[@delzworld2007]

Whenever I watch performances by this orchestra, I am always struck but the look of pleasure in the face of the conductor Nejc Bečan. He's proud of what these young musicians are achieving, and so he should be.

[@Yonatova]

This orchestra is SO OUTSTANDING! I just love everything they do.

[@delzworld2007]

I absolutely agree

[@indrekkpringi]

It's too slow. Listen to older performance by older orchestras.

[@OldPannonian]

What a talented orchestra! I am totally taken aback. My memories of Slovenia are from Jan-June 1957, when those kind people accepted us, Hungarians and took care of us after we had escaped Hungary, which was shattered by the Soviet Union. Our gratitude is endless and I celebrate Slovenians at any opportunity where I can.

[@robertfredricks8549]

Written by a world biochemist. Thank you Alex Borodin.

[@hansel1jensen]

Thanks for letting us know that he was a biochemist!!! I am touched!!! I am a biochemist and just a days ago I sang Polovtsians dance with my University Chorus. Tears in my eyes. Thanks.

[@violetgruner754]

Ah!! What talent, what beauty... I must go to that wonderful country called Slovenia.

[@gregorymiddleton1076]

Absolutely brilliant, tears in my eyes

[@francois-mariearouet2157]

Exactly!

[@ingriddurden3929]

Just discovered this orchestra a few days ago, going through all the pieces they performed. What a wealth of talent ! Thanks for sharing !

[@kennethpack1963]

Thought I would come back and listen again, glad I did...

[@howellwong11]

Wonderful. I may be American, but my taste for music is like that of Slovenia.

[@paulbrower3297]

Despite having no known Slavic ancestry, I consider myself musically a Slav.

[@dushkasweitzer4414]

Great! A pure enjoyment! Music is universal. I cannot get to a concert in any other way these days. Discovered this only few days ago. Slovenia has a lot of talent and so have all Slavic/Slavonic people. We can all forget the virus for a while.

[@ОльгаНиколаевна-т4ь]

Даже не верится, что это ученики. Великолепно!!!!!! Браво!!!!! И хор, и оркестр!!!! 👍

[@williamford9564]

I love this orchestra.

[@erichmichaelis7521]

Музыка Бородина очень красочно изображает обстановку и сюжет оперы, создаёт соответствующую атмосферу. Спасибо!

[@nataliavladimirova4274]

Какие прекрасные дети, браво Словения!!!

[@richardleduc3544]

Merveilleuse interpretation. Tres bonne prise de son tres bien balancee. Bravo.

[@dushkasweitzer4414]

Listening to the Gimnazija Kranj talents. Can't get enough of them.

[@pochpochglx6940]

Same feelings. I simply cannot stop watching and listening. Bravo

[@painpaul2024]

Tjs agréable d'écouter les merveilles de Borodine !

[@margaritamora2350]

I love Russian culture! El mundo jamás podrá suprimir el arte y la belleza de este milenario país!

[@ОльгаНиколаевна-т4ь]

Вы правы!!! Никогда!!!!

Nobody wants to suppress the art and beauty of this country

[@brunolombardini7342]

Super! Gimnazija Kranj stupendo ragazzi e ragazze splendide . ! Bravi bravi !!!!!

[@josettecruchet7633]

What a wonderful interprétation !!! I just listened to the Moldau of the same orchestra. Bravo to all muscians and conductor for these intense moments of joy and hapiness you make us vibrateur with emotions Metci merci hello from Paris

[@enriquecancino7519]

Awesome performance! Love this director and his orchestra! They haven't let me down yet. Keep up the great work.

[@sdorr]

A wonderful experience, this orchestra's performances! - I hope that the past four years have been productive!

[@yeguenianantranik4003]

GUYS, SO UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

[@НинаАлексеевна-щ9ф]

Восторг! Восхищаюсь этим музыкальным произведением и исполнением! Спасибо. Всех земных благ вам!

[@jorgetschebotarjew9063]

Music is a comun treasure for all humanity.

[@hlnbee]

I have always loved Borodin’s music. When I was a kid a neighbor had a Russian wolfhound named Prince Igor! And, of course, “Kismet” music!

[@fatimacanche9081]

Buenos dias divina obra de Borodin no sabia que es de este compositor , solo su bigrafia .Un principe .segunda ves que la oigo , gracias por ponerla

[@cereretrop]

Just discovered this Orchestra; Amazing talent!!

[@franknatra5281]

Спасибо словаки!

[@Milan682]

Нет, они словенцы!

[@blank_white_paper_revolution]

so many good looking people！not only good for the ears，but also for the eyes！

[@ladislautoth864]

Super krasnij!!!!!! atât Laszlo din Timișoara

[@mystic48209]

Their voices are beautiful. More so as their voices mature. Its a real treat when you hear the older mature contralto female voices. And the males with their almost basso profundo voices.

[@robertfredricks8549]

What a great beautiful musical experience.

[@glennstep1]

Never enough words. Thank you!

[@pochpochglx6940]

Merveilleux, tout se caractérise par l'excellence. Un très grand merci pour ces instants de bonheur et tous mes voeux de prospérité à ces jeunes génies et à leur chef

[@enriqueramos438]

Que hermosura voces, interpretación coral y sin fónica, saludos desde Mexico

[@fideitoaldente]

Genial!👏👏👏👏👏

[@2529john]

Zevnikov I note that over the years orchestra members change,but how,just how do you find such new talent every year??Another wonderful performance.. Slovenia must be blessed with a weatlth of musical talent!!....Yet again well done!!

[@vima8680]

And, also VERY important a great audience!!!!

[@richardfroiland5703]

Good schools.

[@einardahl6955]

My guess is that the driving force behind this orchestra is the conductor. Just watch him carefully...

[@danilovargas9769]

Unión prodigiosa, el talento de Nejc Becan y el Talento de la juventud, una maravilla.

[@andreacaso3722]

Questa è la più bella delle vostre esecuzioni delle Danze Polovesiane. Vi ammiro tanto ma questa volta ancora di più. Bravissimi tutti.

[@christianbalan3247]

Молодцы - Bravissimo ! O perfecă interpretare !

[@sergiothedancer]

I had never seen such a beauty, youth and talent reunited!!!

[@cazacumihail3671]

Another youth and talent reunited is in bolero kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnzWiYOnaNOYmrs

Beautiful performance. Enjoyed watching and listening!

[@silviarivero8125]

Excellent performance

[@joebg47]

Wonderful. Thank you.

[@bellatrix1946]

Fast unschlagbar - ich kenne beinahe alle Versionen - aber diese feinen, eleganten jungen Leute mit einem Funken spruehenden Dirigenten, der unsichtbar mit allen MusikerInnen und SaengerInnen verbunden ist. Ganz, ganz grosse Klasse. Einmal wird und muss es mir gelingen, live dabei zu sein!

[@crcanassr]

Wonderful!

[@jeanphilippeguervain1119]

Quelle jolie interprétation merci beaucoup pour cette enthousiasmante version si bien servie par de jeunes musiciens l enregistrement audio est de très bonne qualité et c est vraiment très bien filmé félicitations et merci pour ce joli partage

Can't thank you enough FANTASTIC...

[@bird271828]

Zevnikov, I love this piece of music. I used to listen to it during my childhood. It brings back good memories of my life. Thank you for sharing :-)

[@mariannapapoutsopoulou182]

Bravo!!!!

[@donreed]

SUPERB. Now, it's time for dinner. Care for an hor dourve?

[@carlosinsfran6112]

Excelente interpretación para tan excelente creación musical que nos introduce mágicamente en el instante en que se funden dos culturas de Accidente y Oriental y tienen la suerte de crear un estilo musical nuevo de los pueblos del Caúcaso y el sur del Gran Rus. Gracias por presentarlo tan maravillosamente.

[@ahmedvahed5794]

Just fantastic! Thank you.

[@JuanGuzman_17]

Glorioso!!!!!!

[@JesusMartinez-og3bg]

Que inspiración de los grandes maestros. En esta época que ya no hay mucha calidad en la música, es un deleite escuchar estas maravillas.

[@Alejan]

So beautiful ❤

[@narayanan26]

As usual a great performance from the Orchestra, At 6:31 I thought choir will drown the sound of instruments but no Silence of the choir is deafening

[@julietted.2951]

D'une beauté !!!!

[@ngingengtran7379]

好👌好聽好轻松非常感謝大家謝謝🙏您們。

[@BobACNJ]

Spectacular! Thank You.

[@fatimacanche9081]

wonderful

[@antoniocarloscunha6364]

Portuguese: Fico pensando se o mundo em vez de admirar exercitos prestigiasse orquestras, como essa. Esses jovens, ao contrário dos soldados que pensam lutar pela pátria, na verdade lutam por interesses escusos de seus líderes, esses jovens músicos dão o melhor de sí por um resultado que une as pessoas através do encanto da música. Parabéns Kranj Symphony Orchestra.

[@albertogarciaarango2411]

Magistral...

Thank you again. To think where our bicycles might take us.

[@ReyelBraz1950]

My God, what a great video! Thank you very much, dear zevnikov!

[@xavierbordes1373]

Ce chef est décidément plein de maturité, et pour une telle pièce, archi connue, il arrive tout de même à faire comme un "lifting" et à conférer une sorte de fraîcheur à ce qui est un élément majeur de l'oeuvre de Borodin... Notamment par sa façon de "balancer" les rythmes...

[@joseluizvarella5298]

Like (3) maravilhoso!!!! Grato.

[@philwalton2009]

Well done orchestra. Lovely to hear it sung in a language other than English. One complaint we didn't get the choir call the way through singing the Khan parts especially at the finale! Also missed the Dance of the Polovtsian Maidens at the very beginning

[@JanMamea]

Miło słuchać perfekcyjne wykonanie- brawo Rosja!.

Recién ahora caigo de que es una orquesta eslovena,muy buena ! Creí que era rusa porque sobresalen en lo colectivo..

[@egmardealmeidamiron]

[@narayanan26]

I felt cheated by you guys, With the choir and all I expected a grand performance of course it s a great performance by why use choir at al if you are going to leave out some parts

[@Alejan]

How can I find a full concert?

[@Alejan]

What is the name of the full cony?

[@db4Him]

There is a choir up there, but they are singing only a small part of the chorus sections. Listen to this one for the whole choral presentation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3ixgJWNnLplh9k
