I guarantee my daughter could match his talent. She is amazing at the oboe and I’m not just being a proud mother. She has had professional oboe players comment on how well she plays for only being 18. The head of a well known college in our state is trying to convince her to major in oboe.
Of all the videos of this beautiful piece there is no better than this by this gentleman. Ennio Morricone will be remembered for this piece for centuries to come!!
My mom played oboe for years while I was growing up. She’s still alive and well as of me writing this comment, but I know that when she eventually passes, I will always connect this song to her. She showed me and my brother the movie “the mission” when we were children and she played the solo for us once. Such a beautiful piece.
As I sat and played this version to a sufferer of dementia, I saw her entire posture change. She closed her eyes and her face was beaming with a loving and peaceful smile. It was so beautiful and heartwarming... Such a beautiful piece and such peace
Near the end of my dad's life from Alzheimer's there were certain hymns or pieces of music that I played and his breathing would slow and steady and he'd squeeze my hand. I wish I would have played this for him. He would have loved it.
That is what wonderful music is for. My mum passed a week after her 97th birthday in October 2019 before all the madness started. Thank God as my old Dad could not have visited her and the Dementia took her so peacefully. I took dad in December to see the Marriage of Figaro in the ROH and as we all loved that Opera it was so moving. Love to all music lovers especially Mozart operas which my Dad introduced me to. Andrew from Belfast
My son plays the Oboe and my wife asked him to learn to play it and then play it for her. He did....it was pretty good. She got to hear it before she left us. Played that same piece at her memorial service. So beautiful.
Of all the songs you could have happened upon… I’m glad it was this one. Beautiful indeed. Also, well done introducing and bringing music into your child’s world. Parenting A+
Totally agree. Truly amazing. Listening to this I actually feel the wave of notes washing over me. I have never experienced that with any other piece of music.
Some people said "shame on them, they never tributed Ennio Morricone any Oscar for his music themes".... Well, i'm sure in the next centuries, no one will remeber who won the Oscar for this movie or that movie, but everyone will remember Master Ennio for his music.
Correction: Morricone was nominated for an academy award for this music in the film "The Mission." He won 2 academy awards in total for other areas of recognition.
Absolutely! I never will understand how Ennio Morricone could create such a lovely piece. Gabriel's oboe is my favorite. Nothing like it. I learnt to play sax 50 years old to play this masterpiece. Ennio, thank you for the giant gift you gave to human race with your celestial music.
Twenty six years ago, I lost my 16yr old daughter Ellie to meningitis. At her funeral, her music teacher arranged this haunting melody to the words of the Lord’s Prayer. Ellie’s choir sang this so beautifully with tears streaming down their faces.

I share with emotion that so nice musik on FB and comment in french: I could use it in entry and walking slowly to the altar, or after the Gospel or after the communion and may be for the exit of church to go to cimetery, at left of our church. 26 years !!! i share my tears for Ellie because i think, that musik could be so important for the death of a teenager ! Today, 24 of Aug.2024, i will pray in koinonia with You and Her with honor ! Big kisses of gratitude from Gatineau, QUÉBEC ... XOX
Ellie is a guardian angel 😇😇😇 …. watching over her loved ones forever…. Ellie inspires us everyday…. To be better people…. This music evokes wonderful memories…. This music lifts our souls…. It eases the pain that never goes away…. ❤❤❤
I was a freshman in college, majoring in music, when my professor played this song for us. The first, and one of very few instrumental pieces to move me to tears!
It's been 40 years since I last played my oboe. After hearing this I am so inspired to drag my oboe out and play again. This performance was "perfection".
I Am just a country boy from Southeast Alabama USA first time hearing this instrument played. But my god what a wonderful sounding wind instrument. Thanks so much for sharing this with us out here in Southeast Alabama, USA.!☮️❤️

@@christophermichaelson9050 war eagle . Auburn university is one hell of an academic school. As an old meat processor i attended several classes at the on campus meat processing plant.

I would attend the Greek orthodox church downtown. We had A armed guard at the door because it was necessary and you know what I mean that was truly sad that they put up with that. I was really glad when I got away from Birmingham. Hope this finds you and your family doing well.
My father died in 2020- so, in the midst of all that silliness in that year, he requested for my brother to play this song at his funeral- it was banned, because it was deemed dangerous - he recorded it instead, and as our father planned and wished, it was played- and both of them got to rejoice that this piece of music absolutely represented the two of them x
@@anabellecorrigan-musicteac5120 I don't think the song itself was banned, it was just that a live performance of it would have required the brother to take off their mask if they were going to play the oboe, which would have risked the spread of COVID.
My uncle faithfully served his country in the Air Force for over 20 years. Sadly, he passed away from a heart attack recently, and this song was played at his funeral. I’m so thankful for the times that I had with him and that I will always have this beautiful song to remember him by.💔
Same. And I incorporated so much Henrik's version that when I listen to another one and there's no glissando (not sure this is the correct term, I mean the switch from a lower note to a higher one) at the end I'm like?
I agree with you. Beautiful sensitivity, awesome sustain on the notes that are just begging for it and a complete engagement with the orchestra.. Music is a wonderful and mysterious thing.
Non-oboe players will NEVER truly understand how noteworthy it is that he can make the lower and higher notes sound so effortless and blend so seamlessly together. That is SO hard to do. It’s like singing, it’s not easy at all to smoothly and softly go from low notes to high notes without straining or having a noticeable break in your range.
yea, i play the oboe and was actually just searching up what it sounds like since I'm currently learning it. His control and technique is unbelievable, I'm gonna have to practice a lot to get it like this
I find it strange but it is correct it reaches your soul ,it makes you happy and sad in equal proportion .This is special,I have listened to several players but this man is better in my opinion.
@@briansephton8777 I have come to believe that the essence of this song is beauty. And beauty is God... and that's why it goes straight to our souls... it speaks to the hunger deep within, for beauty, for love. And the beauty of this melody is such that it pierces the veil of noise and distraction that is this world... leaving us pining for God, for Beauty and Love Itself.
Such a simple tune that is yet the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes. That man, the myth, he created so many 'sounds' that haunt you for years.
My dad played this every night to almost perfection on his flute when I was a small child late into night. Makes me smile and tearful in equal measure . Beautiful piece .
Okay I came across this video about a year ago by accident when I was doing my school homework. I was in complete shock of how beautiful and breathtaking this song was and instantly I felt a connection with it. A few weeks later I mentioned the song to my band teacher. She said she had heard of it and that it was beautiful. A few weeks after that I had a lesson with her (I play oboe myself) and she was stressing about the music selection for our concert. I (without thinking) offered the idea of performing this piece... she loved it. She told me we would perform this piece and I was over the moon exited. That was a year ago and now in three days I will be performing this beautiful work of art as an oboe soloist accompanied by my middle school band. This song, this oboist, even the conductor and the band sparked something within me so strong I had no idea I could even feel. I love this song with all I have and I hope to do it justice on our concert.
I, like you, played oboe once when I was in middle school. However, unlike you, I didn't love the instrument, I thought it produced the most annoying sound ever... The only reason I played it in middle school was because my band teacher told me I had a talent for it. Apparently not everyone can play this instrument, let alone produce a sound from it. The reason I'm telling you this is because just recently I listened to this piece and it made me shed a couple tears. Believe me, I am not a person who cries, I usually surpress my emotions, but something unexplainable happened... Hearing the beautiful sounds of the oboe took me back. It was as if the instrument want to prove to me just how wrong I was. This is a beautiful instrument, difficult to master, yes, but just be patient. It is one that requires patience, only then can you unlock it's heavenly sounds. I regret putting the oboe down 10 years ago, I was simply a naive little boy. I can see that I'm about a month late on this reply, sorry. I hope your concert went well. Don't forget to cherish these moments and believe in your self. Don't give up on oboe as I did. Best of luck buddy. I sincerely wish you the best.
You ain't the first my friend, you won't be the last, I've cried buckets at this composition, although the morricone conducting morricone version with full choir gets me every time
One of the most amazing performances I've ever heard on TH-cam. This little, fragile, delicate instrument played so emotionally and powerfully at the same time. And the last few notes... that final octave jump blew my mind for the perfect sound tuning and most careful gentle touch... the orchestra did an outstanding job making sure the whole piece was gently carried forward and sustained perfectly. What an amazing musical content right here. 👏👏🙂✨️🎵🎶💙🎹 AL
For those young enough to not know this piece was made by Ennio Morricone (who passed away today) for the film 'The Mission' in 1986. For me, one of the best of all time.
I had an OST vinyl record of this film but lost, once you've heard this music, you will never forget, what a master piece, sad for today's children, they've never knew what they've missed....
Many years ago (in 1998, I believe), I worked at the K-Mart in the small Tennessee town I lived in. I worked with one of the most fascinating (and kind) people I've ever known, a man named Wayne. He was a former concert pianist of 20-something years. He had worked at half a dozen opera houses around the world over his career. We talked about music in many, if not most of our conversations. At the end of that year, he gave me a Christmas present of a handful of CDs of his favorite recordings of much of the music he had shared with me. My one significant contribution to our many discussions of classical music, was when I told him about how "Gabriel's Oboe" was one of the most beautiful pieces of music that I'd ever heard. His response was to gently correct my pronunciation of "Ennio Morricone," and to tell me that he was in a New York bar one evening, many years earlier, talking music through the night with Mr. Morricone. I'll never forget the year I spent having those many conversations with a man named Wayne.
A dear friend played this at her father's service last month. He played the oboe and listened to this and other classics as he faded over his final days. Now I play this on a loop as I paint. So inspiring. Thank you!
Bruno Z . Agree, often wonder if folk give a thumbs down for the heck of it.. This particular rendition is .. absolutely brilliant .. As another comment mentioned CDs, I also have this one too..
When a piece of music can allow you to close your eyes and feel your soul elevated so you want to stay in that moment, you've been blessed. This rendition of E. Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe preformed by Mister Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt and The Faroe Islands Philharmonic Orchestra takes me there. THANK YOU for making this piece more than music.
If you are interested in ethnic music, I played Gabriel's Oboe with my traditional Korean instrument. lol Please come and listen to my instrument. There are so many instruments in the world. Thank you. th-cam.com/video/FGt5XUPFZmU/w-d-xo.html
Yes! I put the theme to the mission at the top of my list and listen to it daily. I also like Yo-Yo Ma's rendition as well. I want this to be the last thing I hear as life slips away in my time. I swell with emotion every time I listen.
I grew up listening to Ennio Morricone's music. I never tire of listening to his breath taking soundtracks. I'm sad he died, I wish he could have lived forever.
Listening to this for the first time I realised I was familiar with the peice and was expecting the high note to sing out really powerfully, so when it softly floated out like that it was just this beautiful surprise that brought me to tears.
This was played at my mom's funeral afterparty, or whatever the correct term is, and it was just right. Her guardian angel was Gabriel and this piece just made sense. It will follow me to my own end. Bless you, mom, wherever you may be and thank you for all your support, kindness and for being you. I will miss and love you always. May you be forever surrounded by whomever you always desired to be surrounded by, and may they appreciate your company at least half as much as I have always done and ten thousand times as much as I love and miss you.
I play this while at work during out trial breaks. It seams to calm every one down and puts everyones head in the right place while the fight continues...
+777atmyplace RJM: Brought to the conflict... the everlasting Mercy of G_d and the short-lived Mercy of man... (Plucked from the Mission narrative) Thanks for sharing this touch of heaven - Henrik's solo is both passionate and imposing... jp\o/
One of the most ethereal, captivating and emotional melodies in the world! Pure beauty in it's finest form. If i ever could hear this live i would die a happy man... ❤
When I listen to this beautiful music I not only get goosebumps but it also brings tears to my eyes. How someone can compose this kind of music is beyond me. I could listen to Gabriel's Oboe all day long and would never get tired of it. As a matter of fact when it comes to the end I start all over again. Beautiful!
Testimony: GOD uses us in many ways.Out of all the instruments Oboe is my heart.I picked this instrument up in the 8th grade.Though I tried piano,cello,and for marching band and other ensembles I played clarinet.But nothing like the obeo.During a rough time in my life .This video came up.I was so intuned with this piece GOD used my gift and appeared Gabriel.He delivered me a message.I was so in disbelief because how can an Arc Angel that GOD speaks about thought I was worthy of comfort and peace.I still cry The gifts GOD has given each and everyone of us is so real.Music is so powerful.GOD bless those who this touches.
If that Gentleman had never achieved anything in his life up to this point, he has now just achieved perfection, thank you for allowing me to witness it. God bless your ability.
This playing by Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt is, in my humble opinion, absolute perfection! Such beauty, control, emotion, warmth, truly incredible, and a million times better than the playing in the film's soundtrack. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Yes, it is a fantastic piece of music. I lost my mom a few days ago. While driving with my Spotify on random this fantastic playing of a uknown to me great music. I got goosebumpsI, broke in tears and had to pull aside full of emotions unable to drive for a few minutes.
Adam Denman : Adam I agree with your comments. Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt plays it with such feeling and control - I love this so much and have it on my regular playlist. Brilliant!
Beautiful! I had the good fortune to see and hear maestro Morricone conduct his orchestra in the ancient amphitheater in Verona in 2018 , a lifelong dream come true. From the time I was little I would watch the spaghetti westerns so I could listen to his music . Gabriel’s Oboe takes me to a timeless space of pure bliss.Thank you Maestro and who keep preforming his music.
Lost count on how many times I've listened to this, and still, that last note amazes me. Of course he plays the whole piece beautifully but man... that last note.
I just started playing the oboe, and I know it will take me years to reach his amount of skill, practice, and hard work but I hope I can one day sound as good as him.
You will! With dedicated and humble practice, you will be rewarded with the means to produce this magical sound on your instrument. Faith, practice, and taking joy in the process!
The world has lost a great man who brought us so much pleasure with his wonderful composing. RIP E Morricone. Henrik Goldschmidt does this piece great justice
Hai dato genialità e arte alla nostra società. Grazie al tuo lavoro e alla tua passione rimarrai sempre nei nostri cuori. Grazie Maestro.❤️ You gave art and genius to our society. Thanks to your effort and your passion, you will remain for ever in our hearts. Thank you Maestro.❤️ With love, an italian boy.
This piece will always have a special place in my heart. I just finished arranging this piece for oboe and piano and will be playing it at my grandmas celebration of life next week. What a beautiful performance! We all will miss you Mema!
Every single person I've watched play this song, including this lovely oboe player, looks like it makes them want to weep. Having played it for the first time today, I completely understand. I sat and listened to it for the first time with my mouth hanging open and with tears running down my face before I even realized they were falling. Rest in peace, Maestro. You live forever by giving this gift to humanity.
When pure unrefined passion, a masterful script and the skill to portrait this respectfully, combine themselves, the result is an immaculate work of art that brings tears to my eyes for literally every time I hear it. One of the greatest pieces ever written. God bless Ennio Morricone (may he rest in peace) and Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt for the magic they have conjured.
I did not know, before today, it was possible to get this much emotion from an oboe. I can't describe how it made me feel other than it brought me to tears.
This is the best classic music I have ever heard. The person playing this music is Henrik H. Goldschmidt whom I have to pay a big respect for his kindness. I will never forget the day he dedicated me one of his best album. A lot of thanks Henrik for your generosity. Your generosity will never be. forgotten. I am sending my best greetings to you from Morocco.
Henrik, this is the most beautiful version of Gabriel's Oboe I have heard. Thank you so much for the opportunity to hear this. It is even more evocative today, as we mourn the loss of the incredible Ennio Morricone. Rest in peace, Il Maestro.
I think Mr Ennio Morricone must have experienced something supernatural, divine, when he started composing this beautiful and unique piece of music. It's so special! Each time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes, not of sadness, but of something so special that I cannot describe it. God bless him.
+j parks The Church is not evil. We humans are the ones who let evil work within us if we let it. Are you perfect? Have you never committed any simple errors deliberately knowing that you could make a better choice, even if you knew it for a second? Have you ever experienced joy when someone forgave you for something? I am glad to know that even with my imperfections I am called to convert and become a better person, a better Christian every day. Because of the mercy that I know has been granted to me, then I can be merciful towards others. If you really saw the movie, you would see it portraits reality as it was... with it's good side and bad side and how wonderful it was that many Jesuits gave their lives to protect the indigenous people of that region, how they respected their believes, how they respected each other. I would invite you to see the movie with an open heart and mind. Anyway, music is a gift and, indeed, beautiful when that talent is well used. Take care and happy new year 2016. :-)
mr. parks im an agnostic but i have to disagree with you the roman catholics and jesuits have done a lot of good things but its not pure because it has humans behind it. there are no such things as evil unless one human has no intention of being good .
I feel very blessed to find this in 2024. I am 91 and needed to hear this in troubled times. Thank you.
Bless you

No oboist even comes close to this performance. The clarity and control and emotional quotient is sublime. ❤
I guarantee my daughter could match his talent. She is amazing at the oboe and I’m not just being a proud mother. She has had professional oboe players comment on how well she plays for only being 18. The head of a well known college in our state is trying to convince her to major in oboe.
I’m afraid it’s a weak performance. The crescendo is lacking
Well, no soprano or equivalent instrumental soloist pays much attention to the accompaniment -- rhythmically they're a law unto themselves.
Iperoxo! This performance is so emotional! Me kavei na kleo!
As it always happens, some of these commentators don’t know what they are talking about!

It’s like singing, it’s not easy at all to smoothly and softly go from low notes to high notes without straining or having a noticeable break in your range.
The amount of air and control it takes. Whew.

It's the best rendition in my opinion! Have watched it so many times.. 👏👏👏❤️🇦🇺
Rest in peace Mr Morricone, may you rest forever among your fellow artists and with your divine music.
same - the reason why I'm here, the world has lost an incredible gift
A true legend
Sad day.
I shed a tear this morning.
@@TallDocK As did every other man or woman with a heart for music, a very sad day indeed
Reduces me to tears. Every time. Straight to the soul. Gah. How can such a beautiful sound exist in this world?
Oboes player, Goldschmidt, had to hold his tears while playing;i feel
@@maramarxx2431 Incredible understanding 👏 playing it over and over..
I find it strange but it is correct it reaches your soul ,it makes you happy and sad in equal proportion .This is special,I have listened to several players but this man is better in my opinion.
@@briansephton8777 I have come to believe that the essence of this song is beauty. And beauty is God... and that's why it goes straight to our souls... it speaks to the hunger deep within, for beauty, for love. And the beauty of this melody is such that it pierces the veil of noise and distraction that is this world... leaving us pining for God, for Beauty and Love Itself.
Such a simple tune that is yet the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes.
That man, the myth, he created so many 'sounds' that haunt you for years.
Maestro Morricone's legacy is a great gift to all of us.
Maestro Morricone has created a masterpiece for mankind to celebrate for centuries! Rest in Peace Sir, and thank you for your beautiful melody!
Beautifully played, one of if not the most emotive pieces of music ever written
The power of this piece, the purity of Henrik's playing, his exquisite timing and sensitivity all combine to bring reflective tears to this old man.
In my opinion this was his Mission: to spread heavenly music on us, poor human beings. ❤️
Creations like this make us less poor...
Only beauty will save us.
@@aprboone1 Grace is beautiful ...and in this case, the message and actions of grace were atually set into the musical score ...beautifully!
On earth as it is in heavens !
Indeed...❤
My dad played this every night to almost perfection on his flute when I was a small child late into night. Makes me smile and tearful in equal measure . Beautiful piece .
How lucky you were
I play it on my Irish tin whistle for my kids.
@@davehyer4178 my dad was inspired by James Galway.
Wow... I've never heard such a wonderful Oboe piece ever... I listened to this like 10 times I liked it so much
Probably the most beautiful theme from any movie in the 1980s, and even from the last 60 years or more. I really believe that. At least for me it is.
Hard to believe it was Oscar nominated but didn't win!!!
More than any scientific or mechanical invention of man, music has to be his greatest achievement.
Amen to that!
I'm voting for the harnessing of electricity and the invention of the transistor and the internet.
@@onlyme112 lol
It's the thing that unites us all. Totally agree with you, @evdanker
Ironically, without science, you wouldn’t have been able to watch this video, and it couldn’t have been recorded!
Okay I came across this video about a year ago by accident when I was doing my school homework. I was in complete shock of how beautiful and breathtaking this song was and instantly I felt a connection with it. A few weeks later I mentioned the song to my band teacher. She said she had heard of it and that it was beautiful. A few weeks after that I had a lesson with her (I play oboe myself) and she was stressing about the music selection for our concert. I (without thinking) offered the idea of performing this piece... she loved it. She told me we would perform this piece and I was over the moon exited. That was a year ago and now in three days I will be performing this beautiful work of art as an oboe soloist accompanied by my middle school band.
This song, this oboist, even the conductor and the band sparked something within me so strong I had no idea I could even feel. I love this song with all I have and I hope to do it justice on our concert.
Music is magic. Enjoy your performance with your friends!
Maria, can someone record this so you can post it to You Tube? We would love to hear it!
I'm sure you did.
so how did it went?
I, like you, played oboe once when I was in middle school. However, unlike you, I didn't love the instrument, I thought it produced the most annoying sound ever... The only reason I played it in middle school was because my band teacher told me I had a talent for it. Apparently not everyone can play this instrument, let alone produce a sound from it. The reason I'm telling you this is because just recently I listened to this piece and it made me shed a couple tears. Believe me, I am not a person who cries, I usually surpress my emotions, but something unexplainable happened... Hearing the beautiful sounds of the oboe took me back. It was as if the instrument want to prove to me just how wrong I was. This is a beautiful instrument, difficult to master, yes, but just be patient. It is one that requires patience, only then can you unlock it's heavenly sounds. I regret putting the oboe down 10 years ago, I was simply a naive little boy. I can see that I'm about a month late on this reply, sorry. I hope your concert went well. Don't forget to cherish these moments and believe in your self. Don't give up on oboe as I did. Best of luck buddy. I sincerely wish you the best.
This song is played while he's reaching heaven... Rest in Peace, Maestro. Your music touched me so hard....
😳
Probably this or “L’estasi dell’oro”, either way, he is and will always be missed.
uhhh wat
@@lebronjesus172 what?
@@pliskin179 it just sounded sus
It must be wonderful to compose music like this
And leave behind such a legacy for future generations to listen to.
I just curiously typed oboe on search and now i'm here crying because of this music, i wasn't ready for that...
Serendipity!
You ain't the first my friend, you won't be the last, I've cried buckets at this composition, although the morricone conducting morricone version with full choir gets me every time
Same😂
The same happened to me! It brought me to tears! Such a wonderful music!
I had this played at my brothers funeral today.
Magnificent version and it will always remind me of him. Bravo
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.Truly!!!!!OMG!!!
One of the most amazing performances I've ever heard on TH-cam. This little, fragile, delicate instrument played so emotionally and powerfully at the same time. And the last few notes... that final octave jump blew my mind for the perfect sound tuning and most careful gentle touch... the orchestra did an outstanding job making sure the whole piece was gently carried forward and sustained perfectly. What an amazing musical content right here. 👏👏🙂✨️🎵🎶💙🎹 AL
Das haben Sie so wunderbar beschrieben.
Morricone must have been in Heaven just before to write this masterpiece. Simply the best composer of our times, he makes me proud of being Italian.
For those young enough to not know this piece was made by Ennio Morricone (who passed away today) for the film 'The Mission' in 1986. For me, one of the best of all time.
100% agree!!!!! I have the CD currently in my disk changer.... old style here, still with CD's. :)
I love cds too. There is no comparison to having something in your hand. Also one of my favorite soundtracks of all time.
@@jadeddayz1276 I'm back on LPs.
I had an OST vinyl record of this film but lost, once you've heard this music, you will never forget, what a master piece, sad for today's children, they've never knew what they've missed....
Many years ago (in 1998, I believe), I worked at the K-Mart in the small Tennessee town I lived in. I worked with one of the most fascinating (and kind) people I've ever known, a man named Wayne. He was a former concert pianist of 20-something years. He had worked at half a dozen opera houses around the world over his career. We talked about music in many, if not most of our conversations. At the end of that year, he gave me a Christmas present of a handful of CDs of his favorite recordings of much of the music he had shared with me.
My one significant contribution to our many discussions of classical music, was when I told him about how "Gabriel's Oboe" was one of the most beautiful pieces of music that I'd ever heard. His response was to gently correct my pronunciation of "Ennio Morricone," and to tell me that he was in a New York bar one evening, many years earlier, talking music through the night with Mr. Morricone.
I'll never forget the year I spent having those many conversations with a man named Wayne.
The oboe really is truly amazing.
agreed.
10 out of 10 ducks agree
its a pain in the ass to play, though
coralasinthereef try playing with your mouth instead?
Thierry Dussuet HAH!
A dear friend played this at her father's service last month. He played the oboe and listened to this and other classics as he faded over his final days. Now I play this on a loop as I paint. So inspiring. Thank you!
Heavenly music - how can it be that 2374 people don’t like it? Even if it’s not everybody’s style you can’t deny the quality. People...
There are millions of tone deaf people.
Mostly because they think "proper" music sounds like

Bruno Z . Agree, often wonder if folk give a thumbs down for the heck of it.. This particular rendition is .. absolutely brilliant .. As another comment mentioned CDs, I also have this one too..
When a piece of music can allow you to close your eyes and feel your soul elevated so you want to stay in that moment, you've been blessed. This rendition of E. Morricone's Gabriel's Oboe preformed by Mister Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt and The Faroe Islands Philharmonic Orchestra takes me there. THANK YOU for making this piece more than music.
If you are interested in ethnic music, I played Gabriel's Oboe with my traditional Korean instrument. lol Please come and listen to my instrument. There are so many instruments in the world. Thank you. th-cam.com/video/FGt5XUPFZmU/w-d-xo.html
Yes! I put the theme to the mission at the top of my list and listen to it daily. I also like Yo-Yo Ma's rendition as well. I want this to be the last thing I hear as life slips away in my time. I swell with emotion every time I listen.
This is by far my FAVORITE performance of Gabriel's Oboe! Goldschmidt is amazing!
Hello
Good evening
How are you doing
SMELLY FANTASY!!!
Hello, good evening, how are you doing
I grew up listening to Ennio Morricone's music. I never tire of listening to his breath taking soundtracks.
I'm sad he died, I wish he could have lived forever.
Listening to this for the first time I realised I was familiar with the peice and was expecting the high note to sing out really powerfully, so when it softly floated out like that it was just this beautiful surprise that brought me to tears.
This was played at my mom's funeral afterparty, or whatever the correct term is, and it was just right. Her guardian angel was Gabriel and this piece just made sense. It will follow me to my own end. Bless you, mom, wherever you may be and thank you for all your support, kindness and for being you. I will miss and love you always. May you be forever surrounded by whomever you always desired to be surrounded by, and may they appreciate your company at least half as much as I have always done and ten thousand times as much as I love and miss you.
Very touching words ❤
You were very lucky to have had an obviously wonderful mum.
I play this while at work during out trial breaks. It seams to calm every one down and puts everyones head in the right place while the fight continues...

A genius composition by Morricone played by a genius musician. If there is a heaven, it sounds like this. Bellissimo !
Well said!
Genius
Know that every time I hear this heavenly song my prayers ascend for someone
One of the most ethereal, captivating and emotional melodies in the world! Pure beauty in it's finest form. If i ever could hear this live i would die a happy man... ❤
I had never heard this before. The first measure struck me in the heart and brought tears to my eyes, so lovely. Thank you.
Have you seen the film? The music throughout is gorgeous. The essence of the film (God's work) is captured beautifully in Morricone's music.
When I listen to this beautiful music I not only get goosebumps but it also brings tears to my eyes. How someone can compose this kind of music is beyond me. I could listen to Gabriel's Oboe all day long and would never get tired of it. As a matter of fact when it comes to the end I start all over again. Beautiful!
Whenever I listen to this piece tears come spontaneously from my eyes
Mohamed TABBI me too
Y, that's all.
So beautiful
When insomnia hits me, I play this. It never ceases to calm me, and bring me a sense of peace.
Every time I watch this I find something else that I missed before. Surely the best ever version of this beautiful composition.
the greatest theft of the Academy of the Oscars, Morricone only had the misfortune of being born Italian, music that touches the heart
I cry every time when ever I hear this. But especially today.
I cry too.
Signore Moriccone welcomes your tears...
:(
Me too. But just because it reminds me of my Grampa
Mr Goldschmidt’s rendition, this powerful emotional song was very helpful in my overcoming the emotional suffering of being wrongly divorced…
This is the best version of the song, I think. ♥️♥️♥️
Oh. My. God. Tears running down my face. I heard this as a teenager watching "The Mission" with my youth group at the theater.
I feel you brother
Testimony: GOD uses us in many ways.Out of all the instruments Oboe is my heart.I picked this instrument up in the 8th grade.Though I tried piano,cello,and for marching band and other ensembles I played clarinet.But nothing like the obeo.During a rough time in my life .This video came up.I was so intuned with this piece GOD used my gift and appeared Gabriel.He delivered me a message.I was so in disbelief because how can an Arc Angel that GOD speaks about thought I was worthy of comfort and peace.I still cry The gifts GOD has given each and everyone of us is so real.Music is so powerful.GOD bless those who this touches.
If that Gentleman had never achieved anything in his life up to this point, he has now just achieved perfection, thank you for allowing me to witness it. God bless your ability.
This playing by Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt is, in my humble opinion, absolute perfection! Such beauty, control, emotion, warmth, truly incredible, and a million times better than the playing in the film's soundtrack. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Yes, it is a fantastic piece of music. I lost my mom a few days ago.
While driving with my Spotify on random this fantastic playing of a uknown to me great music.
I got goosebumpsI, broke in tears and had to pull aside full of emotions unable to drive for a few minutes.
Adam Denman : Adam I agree with your comments. Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt plays it with such feeling and control - I love this so much and have it on my regular playlist. Brilliant!
What a touch, best performing ever. Painfully beautiful
Such an accomplished musician. Such emotion in his delivery.
Beautiful ❤
Fell in love with Morricone's music in my early teens .... more than 40 years later it still touches my heart and soul everytime I hear it
Thank you, Maestro Morricone, for all the beautiful music you gave us. RIP and enjoy hearing your music among heavenly admirers.
Hello
My daughter graduated today at Liverpool Cathedral and this masterpiece was played. It was always in my heart - now it is in my soul!
One of the greatest composers ever.
Beautiful! I had the good fortune to see and hear maestro Morricone conduct his orchestra in the ancient amphitheater in Verona in 2018 , a lifelong dream come true. From the time I was little I would watch the spaghetti westerns so I could listen to his music . Gabriel’s Oboe takes me to a timeless space of pure bliss.Thank you Maestro and who keep preforming his music.
Lost count on how many times I've listened to this, and still, that last note amazes me. Of course he plays the whole piece beautifully but man... that last note.
The passion of the man makes this piece perfect ,with the lady crying in the back ground just proves my point ,bravo
I just started playing the oboe, and I know it will take me years to reach his amount of skill, practice, and hard work but I hope I can one day sound as good as him.
You will! With dedicated and humble practice, you will be rewarded with the means to produce this magical sound on your instrument. Faith, practice, and taking joy in the process!
The world has lost a great man who brought us so much pleasure with his wonderful composing. RIP E Morricone. Henrik Goldschmidt does this piece great justice
Hai dato genialità e arte alla nostra società. Grazie al tuo lavoro e alla tua passione rimarrai sempre nei nostri cuori.
Grazie Maestro.❤️
You gave art and genius to our society. Thanks to your effort and your passion, you will remain for ever in our hearts.
Thank you Maestro.❤️
With love, an italian boy.
Had to come here after I heard of Ennio Morricone’s passing. I hope heaven sounds just like the beautiful music he has composed for “The Mission”.
Simply beautiful. I could listen to this for hours.
So absolutely beautiful!!! I've been listening to this every day--it soothes the soul!!! Thank Ennio Morricone!!!
This piece will always have a special place in my heart. I just finished arranging this piece for oboe and piano and will be playing it at my grandmas celebration of life next week. What a beautiful performance! We all will miss you Mema!
What a maestro. People like these inspire me to be a greater person, everyday.
Love from America.
The Lone Hunt love italy
This deserves that cheering at the end and more. What a breathtaking performance of an absolutely gorgeous piece.
That is the most beautiful song i've *ever* heard, and he did it the most beautifully i've heard it played.
Also we should not forget Mr. Goldschmidt's masterful rendition of this.
Every single person I've watched play this song, including this lovely oboe player, looks like it makes them want to weep. Having played it for the first time today, I completely understand. I sat and listened to it for the first time with my mouth hanging open and with tears running down my face before I even realized they were falling. Rest in peace, Maestro. You live forever by giving this gift to humanity.
When pure unrefined passion, a masterful script and the skill to portrait this respectfully, combine themselves, the result is an immaculate work of art that brings tears to my eyes for literally every time I hear it. One of the greatest pieces ever written. God bless Ennio Morricone (may he rest in peace) and Henrik Chaim Goldschmidt for the magic they have conjured.
I have never in my life heard anything so beautiful, and I have heard many beautiful pieces. Well done!
Such beauty is almost painful.

The first time I heard this beautiful piece of music , it touched my heart . He plays the oboe beautifully . Thank you .
I did not know, before today, it was possible to get this much emotion from an oboe. I can't describe how it made me feel other than it brought me to tears.
The more I listen to this music, the more it moves me... every time I listen to it. There is no end to its beauty. ❤
This is the best classic music I have ever heard. The person playing this music is Henrik H. Goldschmidt whom I have to pay a big respect for his kindness. I will never forget the day he dedicated me one of his best album. A lot of thanks Henrik for your generosity. Your generosity will never be. forgotten.
I am sending my best greetings to you from Morocco.
A beautiful piece of music played so superbly by the finest Oboist.
Henrik, this is the most beautiful version of Gabriel's Oboe I have heard. Thank you so much for the opportunity to hear this. It is even more evocative today, as we mourn the loss of the incredible Ennio Morricone. Rest in peace, Il Maestro.
Ja. Ich höre es immer wieder. Es ist für mich auch die schönste Interpretation.
We used “Gabriel’s Oboe” as our wedding processional. I still tear up every single time I hear it.
Heard this at my mates funeral yesterday in Lytham st Anne’s, it broke my heart when I heard it but what a farewell piece of music.
RIP W P Rodgers.
This is so beautiful that, surely, God must have touched it. I listen to this several times a day, and never get tired of it.
I think Mr Ennio Morricone must have experienced something supernatural, divine, when he started composing this beautiful and unique piece of music. It's so special! Each time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes, not of sadness, but of something so special that I cannot describe it. God bless him.
Yes it's heavenly music.
+j parks The Church is not evil. We humans are the ones who let evil work within us if we let it. Are you perfect? Have you never committed any simple errors deliberately knowing that you could make a better choice, even if you knew it for a second? Have you ever experienced joy when someone forgave you for something?
I am glad to know that even with my imperfections I am called to convert and become a better person, a better Christian every day. Because of the mercy that I know has been granted to me, then I can be merciful towards others.
If you really saw the movie, you would see it portraits reality as it was... with it's good side and bad side and how wonderful it was that many Jesuits gave their lives to protect the indigenous people of that region, how they respected their believes, how they respected each other. I would invite you to see the movie with an open heart and mind.
Anyway, music is a gift and, indeed, beautiful when that talent is well used. Take care and happy new year 2016. :-)
RikiSmiley Exactly!
mr. parks im an agnostic but i have to disagree with you the roman catholics and jesuits have done a lot of good things but its not pure because it has humans behind it. there are no such things as evil unless one human has no intention of being good .
Amen, amen!
Absolutely beautiful. Makes me miss playing the oboe so much. 😢 this piece brings tears.
Please take it up again, you'll be so happy you did!
