Márquez, toca mi alma... no importa si es a manos de Gustavo Dudamel, Alondra de la Parra o esta orquesta infantil de Inglaterra... increíble!

[@bertacanales7046]

Muchísimas felicidades, desde Monterrey, Nuevo León, México! 🇲🇽

[@fernandopina63]

Felicidades por su interpretación. Saludos desde México

[@rosaliaavalos9131]

Me han hecho suspirar estos niños interpretando a México magistralmente.

[@EugenioGracia-du8oe]

existe un video de unos niños de mexico creo de Oaxaca tocando en el gran Teatro de Argentina te recomiendo lo busques

[@Oscarzunigal]

Una pieza de arte orgullosamente sonorense, bravo maestro Márquez!

[@doyoureally95]

The faith of humanity is restored: These young kids are very talented! I'm sure many will become professional musicians, kudos to the soloists! Amazing kids!

[@elbuenabner]

I almost cry!!! You guys are great!!! Wonderful orchestra!! Thank you !! I am mexican and I really enjoyed it!!

[@RG_326]

Is music UNIVERSAL or what? Awesome work by these British "children", performing & playing a great music by a Mexican Composer. THANK YOU Great Britain for giving the world such talented kids. KUDDOS !

[@johncena-wv9ry]

Raul G. Acosta music is a language that brings people around the world together :)

[@horaciomeb]

Soy Mexicano, y me da mucho orgullo que estas piezas sean interpretadas por orquestas en todo el mundo.

[@andygreaves364]

Have to say that was stunning. Watched Dudamel and the Venezuelan lot first then stumbled across this one and I was blown away by the standard of our young musicians. Those who were there will never forget it - just wish I had been one of them. Superb. And Charlie - no fake movements just losing yourself in the music, which is absolutely right!

[@trinivelazquez9193]

Maestro Márquez orgullosamente 🇲🇽

[@bradcoffey1836]

One of the greatest performances of this Marquez masterpiece by THESE KIDS! Amazing solos from the concertmaster, piccolo, tympani, percussionists, harpists...I could go on and on. Great conducting. WOW

[@josafatismaelperez4151]

Felicidades ¡¡¡ Maestra Natalia Luis-Bassa, ¡¡¡ Me emociona saber que una Magnifica Venezolana toque música mexicana, con una orquesta sinfónica de Gran Bretaña. WOW ¡¡¡

[@lillianlamar1654]

Beautiful piece

[@arturoherran4448]

I almost cried at the end, watching all these incredibly talented kids dancing and truly enjoying their own performance. Wonderful!

[@cinnamon78]

Great!! I just love the idea that the sounds from Mexico, and from Sonora are in these kids... my heart its moved... de Sonora para el mundo :)

[@EttasFavourites]

Amazing wonderful highly talented young people! I adooooore the clarinetist, playing with a so beautiful sound, so "easy" and convinced, concentrated, filled with self trust, and music. As all the other musicians: a delight to watch and listen, to feel the music in me, being united with all. Congratulations to all.

[@snoopyconquers]

Congratulations gays! I am mexican, and I feel a great emotion with you. Un abrazo desde México.

[@joseantoniotorrescazares9269]

Totalmente un orgasmo musical para mis oidos. Me es grato saber que el Maestro Márquez esté viviendo en tierras morelenses.

[@DiegoSanchez-kr5te]

PROFEEEEEE

[@josafatismaelperez4151]

Hermoso es ver a una Orquesta Británica de niños o una Orquesta Mexicana de niños tocar la música del Maestro Márquez, auténtica música mexicana. Congratulations children of Great Britain to perform this fantastic music ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Children as you, built a better world.

[@agosar]

Desperdicié muchos años de mi vida por no haber escuchado antes esta pieza.

[@marcoantonioperezmora1774]

Siempre es un placer escuchar la interpretacion de gente joven y con gran dinamismo muchas gracias❤

[@jrcblum]

Coisa mais linda, meu Deus! Meninos ingleses tocando assim, uma música mexicana, ritmo latino. Viva a música. Ela une povos !! Acho que o símbolo da paz não deveria ser uma pomba, mas uma clave de sol.

[@wassimbejjani6793]

This is hands down the best version of Danzon #2. I keep going back to it, and so do my 16 and 13 year old children, who just discovered it. What these kids did is beyond amazing. The boundless energy, the stunning sound, the sharpness of the rythms, the accuracy of the playing, and especially the tonal balance are unbelievable. Even the best orchestras have not delivered such a performance. The conductor Natalia Luis-Bassa made it all about the kids and not about her, and she deserves immense credit for the results she got. I wish I had been there.

[@prempatel1295]

Wassim Bejjani You should check out the Gustavo Dudamel recording. Personally I feel I can hear the orchestras confidence better in that recording. This recording is also very impressive for such a young band.

[@RhapsodyOfJoy]

Bravi, tutti 👏👏👏 when i close my eyes and listen i can't discern whether this beautiful performance is being played by such young people or a professional orchestra. Really really nice 💐

[@phoebusapollo4677]

Magnificent musicianship

[@ernestoalvarez6073]

¡Excelente, estos jóvenes ejecutan maravillosamente este Danzón N°2. Felicidades!

[@Amelia4144]

Lovely ! ! ! What an Orchestra ! Thank you, children. You are outstanding! An argentinian granny. Amelia.

[@rosimendez7010]

espectacular!!!! magnifica interpretación. Que jovenes tan talentosos, gracias Sra. Directora los llevó extraordinariamente

[@chukuri24]

Niños, pero grandes ejecutantes, son asombrosos. El maestro Márquez debe sentirse satisfecho ...

[@micheledescisciola9500]

Non ho parole, ragazzi eccellenti cui non si può che augurare un futuro luminoso come la loro musica.

[@mariicedeno8146]

¡EXCELENTE! ¡GREAT JOB! EL PICCOLO PERFECTO♥

[@armandosanchez691]

I 've heard this piece with different orchestras and I was delighted to listen to this one. Very young and talented people!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL

[@AudiophiliaChannel]

Remarkable playing and musicianship. The young man on clarinet gives Danzon No. 2 its most poignant and beautiful interpretation. And I’m including all the pro versions on KZbin. This group is simply amazing. Thank you, students, and thank your teachers and parents.

[@arelyrosas4090]

I love it ♥ Thank you so much for play our music, in Mexico we have a beautiful music tradition

[@Artuso25]

Ojalá la maestra Natalia siga perfeccionándose, y llegue a ser tan grande como Gustavo Dudamel.

[@jefb3]

[@rektangle1468]

Absolutely breathtaking.

[@tiger9152]

I'm in the under 13 this year and its so much fun to be part if this orchestra

[@luisjaimecuenca1554]

De las mejores ejecuciones que he escuchado en mi vida de esta obra maestra, con estos niños británicos. Excelente.

[@xavierharovillareal533]

I’ve listen to several orchestras with great conductos and I must say these kids played like the pros. Great job!

[@tatescreek12]

This is amazing!!! Great job. I'm from the United States and my high school youth orchestra played this. Great performance!!

[@discobaby795]

Seeing the dedication and the PASSION of these very young musicians playing this piece of art gives me goosebumps and tears of pride and joy as Mexican. Bellísimo. ¡ B R A V O ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dannysampson615]

We did this at my school when I was in year 8 It was one of the best pieces we'd ever played

[@ericleung3044]

So am I, the spring course was really fun - danse bachanale was the best piece ;) Can't wait for the summer course

[@gulag19]

Sooo beautiful!!! Thank you from Madrid! Beauty is always needed and welcomed; now even more. Gracias.

[@RafaelLopez-kq9mf]

WOW!!!! I'm so amazed by this performance... I don't know how difficult may this piece be, but these young musicians play like real professionals. A little bit fast -for my own personal taste- but I can understand, they all are so young and full of energy... Absolutely amazing.

[@kimjarvis7355]

They are outstanding!! It is a tad fast though, almost like it’s been sped up. I wonder why they decided to conduct it like that? I couldn’t imagine trying to dance to some of the parts. Too fast for a quickstep even 😅😅 Doesn’t take away from any of their talent though 😮😮

[@ncoviolasehee]

I love this so much!!! haha it's been my favourite piece since very young and NCO!!! you sound amazing guys!!XD and hopefully well do something amazing lyk this dis yr...:) lol well done NCO and hope to see some of u next year!!!

[@missc.8188]

I love this piece of music and you guys did an amazing job! Congratulations!

[@panchovillasclub6375]

no hay duda, son niños profesionales, tocaron muy bien, felicidades por esos talentos.

[@AndresSalazarAutos]

At least the trumpeter seems to me enjoying himself quite a bit... I enjoyed it a lot, I am Mexican and this masterpiece I know since I was a kid, and to hear it from foreign Orchestras just makes Mexico feel proud of its long heritage!

[@Gabrielamar24]

Buena ejecución de estos chicos; la pieza de Arturo Márquez siempre es un festín para el oído, hermoso danzón con sones veracruzanos. Un verdadero patrimonio del arte. México siempre estás presente.

[@olivervogel5134]

Grandiose Darbietung. Tolle Dynamik und mit viel Herzblut präsentiert. Auf das Stück bin ich durch Mozart in the jungle gekommen. Nachdem ich diese Interpretation gehört habe, habe ich mir das Stück gleich auf Amazon gekauft.

[@corrosyon]

Those kids are awesome, so talented, God bless to all of them.

[@cesarvelez15]

I couldnt stop watching this.

[@angelrodriguezsanchez5101]

Hermosa interpretación de estos chicos, son geniales y lo más interesante que se lograron conectar con los ritmos y sintieron la música, bravo, bravo . ..

[@louquatorze]

Alors là ,j’avoue que ,connaissant assez bien les difficultés de synchronisations des différents instruments,je suis tout à fait agréablement surpris par la qualité d’interprétation.Même si leurs plaisirs de jouer ensemble est discret, cela transparaît.Je ne connaissais pas cette formation musicale et je suis heureux de la découvrir.Encore un grand bravo et merci .Continuez à transmettre des émotions musicales .

[@jesusmunoz3568]

¡¡¡Ha bárbaros!!! genial

[@GuillermoMarioCervantesGuerra]

[@ignaciourena5692]

Hermosa interpretacion! ! thank you ncogb!

[@Camila_Mex]

Gran ejecución y tan jóvenes. Tienen un gran futuro seguramente

[@rogergalay566]

He escuchado muchas versiones de esta obra y para mi gusto está dentro de las tres mejores, en cuanto al sentimiento creo que por el solo hecho de meterte a estudiar musica, a la edad que sea, es porque tienes el sentimiento mas desarrollado que el común de las personas, seas chino, latino o anglo; a no ser por algunos pequeños detalles pero eso ya es de gustos personales y no defecto de interpretación, mas bien es como lo entienda el director en turno pues el buen músico debe acoplarse a lo que le pida el director, saludos. El pequeño silencio en el minuto 6:07 es perfecto, cosa que en otras versiones no se le da

[@ncogb]

We’re glad you asked - muting a tuba gives a special colouring to the sound produced, that cannot be achieved by simply playing more quietly.
