Williams: Duel of the Fates / Korynta · Pražští pěvci · Prague Film Orchestra

[@Jmetclaf7053]

Not only is this version in the right tempo, it's the only recording I can find that isn't afraid to let the brass and percussion let loose. Even some of William's own takes on the piece can be very reserved in this way. I enjoy the appreciation for bombast here.

[@FishJJFish]

I swear John Williams will be remembered among the greats. Will probably turn up in a few history books even

[@Dimebag62430]

Fish J.J. Fish among the greatest ever!

[@stephen0793]

This version is actually at the right tempo, unlike the more popular video on KZbin. Much appreciated

[@elrads]

Powerful performance. In the scale of 1 to 10, they have an 11. One of the best performances I have heard on YT on Duel of Fates

[@kingkonglomerate]

Agreed. definitely my favourite rendition besides the original done by Williams and the LSO. They really captured the the piece's intensity.

[@corinapanganiban9991]

dude 11 out of 10 means -1 lol

[@jimbobeire]

+Corina Panganiban No. 11 *from* 10 equals -1. 11 _out_ _of_ 10 equals 110%

[@sxhmeatyclaws]

Great work, but I feel like there were a couple balancing issues within sections, and the choir was a little bleak, but true, one of the better performances.

[@gegervary]

I have to agree. It was I mean awesome without a doubt but not quite how I think it should be.

[@reno.rodolfo3089]

Many orchestras has played this theme, but anyone on the right tempo, just this. Bravo and well done.

[@mythsqueuemusic]

agreed, i hate when it's rushed

[@dirkdouglas6373]

[@TheDragonSmasher]

Absolutely amazing. No matter what others say, the prequels will have a place in my heart forever. Astounding motion pictures with phenomenal music.

[@anthonystarke893]

Thank you! Somebody else who appreciates the prequels. I'm sorry but I love them. I like anything Star Wars. I guess I'm not a "real" fan. Some people need to chillax

[@supervegito2277]

+Anthony Starke Heh glad to know im not alone.

[@ashtielgreymark5465]

+TheDragonSmasher i don't like the prequels but the music is a master piece.

[@nailju28]

+TheDragonSmasher I also like the prequels, the might have plot holes, but are still great movies, specially the light saber fights. And I'm a huge Star Wars fan, I grew up with these movies .

[@silenig]

+TheDragonSmasher Yes. I was watching TPM the other day, thinking "what is so horrible about it"... Other than Jar Jar anyway, but he's just a stupid side character, not the focus... Still a different league than TESB, but a fun movie with a great lightsaber fight in the climax.

[@AirbenderHawk]

As Lord Vader would say: "Impressive, most impressive." John Williams made the film industry's golden since 1977. TPM's still the best prequel till this day.

[@ricardomarques2462]

Someone cries listening to this one? I do

[@CirrusRoD]

Hmm I'm not moved by that music but still I got goosebumps, it's more listening to across the stars that I could cry, if I had to pick one

This has to be the best conducted version The conductor REALLY UNDERSTOOD the tension and urge of this piece and it tells.

I felt he was rushed compared to other versions I've heard

@@d.a.thiewes7703 Because this is in the right tempo, unline the other performances on YT.

I remember watching Phantom Menace thinking no way there’s no way the music will be memorable as the first trilogy. Then the lightsaber battle 🤯. John Williams is the goat

[@realitylime4896]

[@gorpand]

Why am I seeing this only 10 years later??? This is really really really good. This very thick dark sound like thunder is fantastic. I am amazed that after all these years since The Phantom Menace it can deliver a whole new perspective.

[@thejanusproject32]

That would be A-MAZING to see Live. They played it at the proper speed. Hot damn that was AWESOME

[@G.S.Productions]

Yeah, I’m just picturing a chase scene in a movie at this speed this music’s playing.

[@oobrocks]

A great composition + a great orchestra = human beings at our best :)

[@TheGuyWithTheSniper]

I love this performance. It adds in what the original version sorely lacked: strong percussion :)

[@iberius9937]

Yes.....but a strong, enunciated choir is sacrificed here.

[@roberto8650]

@@iberius9937 I was going to say the same thing. I feel like the choir was a bit mushy and, in any case, poorly miked.

[@elzee5117]

Super tight rhythm!! Something other videos interpreting this piece don't seem to quite get

[@PragueFilmOrchestra]

It’s easy piece yet very hard at the same time. It’s too many pieces and connecting pieces which even slight delay in solo or section can mean complications. It’s not easy piece to play live without clix in my opinion - conductor

[@spartandud3]

I won't lie. There's alot of attractive people in this orchestra.

[@elysianpetrichor8361]

I like the Prague Orchestra much more than the London Orchestra when performing this piece. It's probably because I've heard Prague first but the Prague Orchestra sounds much more dramatic and really fits in with the movie scenes.

[@jetuber]

Of all of the live-orchestra-performance videos of Duel of this Fates, this one features the most majestic concert hall -- and that definitely adds considerably to the overall effect. The hall even features reddish accents in the woods and walls -- a Sith hue. Pity the choir isn't large/strong enough to make a sufficiently powerful impression. Not a bad orchestra, though.

[@TacitusMS1]
