Agent 47 quoting Palpatine is something I never knew I wanted until now.

[@Hauntti]

Underrated comment

[@mukwoorusilverhair4283]

Is this really the guy who voiced Agent 47?

[@Hauntti]

@@mukwoorusilverhair4283 Yes

[@mukwoorusilverhair4283]

@@Hauntti Thanks. I did some research on him last night. What baffles me is that he was offered a role in a 47 movie, but he refused to play the character because it was written poorly. Awesome dude.

[@ALph4cro]

@@mukwoorusilverhair4283 I completely understand that. They turned it into a generic action movie.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

The flute player lady, just jamming after her solo ! This orchestra never ceases to amaze :-)

[@SebastianMBL]

If you ever played a solo, and nailed it... You know the fealing👌😎❤️

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

@@SebastianMBL i can only imagine :) These folks are REALLY good. The cello player had quite a few solos in prev videos, just fantastic

[@theaquell581]

yes, she realy goes with it

[@PpAirO5]

Not her solo, HAN SOLO !

[@ak86db]

didnt see him on the flute is was her flute@@PpAirO5

[@jonno9891]

The audio engineers should be proud. The recording is incredible.

[@mangodip2170]

Probably the best and flawless recordings I find here in youtube come from this channel.

[@magoid]

@@mangodip2170 If you want the absolute best Impiral March recording, search YT for the Vienna Philharmonic's one. They are so good that John Williams himself said "wow", at the end of the performance he was conducting.

[@benjirespect5818]

​@@mangodip2170completamente de acuerdo 👍..... Yo lo puedo corroborar me gustan bastantes géneros musicales y posiblemente nunca escuché una nitidez musicalmente hablando de una pieza musical..... ( ¡¡Y mira nada más de que obra es esta pieza !! 😳)......bravoo!!!!!🔊🎻🤩😱🤯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ....saludos 🇲🇽👍

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

John Williams is truly a gift to humanity. It's incredible to see Star Wars themed music become more popular than the most famous classic composers.

[@tomasmartinezmutter4025]

God Save Vladisheev Palputin

[@bagelj]

Hmm there is Harry Mancini

[@xoibor]

And his son made Toto africa

[@degenetron7590]

John Williams is a very respected composer

[@pixelreflexionen6045]

He is one of the greatest in his field. My greatest respect for John Williams, especially as a Star Wars fan. But popularity is not a yardstick by which art should be measured. He is a good composer. But hey, a whole new universe opens up when you look up at The Planets ;) (by Gustav Holst). If Bach is still heard after 300 years, Eschenbach is still read after 800 years, that doesn't mean that these are the only works from their time. It means that these works, alongside all the other long-forgotten works, were so significant and memorable that they have survived the centuries. All the works that are popular today would still have to prove that.

[@nihilgenx6712]

2:30 always gives me chills

[@DexM47]

3:01 That part with the dissonance created by the descending scale in the low brass section always gets me.

[@CsgtGempleis]

In my opinion, this is the best Imperial March performance

[@catthebatflute]

Other than that thing I saw with John Williams himself, absolutely. This is as good as you can get without the original thing!! Amazing!!

[@Detendez-vous]

John Williams has nothing to envy to Mozart, Beethoven etc. He is a genius composer

[@marcochicchi8787]

No

[@Detendez-vous]

@@marcochicchi8787 Si

[@hoon_sol]

Bit of a plagiarist, though; a ton of material for Star Wars is lifted almost note for note from _The Planets_ by Holst.

[@Detendez-vous]

@@hoon_sol I did not actually know I went to listen to it looks like it ...

[@BuddyChy]

@@hoon_sol to be fair, George Lucas apparently wanted to use the Planets straight up as the score, but I believe due to copyright laws these heavily inspired pieces were composed instead. He wasn’t trying to pull a fast one. Not to mention he has far more compositions than just Star Wars.

[@stewartfewster5515]

Wow!! The force is strong with this orchestra

[@davidsumrell1070]

YEEESSSSSS..GÒOOOD

[@johndododoe1411]

Great cloning of the original...

[@chasemiles2166]

The might of Vader and the Empire never gets old no matter how many times I listen to this song

[@penntaylor5110]

John Williams is an absolute Master at what he does. A true genius!

[@warsstar]

As usual, goosebumps on my forearms, biggest smile on my face, and holding back tears of joy.

[@strannikmd]

The force is strong with this clip!

[@isaacsutton8885]

If you don’t get goosebumps when you listen to this, are you a real Star Wars fan?

[@AdityaSharma-me6je]

Read a comment on this theme on some other video, here it is - "If ever the countries of Earth united to form a Space Force against the aliens, this theme has to be our battle theme." Couldn't agree more. This is epic.

[@palaherk]

Agreed

[@TheBigGSN5]

This is the theme for space Nazis. How about no?

[@susanstarks109]

Ok, how about using the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark?

[@VictorSilva-qf2tu]

Yes and when we win we play this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJunkoOFjMmrbNU

[@martinlarsen7354]

I'd probably use Mars, The Bringer of War by Gustav Holst instead.

[@mikeserot1410]

John Williams is the greatest film composer in history. You can instantly tell his works when you hear them. The Olympics, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Superman... the list is long.

[@NewYork975]

Still the GOAT of Star Was Themes.

[@umutbudak9501]

1:48 i love this old man. first time i saw him it was 5 years ago. i am listening this great orchestra still. i love every piece of them.

[@lucastiefenthaler988]

I played in this trombone section and yes, Thomas is the sweetest, kindest guy ever!

[@marvelstarwarsgeek1511]

Love the Danish National Orchestra they are amazing , I always click on their videos you know you are in for a great performance and the Orchestra members look like they are really into it and having such a great time , lovec their performance of several pieces of music from Game of Thrones especially 😊

[@mid-eighties]

There is a great disturbance in the force, we have a new enemy. The force is strong with him.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

when I conquer the planet, it will be the national anthem! And there will be a statue of John Williams in every square!

[@sulaimanA]

Imperial March/Star Wars, great epic music 👌

[@arturomartingorodner]

Bravooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@Xenthorx]

Never, ever, gets old. John Williams, you are one crazy legendary composer, I love you for all those emotions over the years, and thank you Danish National orchestra for those incredible performances and rendition.

[@andrewhodges1322]

I went to " The music of Star Wars" performed by the Virginia Symphony a few months ago. The conductor came out in a FULL Darth Vader suit (without the helmet of course). He was all the way in during the performance. They also took a few minutes and had a Darth Vader come out with a red lightsaber and everything. The symphonies go ALL the way in to perform Star Wars. I LOVE IT!!! I was a little disappointed they didn't perform "Duel of the Fates", but I know it's difficult to organize an ENTIRE choir to show up also. Either way, I'm going EVERY May 4th!!!!!

[@walidkhier]

Listening to this music makes me feel a great disturbance in the force.

[@LordHades800BC]

Without a doubt, the meanest piece of music ever composed. Gorgeous!

[@0610lactic]

I like how everyone’s face expression is like 👿👿👿 awesome!!! I would love to hear it live ❤

[@MKorayEray]

The best OST piece ever, there is nothing better...

[@fsociety.dat101]

I always get goosebumps when I hear the triangle at 1:41

[@jankompog]

May the force be with you 🙏

[@Laceykat66]

The thing is, you all know the scene in Empire Strikes Back when this march comes on. You picture it in your mind each time you hear the cords. THAT is brilliant film making. (Add to that the Asteroid scene)

[@helfgott1]

I just love my neighbors Greets from germany

[@bobbyk1796]

Impressive…most impressive!

[@user-xl2rj2xr1u]

Oh man, I got chills at around 0:24 in when the brass section started up. An Outstanding performance! Time to rewatch the movies again for the umpteenth time.

[@CanOwhuppass]

I love this song

[@nicholasfifita560]

I love the Danish national anthem.

[@agffans5725]

In all honesty, Denmark actually have several national anthems.

[@kutersemih]

As soon as you hear the melody you know that something evil is coming, FANTASTIC...

John Williams composed some just plain awesome stuff. And thy played the crap out of it. To me this is as famous of a piece of music as any big classical piece out there.

[@impalagoat]

Indeed my friend!

[@zacknelson8918]

I would love to go see this in person

[@flavioasramos]

Impressionante!

[@EmmelineDuchene]

Word of God says that this music is the official Imperial anthem in-universe. Probably the best piece created for the saga, it makes the threat of the empire and the dark side clearly audible and gives you all the right kinds of shivers.

[@koldoalbert3475]

increible......buenisimo

[@mrheadrick]

Awesome!
