Half way through writing this, Mascagni threw the manuscript in the bin but luckily his wife found it and told him to continue with it and not give up till he completed it. So glad she retrieved it from the bin. One of the most beautiful and yet haunting pieces of music you are ever likely to hear.
Now I am a guy from the hood, Motown all the way R&B etc, yet.... Just to show the power of music to transcends one perspective I have listened to this piece 186 times with tears streaming each time! No one except those on this post will ever know.
Music... THIS kind of music is transformative! I feel (sad and) sorry for those who don't get an opportunity to experience the depth and complexity of classical music. GREAT to get your perspective
I got to hear this in person. I was playing in an orchestra but I did not play in this song. It really is like that. I play this song and think of the memory being in the cathedral with the music playing so beautifully. I highly advise you to one day find a concert where this song is being played. Hearing it in person is life-changing.
Larry, your post is the absolute reminder of how music touches our souls! Any music, its a pleasure to me as a proud italian/portuguese to read your words, watching this beautiful cavalleria rusticanna being played by this japanese orchestra! Being also a big fan of the motowon / RB having grown up listening to it! Fantastic and wish we can enjoy more of any form of art that makes us feel humans!
Back in the fifties when i was 15, much to my Dad's disgust I had bought a lot of rock and roll records.He asked me to buy some decent music. I had no idea what that was, but the old gentleman at the record store was a help. My Dad was a very tough bricklayer, but when I played this for him the tears were running down his cheeks. I had never seen my Dad cry before. Every time I hear it now it has the same effect on me.
My Dad introduced it to me and we played it at my Mum's funeral and my late wife's funeral and now I am playing Jean Valjean we are playing it throughout the last dying scene. I will be in tears giving my lines if no-one else is!!
What a touching story and memory. It's one of a few pieces that really moves me, both in a good way and sad, in remembering those I've lost. Thanks for posting
I've seen maybe 10 or 15 videos of this intermezzo, and I can say without doubt that this is the best. What makes it so special is the small silence before the crescendo and the maestro Lim Kek-Tijiam sigh. A masterpiece. 14 years later still resonates.
Exactly👍 I also adore Karajan's performance of 60s. Ive been obsessed with Intermezzo and Preludio for over 50 years and my strong adoration of Cavalleria is becoming even stronger❤️
I chose this intermezzo to be played at my grandmother's funeral, exactly when the coffin was accessing the room... I could barely hold my tears. Now, everytime I hear to this opera my grandma comes to mind. All the beautiful moments we shared along the 28 years we lived "together" on this earth. I will never forget her love, I will never stop loving her.
Maestro Lim Kek-tjiang passed away 15 June 2017 in Melbourne, Australia. I too, am lost for words at 1:35. He knows it, he feels it, he appreciates it, and takes it into his soul. His expression of his love for his music will live on, thru us.
Incredible: I got the same impressions you did. The maestro's sight is evident, and so is the reason why: he feels, he hears, he appreciates, he is totally involved, he really loves it, and so do I. Unforgettable.
So eloquently put... I will also mention though it is not apparent in this video but Maestro Lim always bows to his orchestra before bowing to the audience, "first be grateful to your staff"
I have goosebumps. It's so beautiful it makes me want to cry. I don't understand why there aren't more young people enjoying this instead of reggaeton or trap.
The Japanese seem to really like this piece a lot. I've heard it on several anime and even as insert music for like commercials and insert cards from their media. I also heard a Japanese HS symphonic band do it here in Texas just a couple years ago.
The most beautiful piece of music in the world, I play it every night it calms me before I sleep and helps me cope with the loss of my son last year.It will be played at my funeral when hopefully we will meet again ❤
Whether it be the death of Michael Corleone, Lim Kek-tijang, Jake LaMotta fighting or even Hollis Mason getting beaten, can we all agree that this piece of music is stunning and that it doesn't matter how someone is introduced to this. It's just wonderful that they are.
persevere and thrive through adversity of our own making. we make mistakes, but we try our best each time. music and all the joy's of life are the breaths of fresh air we reward ourselves with for overcoming our darkest moments
This was played at my sisters funeral chosen by her. I burst into tears as I have also chosen the same piece. Have loved this since the 1970s when I bought my first classical music LP.
I got married with this song I spreaded my parents ashes into the air, with this song I have baptized my children with this song I want to be remembered with this song I´m haunted with song....
I played it in my father's ear as he passed away from Alzheimer's. He was unconscious but somehow I hoped that the last thing he heard on this earth was beautiful music.
i agree, when i saw this opera at Sydney Opera House the conductor actually sighed as well.......along with the audience who were hanging onto every note ohhhh i love so much
My Grandmother worked In service in a large house near Bristol when she was 12. Her hands were freezing going to work one morning so when she got in the kitchen she put her hands in warm water that was in the sink. This would be 1912. She was getting some relief when she heard what she said was the most beautiful music emanating from the living quarters upstairs...Years later she found out it was this piece. I love this version. It reminds me I'm standing on her shoulders🥰.
Livorno is known in English as "Leghorn," home of the Leghorn chicken, which became famous due to the cartoon character Foghorn Leghorn. I wonder if the kids (and adults, for that matter) who watch the cartoon know of Foghorn Leghorn's "Italian connection!"
14,000 TIMES just in Italy: For those who were moved by Mascagni's music... I will post this from Wikipedia! Although Mascagni had started writing 2 other operas earlier, Cavalleria rusticana was his first opera to be completed and performed. It remains the best known of his 15 operas and 1 operetta. Its success has been phenomenal ever since its first performance (with 40 curtain calls). At the time of Mascagni's death in 1945, the opera had been performed more than 14,000 times in Italy alone.
RIP Lim Kek-tijang, Maestro. Your face as you hesitated for a second before the music carried on was a mirror reflecting the beauty of this most wonderful piece ever composed. Thank you, for the joy and tears.
I have found this piece again after a few years and what I have concluded is that this is as near to perfection as you will ever hear. This brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
It makes me inexplicably sad to know that he died. Just looking at how happy he was conducting this masterpiece makes me believe he was a great person with a golden soul. That smile made this video all the more powerful and that man is now dead. Jeez, that makes me sad.
I only discovered this version early in 2018. :( But I'm floored with this Chinese orchestra's version. It's so pure the way he conducted it. These guys play this Italian composer's music better than the Italians!
It just lifts me up to great heights. Keeps listening to it. What a good idea to play it at my funeral..not v v far away. Ok ' probably w/o awake yo listen to it
This is really a lovely song, so deep, so immensely sad... so beautiful. it seems that it speaks from inside of someone who looks back on life, its joys, its sorrows, its travails, and finds it all so profound that no words can describe... lovely.
This piece of music has got me through my whole life, first heard in as a young boy on TV in a Kleenex advertisement and it really touched me, used to come home from Saturday night mass to the house to myself and turn off the lights in the living room and just close my eyes and listen to it . Definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of music every written . Thank you Pietro Mascagni .
My mother loved that. She asked for a recording to be played at her funeral. We did and we cried when it was played. It still makes me cry now, every time.
Una de las mejores interpretaciones del intermezzo de Pietro Mascagni que he escuchado, se nota como disfruta el Sr. director y como se embeleza con ciertos pasajes de la pieza musical, !nótenlo¡
Music lifts my soul, especially fine music with beautiful melodies. The beauty was so thrilling that I had to restrain myself from crying. I danced with a ballet company and a major opera company, so this program brought back memories almost forgotten. Thank you.
this song is exactly how it feels to fall in love when you’re slowly settling into it and it’s almost bittersweet and there’s no big eureka moment but a gradual realization that they mean so much more to you
What a beautiful piece of music. It makes the hair's on your back tingle. My father used to whistle this all the time when I was young. It brings tears to your eyes. Amazing. It will definitely be at my funeral. Take care all. John
Stunning performance of one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. My old Dad was always humming this as we grew up and it still brings me to tears. ❤
this is quite simply one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. And to think that it was an afterthought so that Mascagni could join the two acts of his newly written opera into a single act so as to be able to enter it into a contest. Needless to say - he won.
@@ms.annthrope415 “Never really caught on”. What planet are you on Ms Thrope? It is one of the most popular short operas there is, often combined with Pagliacci in a double bill.
The Evergreen Symphony Orchestra is a Taiwanese orchestra founded by Chang Yung-Fa Foundation of Evergreen Group in 2001. The orchestra is featured by bringing up talented Taiwanese players........ And this version is the best I’ve ever heard...........superb!
I hear two things too. A fall of a mans empire (Business or influence) . The other being the rise of a man looking into a hopeful future. A rise of an empire (business or influence)
Masgagni wasn't happy with the Intermezzo, so he balled up the score and threw it in the trash. His wife, who had heard him writing it, pulled it out and put it back on his desk. She eventually convinced him to keep it. For which I am grateful.
non a caso è considerato dal pubblico e dai più grandi esperti di musica classica, il più bel pezzo strumentale di tutta la musica lirica. E come diavolo dargli torto! MASCAGNI, ovunque tu sia, grazie da tutti noi comuni mortali.
this song has probably saved my life. it used to play every morning when I woke up, and it'd give me the strength to face each day. I finally watched cavalleria rusticana and that feeling has only strengthened, seeing santuzza's quiet strength even though she feels such endless pain.
+adrian virgilio yes you are so right... ... now listen to the Ave Maria intermezzo from Cav Rus.... Ave Maria Intermezzo Cavalleria Rusticana - Plácido Domingo & Sissel Live

Bellissima musica di P. Mascagni, Intermezzo, grazie , è fantastico ❤🎶💯💫🔥✨♥️
My Mum used to play this in an Orchestra.
She's been gone nearly 5 years now and it still makes me think of her and cry.
Love you Always Mum xx
ManUtdMrs 💕
She will continue to play this piece in heaven
ManUtdMrs I’m sorry for your loss
No, no. Don't you cry, celebrate her life. And the beautiful music she performed, not many can play such magnificent pieces.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's the year 2016 and it'still the best piece of music I've ever heard...
❤
Its good and I also like Gabriel Fauré - Pavane, Op. 50
also Albinoni Adagio in G Minor, these are music pieces that transport to a different dimension.
Pienso lo mismo! Esta canción es Dios (o todo lo que esa palabra signifique).
Beethoven's 5th - pure genious as well ;-)

the sigh at @1:36? I loved the reassuring smile, too :)
This could be the saddest or the happiest composition you've ever heard, depending on the mood.
For me is always the saddest

This is Definitely my favorite song.
Most beautiful piece of music
The decay of society or should I say it’s degeneration of societal values & morays. Music is the expression of society’s values !!!
This was my Grandma's favourite . She used to play it on the piano ..it upsets everyone to hear it now 😢♥️
I don't know what excites me more, the Intermezzo or Lim Kek-Tijiam sigh. Thank you both, goodbye forever Master Lim
This song was used in Rurouni Kenshin. It was so perfect and I had to find it. What a masterpiece.
I was looking for this comment! Brilliant composition placed at such a heart wrenching scene. It was so parallel to the actual opera.
@Hawking Chair Can you remind me the name/number of the episode? Just remember it a moment ago and wanna revisit it.

Its booked to play at my funeral so beautiful
No written words can aptly describe the beauty of this piece

I do! Thank you Mr. Jameson
This. Exactly this....
The use in Raging Bull (Jake LaMotta's decline) is absolutely heartbreaking.
Never heard any orchestra play this better than these guys. Stunning and so moving. Beautiful.
Paula Harris certainly is a masterpiece.

Probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard, after my childrens' first cry
Really

Muy bella composición incorporada en la banda sonora de la película Ragging Bull.. con Robert de Niro.
Life seems beautiful again.
This piece of music is one of the most beautiful things ever created by man, or to have existed in this universe
Agree! Its somtimes called the most sad music piece.😢
💯
Some men create bombs to kill millions of people yet this man wrote one of the most beautiful pieces of music you will ever hear.
...And Lord God is listening.
Inspiração divina. O homem não tira isso de si próprio...
what has humanity done to deserve a masterpiece like this
Succeeded... at least, in one way or the other,
Mercy is not earned, it is granted.
Throughout listening I assume it still does not deserve such precious things, does it?
persevere and thrive through adversity of our own making. we make mistakes, but we try our best each time. music and all the joy's of life are the breaths of fresh air we reward ourselves with for overcoming our darkest moments
What is man that you are mindful of him or the son of man that you visit him
One of the most beautiful pieces in the world.

The exhalation of conductor at 1:37 is aligned with the deep feelings he demonstrates in the summit of the performance
I completely agree. That is why I keep on getting back to this piece.

Wonderful classical music. Remind me of the Movie - Godfather as well.

Me too buddy such a powerful sad ending.
También siento que es la música más bella que existe. No encuentro palabras para expresar todo lo que transmite.

Stunning performance of one of the most beautiful pieces ever written. My old Dad was always humming this as we grew up and it still brings me to tears. ❤
The internet was made for music like this to live on.
this is quite simply one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. And to think that it was an afterthought so that Mascagni could join the two acts of his newly written opera into a single act so as to be able to enter it into a contest. Needless to say - he won.
Una grande musica da un grande toscano
I did not know the latter. Totally echo your first sentiment. That it's the intermission makes me shake my head in awe.
Unfortunately, Cavalerica Rusticana never really caught on and Pietro Mascagni has his one hit wonder.
@@ms.annthrope415 “Never really caught on”. What planet are you on Ms Thrope? It is one of the most popular short operas there is, often combined with Pagliacci in a double bill.
Sensational.
This is my favourite piece of classic music. It's just beautiful
Es la mejor interpretación que he escuchado del Intermezzo de "Cavalleria Rusticana". Y he escuchado unas cuantas. Soberbia! Maravillosa!
Ahhhh!!!! The "sigh" moment at 1:35 makes me shiver every single time!! (and cry some of those times!! ;)
Xiana Albor Oh me too, never fail
I cry every time.
yes me to as I am now as I write this Xi An
2020 anyone with me listening to it ? I grew up with classic music. 67 years now and still love it more than I did when I was a kid.
Une pure merveille d'une intensité inégalée, toute l'âme des asiatiques pour transmettre la profondeur des sentiments 👏🙏🎶💓🎶✨✨
Of all the renditions, for me this takes the biscuit, sublime.
The Evergreen Symphony Orchestra is a Taiwanese orchestra founded by Chang Yung-Fa Foundation of Evergreen Group in 2001. The orchestra is featured by bringing up talented Taiwanese players........
And this version is the best I’ve ever heard...........superb!
Sometimes I hear a sad ending to a romance novel , other times I hear a requiem , but tonight it’s a wonderful lullaby.. Sublime !
I hear two things too. A fall of a mans empire (Business or influence) .
The other being the rise of a man looking into a hopeful future. A rise of an empire (business or influence)
Tovar yes, as in Godfather 111.....except maybe it was the fall from grace.
A brilliant Conductor. Amen Thank you. From Brunei
Es realmente maravillosa!
I cry half the time cus was a my grandpa’s funeral and will certainly be at my mum’s 😰
Masgagni wasn't happy with the Intermezzo, so he balled up the score and threw it in the trash. His wife, who had heard him writing it, pulled it out and put it back on his desk. She eventually convinced him to keep it. For which I am grateful.
Jeffrey Rutter best thing she ever did
Great story, bro. Utter horseshit, but great story.
Mascagni*
it was probably the second half he disliked; the opening is great
For which WE are deeply grateful
The look on the conductors face says it all , wonderful
non a caso è considerato dal pubblico e dai più grandi esperti di musica classica, il più bel pezzo strumentale di tutta la musica lirica. E come diavolo dargli torto! MASCAGNI, ovunque tu sia, grazie da tutti noi comuni mortali.
Sono d'accordo cento per cento:-))
D'accordissimo. Viva l'Italia 🇮🇹
Thanks to Samurai X, for bringing me here. What a masterpiece.
this song has probably saved my life. it used to play every morning when I woke up, and it'd give me the strength to face each day. I finally watched cavalleria rusticana and that feeling has only strengthened, seeing santuzza's quiet strength even though she feels such endless pain.
Absolutely sensational. Love from England UK ❤
I think I'll never be able to listen to this piece of music without crying. It's automatic.
Thank God for the mother of Pietro Mascagni. Forever.
j'adore j'adore j'adore j'adore, j'adore, j'adore c 'est magnifique sublime
This music is just one of the most beautiful creations ever... everytime I hear it I feel free
Best performance of this great Artwork I ever heard. Bravo Evergreen Symphony Orchestra. The sound is just right!!
Who would say, humans can make terrible things like weapons but can also make beautiful things as this song.
+adrian virgilio you're wrong. this is more than just a song... it is a musical piece
+Daniel Trinh A fantastic piece of art.
+adrian virgilio yes you are so right... ... now listen to the Ave Maria intermezzo from Cav Rus.... Ave Maria Intermezzo Cavalleria Rusticana - Plácido Domingo & Sissel Live
exactement
+adrian virgilio Adriono, you are so right! Wow, how can we be so cruel and, yet, so divinely capable of nurturing souls?
Whatever the emotion or memory, this beautiful piece of music evokes it every time.
One of the most beautyful and most favorite classics of the world!
My headmaster at junior school used to make us listen to this at least once a week. I never forgot it
He was right .
