The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra Reaction

[@GryLi]

Welcome to our national band. Yes they often play with masterpieces. Hi from Denmark

[@BabylonLurker]

- and they do so well. Also coming for this small country, this kind of performance gives me pride that "we" can assemble such talent. The camera work is also brilliant in underscoring how the orchestra works. I **love** what they do!

[@dionlarsen10]

Skål , I want to experience this in person some day ! ( Morricone goat )

[@andybhoy9878]

I cant resist watching this everytime i see a reaction to it ! Absolutely perfect 10/10. You have to watch the movie before you can comprehend just how brilliant this is ! They should do a fistful and a few dollars more ! I recommend to everyone that you must wear headphones to fully appreciate the full experience 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mr. Morricone’s score for the Good the Bad and the Ugly is the greatest score written for a movie. Every song gives you chills.

[@alanfoster6589]

Not to diminish the brilliance of Morricone's score, but.... Hermann - Citizen Kane Korngold - Robin Hood Rosza - Ben-hur Steiner - King Kong And many more contenders...

[@MrJohnTeacher]

One reactor commented: "After watching this I want to go out and do something heroic!" Personally, I've sat in the audience for many symphony performances in North America and here in South Korea, and it is always amazing to watch and listen to accomplished, talented, very educated musicians who have worked and studied for most of their lives to gain a place in an orchestra like this. Yes, I've attended many rock concerts as well, but its hard not to appreciate the degree of education, dedication and performance expertise on display in a symphony orchestra.

[@nebbindog6126]

Most heartedly agree. My experience is limited to the Detroit Sympnony. Their free concerts in the park where amazing, because of the the responses of the small children there. Everyone should be so priveledged as to experience a real orchestra.

[@mrshadow4007]

Which reactor said that?

[@lindabergman3127]

Same here👍 but this is above fantastic 😍

[@Jadibob]

Ennio Morricone is an amazing composer. What I really love is he was Italian and his take on the American West is so unique. He uses sounds and instruments you wouldnt hear normally. It's an amazing interpretation of the american sound.

[@CEngelbrecht]

Takes the Italians to merge the American frontier western with tragic European opera.

[@nigden1]

I was hooked when I first heard the Jews Harp in the first two films.

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Morricone, as a classical composer, was asked by Instructor and Filmmaker Sergio Leone to make the music. And to my knowledge he never actually saw the films!

[@davidcopple8071]

This is the orchestra that did the original score for the movie. That's exactly why they sound so spot on.

[@TheDivayenta]

I love the Indian ladies singing.

[@Dharnyle]

Any movie themes from the Danish National Symphony will leave you speechless. Also, any live performance of John Williams movie themes. I also get tears in my eyes from the theme to Conan the Barbarian. Hans Zimmer live performances are also pretty epic.

[@MrTech226]

I hope that DNSO would have John Williams conduct this famous orchestra with one of his famous songs like one from Indiana Jones.

[@Krombachert]

I watch a lot of reaction videos of several different reactors. But I've never seen a reaction as pure as this. Your love for music is real, and not pretentious. Great!

[@brandonflorida1092]

They also do "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More," the other two movies in the series.

[@herbyragan7801]

And let’s not forget, they also did “Once Upon A Time In The West” (my favorite spaghetti western).

[@randomcommentary6099]

While watching these movies I never realized how fantastic the music was. I've listened to a dozen of these Danish Orchestral videos after the first time I watched the "Good Bad and Ugly" video.

[@brandonflorida1092]

@@herbyragan7801 True. That's from the same composer.

[@penquin2000]

they also did lord of the rings

[@grimsoncrow]

And "Halo" -theme :)

[@JulieS261]

The orchestra performed it the way it was written, with the same vocal arrangements as the original version in the movie.

[@Draugo]

There are many videos of orchestras playing iconic movie and game music. Some prudish people might think it's stupid but honestly I think it's amazing celebrating music that's legitimately awesome. These pieces are iconic for a reason and I'm sure these players enjoy these performances as much as the audience.

[@MegaSteak757]

Honestly thats more a polite acknowledging nod towards the game/ movie/ component than anything else, imo

[@Heegaherger]

They don't care of about the source. They will give GoT and Halo the same attention and passion as they do for Beethoven and Bach.

[@grimsoncrow]

It's the same orchestra, and I read that their agenda was to make classical music more approachable to general audiences. Great idea in my opinion.

[@ffjsb]

This was NOT an easy piece to play, there are a few intricate and complicated parts to this for sure. And there's nothing wrong with having some fun with the music.

[@readhistory2023]

Classical Music was Pop Music back when it was written. Some of it is good, some isn't.

[@rittherugger160]

I've seen several reactions to this performance. One of the comments said that this particular performance included the theme music from all 3 of the movies in this series. The discipline it takes for each and every one of the performers to pull this off so masterfully is what gets me.

[@OzzyCoop]

It's is a great great cover of a song from a great movie. This is one of the most amazing things I've seen on YT in a long time.

[@hypatian9093]

Music that some would say is at the heart of America - composed by an Italian, played by a Danish Orchestra ;)

[@notlobparrot3057]

My Brass-Playing friends will love that you shouted out the Brass Section. That trumpet part in the first half, when they're doing those triumphant flourishes? (2:30) Sooooooo hard. Loved the reaction!

[@allwaizeright9705]

That second movement is known as THE ECSTASY OF GOLD.

[@suzylund7859]

Brilliant! Outstanding! Beautiful beyond word! Such beauty and talent, a blessing from God, praise God.

[@COALEDasICE]

Yes this is a regular thing they do. All their recreations give me shivers. So good

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

Ennio Morricone ...the GODFATHER of all Movie Scores !

[@mojavered1273]

That soprano vocalist- Christine Nonbo Andersen (please forgive me if I misspelled her name) - she simply kills me every time I hear her hit that high note. It kills me man. She rips out a piece of my heart every time. Just simply superhuman vocals. I've listened to some of her other work too and it is all equally unbelievable. But this piece remains my all time favorite. She's a God given talent and I'm not sorry for saying it. To me, she is proof that God exists.

[@repluggedx3265]

It‘s not just talent. It is years of practice. And practice. And practice.

[@davideichelberger7583]

What I love most is how clean and true they are to the original score of all these iconic themes.

[@markthemailman4567]

Amazing piece of music! So many gifted musicians. But most incredible of all - the man who wrote it! Thanks Danish Symphony!!

[@BabylonLurker]

This is the kind of performance that makes me wish to be there. In addition, the camera work on the videos from the Danish Symphony Orchestra is brilliant in adding to the mood of the music and giving an impression of how well they work together.

[@Hoigwai]

There are multiple instances of orchestral arrangements of video game scores, movies, tv shows, and anime themes done to fantastic detail. It is always amazing to see them.

[@mrtomlovin]

RIP maestro Ennio Morricone and many thanks for your music. Congratulations to this orchestra for this execution, it's flawless.

[@Bricks4Bungoma]

"There is too much talent in this room guys". Yes, indeed. Only the talent of Ennio Morricone was only there thru his musical score.

[@toddstevens13]

It would of been glorious to have him see this tribute, and all their others to him.

[@JustJaneOYVEY]

Outstanding talent !!!

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Ennio Morricone actually gave a Concert in Cph. about a year before he died! I hope some of the musicians from here were present to give him applause!

[@lyndagolding7290]

This orchestra is absolutely amazing. The next song by them should be Once Upon A Time In The West. It's also absolutely incredible. Great reaction.

[@MostafaJraif-rl5pi]

روعة تحفة فنية شكرا الدنمارك على هذا العزف المدهش

[@AWKnuden]

You should watch “Once Upon A Time In The West”, recorded the same night at this concert. And If you do, pay attention to the camerawork. It is fabulous. The way you see the conductor giving istruktions to the players.

[@eyesofthefox]

Currently free to watch through KZbin movies~

[@OldBoiler62]

While that would be cool, you should also react to the vocals with the theme. It's called "Your Love". In the original, it was hummed by Edda del'Orso. 46 years later it was sung by Jackie Evancho. Absolutely incredible voice.

[@strange4you]

Once Upon A Time In The West is masterpiece to...

[@box4859]

Ennio Morricone was a genius without equal. "Once Upon a Time in the West" is just as good.

[@herbyragan7801]

This is from the album “The Morricone Duel: The Most Dangerous Concert Ever”. Pretty much everything on this album is worth a listen.

[@TommysShinebox]

SO MANY DONE MY THIS INCREDIBLE ORCHESTRA, ALL AMAZING! "For A Few Dollars More, The Godfather, Bang Bang - My Baby Shot me Down, Interstellar Suite, Skyfall, 007, Pink Panther, 5th Element"...Bro! So Many!

[@vodkarage8227]

It gives me the chills every time I hear them play this. So beautiful, so much talent, so much attention to detail. How each sound plays its part perfectly to just flow into your ears and take your mind on a soaring adventure.

[@bonsai67]

Nothing compares to seeing the Maestro Ennio Morricone (R.I.P.) at work live. I have had the honor to see him and his orchestra perform live on his world tour when he was in The Netherlands. Mind blowing! Whenever you have the opportunity to go to a live concert, just do it and be amazed.

[@larkendelvie]

This is one of best examples of the beauty and scope of a live musical performance. The Danish national Symphony Orchestra has lots of great performances on their channel including the other two spaghetti western themes that go with this one.

[@yarnangel52]

Please do more like this. This was such a wonderful change up for the normal stuff you react to. You gave me a surprise..thank you!

[@vidarvanhel1920]

[@polythenewrappedme6102]

Now, this IS music ! Every musician and every performer at their absolute best.

[@smallsim2663]

Ennio Morricone was a master composer for both art music and movie scores. It's not only the music is a masterpiece, but also how it is used in the movies. You really should watch a movie with music from him and pay attention to matches of music theme/character or dramatic events. This adds so much to the scenes.

[@skyjuke2006]

With your headphone you can appreciate the genius of Ennio Morricone who has created this music in the '60 using many beautiful effects (ocarina, traditional instruments, chores, strange noises, bell, sounds of animals -"wawawa" is a coyote- and soprano voice). The Danish Orchestra reproduces very well all this marvellous 'ensemble'.

[@peterbarry-cv2gx]

I first saw and heard this today, the good bad and ugly being my favorite film of all time. When I heard this today I just couldn't stop listening and watching it, this is unbelievable. The passion is awesome.

[@lijohns57]

I remember going to see The Good, The Bad and the Ugly when it was released in 1967. I was 9 years old and sitting in the back seat at the drive-in. I have to admit that at 9 years old I didn't really understand the movie, but I was absolutely captivated by this theme song!

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

I've watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly I don't know *how* many times. Always loved this song but *never* saw who recorded it or how it was recorded until reactors like you uploaded this clip. Thanks to whoever suggested this.

[@bruhkamp]

Oh yes, they do movie themes. Just absolutely fabulous all around.

[@evelynne2846]

It is brilliant. I miss going to symphonies. When Covid is controlled will go again. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi There Mr.Lboyd, your channel is amazing and by the way i just want to say THIS IS ART in its purest form

[@johnrohde243]

It's great to see all the components that make up this song. An iconic Ennio Morricone composition. You should listen to his other western compositions or watch the films for the complete experience. He has a huge repertoire of great film and TV soundtracks.

[@rosiew1952]

Once upon a time in America /West. The Good The Bad & The Ugly are my favourite movies especially the music John.

[@dianeolsen33]

I loved your respectful reaction to an amazing piece of art.

[@jayenn6142]

It is always a pleasure to meet people who are just as impressed by good music as I am. And by the way, for me this Sergio Leone movie is still the best westerns of all time and the Ennio Morricone soundtrack is epic.

[@gypsygirl3255]

They have done a bunch of game, movie and TV themes. Love watching this. They do a medley of all the Star Trek themes that I really enjoyed

[@marcotecca9223]

Ennio Morricone is an Italian excellence who recently passed away, has composed hundreds of film soundtracks and received the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement before leaving he left the orchestral scores of some of his most beautiful soundtracks, such as the one here so well performed the Wua-Wua that often intrigues is the sum of the singer's voice and the sound of a harmonica, you can see it at 3.45 minutes of your reaction the soundtrack was composed in the 60s and there were no electronic distortion of the voice he liked to insert musical jokes with unusual instruments

[@christydowns783]

I love everything from the Danish National Symphony Orchestra

[@olexxr8503]

As a dane ive been to lots of live concerts and its aaaaamazing to listen to .. they are fantastic .. 😊😊

[@boosuedon]

FYI, this concert was a note for note, instrument authentic recreation of the original movie score. Yes, it is incredible! If you watch the movie, this is what you will hear at the beginning and end of the movie.

[@jayfuller1593]

Thanks!

[@kellingc]

Do you ever get that feeling when you know you are un tge presence if greatness? The first time I heard and saw this, I was awestruck. Watching your reaction is about the 10th time I've seen it, and still get chills. I'm at a point that I actually anticipate about 3 bars ahead. Can we take a moment not only to recognize the Danish Orchestra, but the brilliance of Ennio Morricone for such a rich body of work.

[@LPdedicated]

Our National Symphony Orchestra (and other symphony orchestras in our country) not only perform classical music, but it's quite common that they perform pieces from popular culture (like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, MCU etc.) in order to make live classical music appeal to everyone. It's awesome! If you haven't already, check out their version of the Mandalorian theme and the Avatar soundtrack. Greetings from Denmark!

[@headhuntingllc161]

Magnifico. The Master Ennio Morricone takes his place along side Mozart, Bach, etc.

[@slimpickins9124]

Yes, this orchestra does many themes & they are all excellent.

[@terrybeasley5931]

Have seen other reactors watching and hearing this for first time. Every one was amazed. Some had never seen an actual orchestra before. I love it.

[@jonathancapps1103]

This is such iconic music. It's difficult to really get an idea of just how groundbreaking this soundtrack was.

[@M4rkmon]

I recommend you to check some of the concerts that Ennio Morricone himself was conducting. He's unique!!! But yes, this orchestra did a perfect job. It's all good. Love it!

[@Phantoman7]

I'm enjoying watching him enjoy it. Double the pleasure.

[@BelleDede01]

The lady who sang "wah wah", her name is Tuva Semmingson, a classically trained singer in her own right, she sings everything from opera to standards to pop. A diva of the 1st class. If you look closely, for this concert she was wearing little six shooter earrings. PERFECT!!! I watched an interview with the two vocalists.Tuva Semmingsen AKA the Wah Wah Lady, as she has been called by the tube, actually likes being called the Wah Wah Lady. She couldn't believe how this performance took off on the tube. Christine Nonbo Andersen is the solo vocalist in the audience and it was her first solo too. This was her first performance with the Danish National Orchestra. Both ladies nailed their performances and added a stunning element to this Ennio Morricone masterpiece. Ennio Morricone was a composer of film soundtracks, where he used instruments and objects that are not normally used in an orchestral ensemble. Electric guitars, basses, ocarinas, bongos ... but also whips, gunshots, gusts of wind. Entering Morricone's work is a complete immersion. A moving tribute for fidelity down to the smallest details is what the Spaghetti Western Orchestra did to him. A Japanese conductor conducting a Danish orchestra in a rendition of a song written by an Italian for a film financed by Germans and shot in Spain about the American West

[@dionlarsen10]

[@GregFalken]

Not to take anything away from the excellent musicianship but these are professionals in a national symphony orchestra. I would expect nothing less than flawless playing.

[@suntiger745]

There’s lots of layers of talent in this piece. First of course the original composer, Enrico Morricone, who was breaking some new grounds with the way he composed music for these western films. Then there is the person who made the particular arrangement, picking which pieces of music from the film to play and how they put them together into this piece. Next up is the conductor, keeping track of tempo and timing, giving cues to the members of the orchestra on when to come in etc. And then the performers, both vocalists and those playing instruments, all who are doing a great job with tone, timing and overall performance. Worth also is a nod to the stage crew and camera team. The backdrop is really nice, and the camera team switches shots very well without feeling that you miss something.

[@robertvirnig638]

I have watched and appreciated orchestra music all my life having played melodic percussion in band and orchestra when in school. I can say without reservation that this was a level above your typical professional orchestra in all the aspects you mentioned.
