Thank you for conducting emotion

[@Dylonely_9274]

I love Verdi’s music, great performance.

[@sjos1726]

YESSSS CIMBASSO! Low brass sounds like a freight train. So gooood!

[@Acquacheta]

I believe that this fantastic and scenografic interpretation would be liked also to maestro Verdi. Greetings from Modena, Italy.

[@SnipeHear1]

A spectacular performance!

[@jonathanogle5539]

My college orchestra is playing this. Not going to lie, I am having to spend hours in the practice room to get those runs in tune and up to tempo.

[@robonv1]

saluti da S. Agata,paese di Giuseppe Verdi. la sua casa è qui a 200 metri e ogni giorno la vedo e provo emozione.

[@robonv1]

Greetings from St. Agata, the village of Giuseppe Verdi. his house is 200 meters here and every day I see and feel emotion.

[@vitalwellness-q6o]

Love this performance 😍

[@douchedouche6977]

a middle school kid played this with his youth orchestra and it sounded superb !!!

[@zoeziebell2031]

That was awesome. I am playing this in one of my youth orchestra's and I was just trying to get a feel for the piece. This is amazing.

[@alancary6917]

Zoe Ziebell I’m playing this piece in youth orchestra too!!

[@0me0my1]

What a great orchestra!

[@AmadoDom]

VAYA, felicidades a esa increible sección de bronces!!!

[@shawnbuck829]

Beautiful clarinet solo!

[@aghacege]

Detalhe: a iluminação acompanha o desenvolvimento da abertura e chaga ao auge no vermelho sobre todas as pessoas tanto no coral quanto na plateia. Maravilhoso!

[@ChromeBasket]

[@davidholmes4635]

Quite a concert. I was looking for Alan Gilbert's mother, but couldn't see her.

[@brooklynnbaby113]

My high schools wind ensemble is playing this and I'm super excited to see how it turns out.

[@MewTimesTwo]

I bet you guys are gonna sound great!

[@crazitaco]

I played this in my symphonic band senior year. This piece was insane, definitely the most difficult thing I ever played in school. Clarinets 1 get all the violin parts, which are extremely awkward to play on clarinet because of the high range and the fingerings.....

[@crazitaco]

I can't remember since its been a couple years, but I remember that it was indeed in a different key.

[@TubaWorld]

It is a cimbasso played by Alen Baer, the tuba player of NY philharmonic.

[@24RulezJG]

I was at this concert!!!!!!!!!!

love maestro !

[@benpetree5966]

4:40 for all state violas

[@jamesgray8191]

me and my pal olive think it's ace! Keep it up guys

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

That is actually a Cimbasso! Common in this period and still used in the orchestras for Operatic scores.

[@emiliolagazio6994]

W Verdi W l'Italia e la sua musica

[@mycaperuzita]

J'adore

[@Napthasone]

Bravo!

[@michaeljimenez3658]

4:04 gives me chills

[@Lordran__]

Yeah, such a beautiful melody

[@sebclax5073]

playing this in my brass band, violin parts weren't meant to be played on the cornet

[@winrx]

It's good to finally hear a clarinet player here without a squeak.....

[@samelasoraiapilotosouzamor3124]

Como faço pra escrever meu filho nessa orquestra?? Sou do Brasil, ele é músico e ama orquestra!!

[@aghacege]

O produtor das imagens soube escolhê-las com precisão. Aquele fimd e tarde dourado acalendada pela música sa orquesta é um coisa de doido!

[@VidacolorStudio]

Love it

[@dvtuba]

Could they have asked for a better backdrop?! I love how in 8 minutes the cityscape goes from lightly sun-kissed to full-on twilight. What a town!

[@philippejaques8172]

Du grand art.

[@peposlavdvorak]

It's not contrabass t-bone, its "cimbasso" (which is actually scored by the author).

[@tubapizza]

Yes, it is a cimbasso..a contemporary cimbasso. The instruments of Verdi's day were totally different animals, yes, but saying "that is not a cimbasso" is similar to saying a drum set is not percussion. If you knew anything, you'd realize the trumpets, trombones, even the percussion, woodwinds, and strings, of today are quite different from those of Verdi's day. In fact, similar designs have been found from... from Verdi's day. not identical, but similar. Yes, this is a cimbasso. Unquestionably

[@tubatrek]

I play the cimbasso professionally. Your comment is exactly correct.

[@marioawesomeable]

There's nothing quite like classical music...

[@martinl.gelwasser3146]

Close, it's a cimbasso. Like an F tuba that looks like a big trombone with valves, usually used in italian opera. It's a good cross between a tuba sound and a trombone sound but leans closer to trombone. There are plenty of makes and models and I have no idea which one he's playing.

[@swissarmytenor]

I didn't know Anton Chigurh's brother was a conductor! :^)

[@jennifercopeland9334]

What does it take to appreciate classical music?

[@samuellee7585]

Education and a heightened conciousness

[@JPinShenzhen]

Samuel Lee So you have to have a good education to appreciate classical music? Fail. Elitist snob.

[@samuellee7585]

Jeffrey Potter Not education, but a clear brain/mind, this is actually more accurate. Kids and Dogs get classical music best anyway, can't be too elitist if this is my position. And what's wrong with being elitist anyway? Sorry, i forgot, we have your generation to thank for making "stupid" cool. Get over yourself Jeffrey Potter, who are you determine success vs. failure? What are you like 20 yrs old or something? Fail. (like this is such a witty thing to write, FAIL, duh duh, FAIL. Let's talk classical music chief, save the stupid for your other friends.

[@Lengo67]

Simple answer: Awareness of it and an educated ear.

[@evanpyne4426]

Samuel Lee Oh snap

[@Mithosphere]

No, that is not a cimbasso. It may be called a cimbasso, but it is definitely not like Verdi wanted. It was essentially a valved contrabass trombone in BBb with three valves, but not of a large bore that we see today - probably closer to a tenor trombone (.540"+). It would have been straight like the rest of the (valve) trombones, not this T shaped monstrosity that we now have (bores up to .750"+). Read Clifford Bevan's book "The Tuba Family" for a clearer description

[@abstractart6]

Tempos may vary in an overture just for variety's sake... Jussayin

[@nescience2978]

Why is it that videos never seem to get the conductor and audio synced up? It's slightly jarring.

[@TS57ovr4]

Estanato Eliquase it is actually synced up. It's pretty much the industry Norm for the orchestra to be slightly behind the conductor's gesture.

[@Mithosphere]

Like I said, it might be called a cimbasso, but it's just a less conical tuba made to blend with the larger bore (louder) trombones. Your comparison is flawed though - a drum set is a subset of the percussion. Trying to compare that to the cimbasso makes zero sense. I have not seen a cimbasso "from Verdi's day" that looks or has a bore profile like anything made today. No need to call me dumb, I'm merely pointing out that this may be called a cimbasso, but it isn't as Verdi intended.

[@thesymphoniccinema]

Next to the trombone, what is that upright instrument being played?

[@dnarbredlih]

It's a Cimbasso.

[@lukemilt]

Cimbasso, In the trombone family, but in the tuba octive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimbasso

[@fnpfar]

Cimbasso!! :D

[@ziiDragonz]

What kind of trombone is that at 5:29?

[@sdmit2010]

That's a cimbasso. If I recall correctly, Verdi asks for one of these in place of tuba.

[@piesporky2]

its a Cimbasso trombone basically a large valve trombone

[@pablobasstb]

Cimbasso is the instrument that Italians used instead of the tuba back at the day, it sounds a lot lighter, but Trombones were a lot smaller as well, and they used valve trombones, therefore Italian music tends to have lots of fast passages for trombones.

[@EricVanBuggenhaut]

Is Andrea Bocelli hiding amidst the choir ?

[@Alizluca93]

good for you!:D

[@WaterFlame957]

What is that instrument at 6:54?

[@WaterFlame957]

My goodness.

[@STKoz98]

+WaterFlame957 it's a bass trombone

[@STKoz98]

+STKoz98 contrabass

[@MrWildBunnycat]

+WaterFlame957 Cimbasso

[@lukeroussy6479]

lol! thats neither a bass trombone, contrabass, or "retarded trombone" as discussed here. Its a Cimbasso like BehindTheLoadingScreen said. One of the rare brass instruments for sure. In fact, it plays most similar to the Tuba.

[@Checkmate1138]

Sadly, I've heard that apparently the actual opera isn't as great as this overture. Is that true?

[@kikisdragon]

Does it matter? why detract from a beautiful performance

[@Checkmate1138]

kikisdragon Just to know. Maybe it would be even greater to see the whole opera right after the overture.

[@TedinNY]

It's kind of a tradition to knock La Forza Del Destino. A lot of people do this. But I suspect most of them have never heard it. They have maybe heard that instead of the power of destiny it's more like the power of coincidence. But it is an amazing opera as you can tell from the many melodies in the overture. If you are an opera novice, however, it might not be the place to start. It's a long opera which takes in many locations while following various characters. I was actually looking for a piece to recommend but I really couldn't except for the abridged movie with Tito Gobbi. Unfortunately, the KZbin version is in Italian so if you want to watch it, you'd better read a synopsis (detailed story-line). For a taste, you could skip to 18.43 to see Leonora arriving at the monastery, to 33 mins for her final prayer before entering a lifetime of reclusion, then 1h 24mins to hear the final trio where Leonora dies in the arms of Father Guardiano while praying for Alvaro's redemption.

[@Checkmate1138]

TedinNY Thanks for the reply. I do imagine at the very least, it's a wonderful opera to hear based on the music alone. I will most likely see the whole opera in full one day. Thanks for the helpful recommendation!

[@niac1231]

I really want to know what the instrument is a 5:31

[@glassda]

4:04

[@frodotheorc7342]

One of my favorite pieces growing up, though I like Riccardo Muti's style better...just a tad slower...

[@bibbleduck]

Cimbasso... YES

[@BrianRobertsfan]

Bro. Cimbasso. You'd know a contrabass if you saw it. It's just a 7 foot tall trombone.

[@larivedranelestasi4333]

EL director deberia saber que aunque una overtura sea interpretada fuera de su ópera, aun asi debe ser interpretada como si se representara la ópera. Su tiempos, sus matices en esta version son muy de "concierto orquestal" y no propios de la ópera, es decir, esta version tiene tiempos poco expresivos, poco dinamicos y muy mecanicos. This version its too better kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXnOYoWjhd90a6c

[@alexeyizmirliev64]

Sos un estupido.

[@B8THOV3N]

That's actually a cimbasso. 5:22

Hail Alessi.

[@lrcrabbenz]

Actually it's a cimbasso ... but great sound all the same.

[@BrianRobertsfan]

That's not a contrabass t-bone. I would know, I've played enough of them.

[@chingwa742]

I played this in junior high school,but it was not really good

[@marijanoreskovic]

Orchestra is great but Conductor doesn't have sense for Verdi. sorry
