Sawallisch Conducts Zampa Overture (Herold)

NHK Symphony Orchestra Conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch in 1988. The venue was Suntory Hall, Tokyo. Rare repertoire for Maestro Sawallisch.

[@zippy987]

Played this 65 years ago in high school. This is a wonderful recording.

[@sirswagger21]

Played this 1 year ago in high school. Regardless of our age difference, we can both agree that yes, this performance of Zampa Overture is fabulous!

[@noelhetherington5528]

The best recording yet of this undervalued gem

[@estevaoteixeira7118]

+Noel Hetherington I agree!

[@manilaron]

heard this when I was 9....I'm 57 now still love it...wonderfull

[@michaelpaulsmith4619]

This was on the first LP I ever bought - 1812 and other overtures with Nicolai Malko and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Some of these 'other overtures', including this one, seem to have fallen into almost obscurity. What a shame! Great performance of an exciting piece. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@XX-lx1qm]

I bought the exact same LP and this was truly the beginning of my love for classical music !

[@barumite]

Me too!

[@dougr.2398]

Savanoff technique of conducting quickly implemented. Savanoff was my piano teachers piano teacher’s piano teacher’s teacher at the Moscow Conservatory.

Happy Birthday to the Late Louis Herold Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!

[@dougr.2398]

Still a most amazingly conducted version

[@dougr.2398]

Just before and up to 0:35 something very important occurs (Savanoff style switch!)…… this is the best conducting I’ve seen in a while. Conductor and orchestra are one entity… P.S……Savanov (alternate spelling) is in my musical lineage!

[@analogyman]

Very nice! This has been a favorite of mine for over 55 years. Great tempo! Thank you for posting this.

[@dougr.2398]

Yes, perfect tempi. Neither rushed nor excessively leisurely where appropriate

[@clarinet3131]

Love the clarinet solo! :) We're playing this in symphony orchestra, and it's amazingly fun!

[@dougr.2398]

I wonder how it would sound on flute instead? I have a bias 😉

[@gallespaul]

I LOVE this piece. Playing it with my orchestra in school, i'm 1st chair bass, and it's soooo fun :D

[@1959mls1]

Great music! Great performance! A very special favorite of mine.

[@estevaoteixeira7118]

A great performance!

[@jamessantiago2930]

Anda Panda cartoon brought me here for the full un altered piece! Magnificent at best !

[@mmarci23]

Me too but I watched this cartoon when I was 10

[@davidhamrick6323]

Played the orchestral transcription of this in high school at state contest in 1987

[@denisej242]

i love this piece!!! it's one of my favorites to play :D

[@geralima7341]

Magnífica execução de "Zampa - Overture"🎼🎶🎵👏👏👏👏

[@pattysminiatureworld]

Fntastic rendition of my favourite overture! Thank you for sharing this!

[@mountainrover]

I like this interpretation more than the other I found on here. I like it very much. Thanks a lot for the posting.

[@marinoflores6077]

De niño siempre me gustó esta overture

[@FreethinkerMr56]

Excellent performance!

[@treveskyn]

This is also one of my favorite transcriptions for symphonic band. I have conducted this piece many times,. It has never failed to excite players and audience alike. It's' what we call a 'War Horse" in the business. When I taught HS, it was on my revolving literature list. This assured that every student I taught got to play it. It's fun, technically challenging and most importantly teaches LYRICISM!! The final element so important , and yet seemingly ignored by so many contemporary composers.

[@danielsyvret1910]

Simply a beautiful piece. I am currently playing the four hands variations of this piece!

[@ReallyrRandomVideos]

im playing this for string orchestra and this sounds awesome!!

[@rattywoof5259]

I love these old 'warhorses' - overtures like 'Poet and Peasant', 'Mignon', 'Light Cavalry', 'Oberon', 'Merry Wives of Windsor' - all ignored by musical snobs, but gems in their own right.

[@paulwl3159]

Absolutely agree. They are so well orchestrated and full of unrestrained high spirits and virtuosity.

[@kan76kazu]

0:31秒の所で指揮棒落とされてます、サヴァリッシュにしては珍しい。それにしても指揮が美しい。

[@daifugou2]

高評価何回もクリックできないのが悔しい。。。。。。 サヴァリッシュさんの指揮で演奏できる日を待っていたが、、、、 もうすぐ逝きますよ、先生！！！！！

[@wagner-japan3228]

さすがサヴァリッシュ先生！

[@FernandoCambara]

Gostei, bela apresentação!

[@BytomGirl]

I have a complete Herold's ballet on CD, La Fille Mal Gardee.. great music

[@SuperBearos]

si señor, una autentica maravilla,,bravo!!!!

[@1595mtmt]

La clarinette de Yokokawa jouer d'excellente .Bravo!

[@carlosmachorro5165]

Está obra fue de las que iniciaron el amor hacia la música en mi infancia. Era un disco de baquelita de 78 RPM, con la Boston Pops orchestra y la escuché cientos de veces.

[@evazampa1237]

Tolle Aufnahme!

[@brunoantony3218]

The time of your life starts at 3:08 ❤

[@edwin9436]

going to play this 'piece' in the coming music camp :D

[@supremolaus4384]

6:00 o Pica-Pau, o Andy Panda e um ratinho entram na casa da Glória Comilona e apronta horrores com o Leôncio na busca pela comida no episódio "O Fila Bóia"

[@dougr.2398]

The most expressive conducting I have ever witnessed a la Savanoff (my teachers teachers teachers teacher). (R.N.F. Luchonok > E. Gabelman > J. Kehvinne > Savanoff)

[@korean_empire157]

I played this music today...I play Cello BTW.

[@DavidMorseMusic]

Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra playing this!

[@dm5572254]

Was this an encore? If so what a lucky audience. I just wish I could have been there. Indeed rare repertoire for Maestro Sawallisch but just look at his expression and how he enjoys conducting this. A real treasure. Thank you for this posting.

[@shu.hawks_17]

中学のとき吹奏楽部で演奏しました！ チューバでしたがテンポ掴むのが難しかったです！

[@user-xb4pu5kc5n]

6:00~7:00 Beautiful melody of strings 🎶

[@robertlancaster4538]

I sure love this principal clarinetist, apart that some of the throat and lower tones were hard to hear, but that might have been something to do with mic'ing, hard to say if you weren't there. But all in clarino and altissimo very clear and nice ring, good line and nuance.

[@nathangottschall2443]

¡Demasiado buena!

[@InChristWeStand1]

California Youth Symphony associate orchestra is playing this :D

[@opendome22]

Yeah Im trying to figure that out too.

[@mikeiron3038]

We played this in high school

[@Goethefemme]

Sounds like the Bernstein version I carry around in my head, but more "orientalism" in some of the percussion. Has anyone ever done a ballet to it?

[@InChristWeStand1]

i know...pretty sure we will improve greatly in the next 5 or 6 weeks

[@damavridis]

Savallish at his best.Very good \

[@SuperHadassa1]

Tolstoy, it's an overture!!!!!!!!!!!

[@antoninomarullo8468]

Sawallisch è stato un grandissimo direttore non abbastanza valorizzato. Decisamente superiore a tanti altri più famosi

[@samsrorosce]

6:00

[@vincentsu2035]

OooooooooooOOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOOoo

[@Elemajor]

hopefully..

[@TheTock227]

How does a clarinet play 8:06????

[@Torowe1]

it's fascinating - and distressing - why a such a good composer just drifted off into obscurity .... with just the one overture from dozens of operas surviving in the mainstream repertoire .... What was it ? bad timing ? out of fashion style? wrong country ? ..... and an early death .... heartbreaking ...

[@sidniewalker3647]

first of all because im only 11, i say this piece is a little challenging for me... remember this is from the view of an 11 year, otherwise its a great song. bravo!!!!!!!

[@5beni]

Sidnie Walker it’s not a song

[@sirswagger21]

Now you're 20 or 21

@rockthepiano4ever Garrett how the hell did you find my youtube channel... XD

[@jirihrudka5606]

Má jediná před internetem nahrávka předehy Zampa byla mono z 1955 (FOK , dir. Jan Hus Tichý). Pojetí se nezměnilo, jen p. Sawallisch se nebojí dynamiky (ono to už jde, od té doby se pokročilo). Umožňuje to lepší, naléhavější výraz.

[@Jessehermansonphotography]

doing a report on this song...interesting

[@you19960607]

横川さん、ブラボー！！！

[@davemiller7633]

Did he put his baton in his suit jacket in the beginning?

[@borisbrinkmann]

I rather suppose that he lost his baton and was digged for another one - without success. And I am surprised that nobody else noticed this matter...

[@erlandschneck-holze4476]

::: Herold a la Wagner... Interessant ... die deutlich schlankere KZbin-Aufnahme mit Jean Martinon am Pult des LPO - zum erstaunlichen Vergleich (auch älteren Datums) - ist natürlich "französischer", eleganter - nicht ganz so pompös ...Dennoch: Sawallisch ist natürlich ein großer Maestro...

[@SuperBearos]

[@65attila]

@mountainrover This is an excellent performance BUT I prefer the one conducted. by Toscanini

[@Elemajor]

Yeah but we arent nearly this good yet xD

[@lettuceplayon]

It really annoys me when some people call pieces like this songs'. It is not a 'song'.

[@johnrobertson1795]

Thank you for saying this. A song is something that is sung.

[@MrKurtisp23]

Asians only, or was that one trombonist black?

[@blazinjocie]

lol

[@Tolstoy111]

This isn't a song.
