Orquestra de Solistas do RJ - Xanadu (Rush)

And 400 years from now they'll still be listening to Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and of course, Rush.

This show you how much respect Rush has in the music world. This is absolutely fantastic. Well done.

[@chopayrussell9660]

It took sixteen musicians to replicate the power and majesty of three , proving that RUSH IS and Was the biggest little orchestra the world has ever known

[@Ferd414]

Funny - I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing... Takes 16 players (and a conductor, let's not forget) to do what three guys from Canada did... :) I wonder if the audience had any clue what it was they were hearing? (Other than great music, I mean)

Best orchestration project ever! I have dined on honeydew!

[@daves4645]

This is a testament to what great composers Geddy, Neil and Alex were.

[@thewildgoose7467]

They did a very good interpretation of it, but it just goes to show how intricate and complex Rush's music is. Xanadu is a classic, and I would regard the live Exit Stage Left version as the best live performance of any song by any band ever! Sixteen people trying to replicate what three people did live, and nobody attempting the horsing around and bumping into each other like Alex and Geddy casually did as they played

I've never seen Rush arranged for orchestra until today and my life is better for it.

[@tranceofdances]

Omg, this brings tears to my eyes

[@edupsi2001]

Eu não sei exatamente o que dizer. Ouço essa música há quase 40 anos, e esse é provavelmente um dos arranjos mais ousados pra qualquer música do Rush. De cara, senti falta de um vocal, mas logo isso mudou. A dramaticidade da música ficou intacta, e sua sensibilidade ficou aflorada, principalmente no trecho que usa a harpa, a flauta, o oboé e o vibrafone. A orquestra fez um trabalho excepcional. E não, não há necessidade de um kit maior de bateria, tudo ficou no lugar exato da proposta do arranjo. MUITO, MUITO OBRIGADO.

[@patriotsquill]

It was a gutsy move to include an electric guitar in this arrangement, and to play Alex Lifeson's solo note for note.

[@keydobutkrak]

Wasn’t note for note nice try though

[@clontstable1]

You know that you have achieved composer immortality when an orchestra performs your work.

[@johnwatt72]

What a wonderful version of a great song! Always thought Xanadu was a classical rock song and the arrangement by the orchestra was superb!👍

[@CygnusX73]

I have always wanted to hear an orchestra play Rush let alone one of my all time favourite songs Xanadu. Made my night-year!

[@barneycoffman6663]

I have always been extremely impressed with this song; however, hearing it converted into an orchestration ensemble brought out the impressive classical composition within this rock classic.

[@ZippyThePinhead]

Very Well Done!!! The intro moved me to tears, because this is not only a rock song, but a piece of music that can be orchestrated, and sound GREAT.

[@TheWolf-rz4oz]

Life in the 80's felt like Xanadu was calling us...

[@brenovr6]

Nunca pensei que isso fosse possível, mas eu assisti chorando do início ao fim. Uma interpretação inteiramente brasileira, da minha música favorita, dos maiores gênios que eu nunca poderei ver ao vivo. Quem levou Rush para uma orquestra merece duas medalhas. E uma vai só para esse baterista excepcional.

I've been a Rush fan for over 40 years, and only just found out this arrangement existed. It's incredible! Thank you!

[@kylestankiewicz7697]

The fact that this orchestra was able to separate Neil Peart's part into individual percussion parts and get a violin to attempt to mimic a synthesizer is amazing! Period. Also, Lifeson's guitar work into separate parts and NOT be cumbersome...stunning!!! Yes, it's kind of elevator musicish but that's to be expected. Hats off to you for being this musically risky!

To those who say that rock is not "real" music...that classical is the only true musical form...you need to see this. I do think a full orchestra would have been even better, but this arrangement proves that Rush's music translates well into classical. And think what a coloratura soprano could do with Geddy's vocals!

A farewell to kings was the first RUSH album I had. Found it in my big brothers collection. Had a really crappy record player. Got a good (kenwood) system for Xmas in 1980. First time I listened to Xanadu, actually looked out my bedroom window to try and find the chirping birds. (edit) Great cover, I really enjoyed this.

[@mjkeith8748]

Interesting for sure. A lot of work went into the orchestration. Some clever ideas here and there and so my hat goes off to these folks. My only wish is for a fuller and more powerful rendition that a full orchestration is capable of. What this does show is potential -- i.e. that Rush's music is complex and rich enough that a powerful symphonic rendition is very much possible.

[@Jonno2summit]

I count 17 musicians who performed this amazing and, dare I say, spiritual rendition of a song originally created by 3 guys from Canada. That is the magic of Rush. I know it doesn't take 17 musicians to recreate this song, and that it was done this way to pay homage to this song and add anything they could to it. This was an amazing masterpiece of orchestration - simply beautiful.

[@skepticalfaith5201]

@@Jonno2summit It wasn’t just 17 musicians, it was 17 different *instruments* (not counting the multiple xylophones) that was required to reproduce the sounds of a 3-piece band. They were just incredible.

[@Jonno2summit]

@@skepticalfaith5201 Truly said. And never before and never again will there be 3 guys like Geddy, Alex and Neil. A perfect accident that joined by chance and will live forever more and can never be replicated. They just happened somehow, and the world is blessed. This will never happen again and never happened before. It's just Rush.

And to think Rush is only 3 (3 of the best ever) musicians making all the sound. Here it takes an entire orchestra. Fucking amazing Rush is!

[@forrestwoods8599]

Arrangement and interpretation par excellence, with notably keen use of restrained guitar; but I think extra special kudos are due the drummer who made very effective use of a small kit for Peart's wide palette of sounds.

[@PincherVoice]

He basically brought a Ringo kit to a Peart party, and it worked. I was amazed. Great arrangement too, I think the guitar was more effective this way for this group.
