Thank you, sir
Thank you indeed
Thank you! I really appreciate the separate track cues. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you, sir!
a Jedi who knows James Bond as I know Yoda... music to my ears :)
My name is Bond, James Bond, and this is my favourite video on youtube
Defintely the best version of You Know My Name ever conducted.
Actually there is a better one here: th-cam.com/video/oXJEvkxX3xc/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, it really is. I checked out the version Marie linked, but no, this one is better. I saw some attempts by other orchestras, but none come close. They play too slow, use wrong notes or instruments, etc.
This version Keith Lockhart build is perfect, second to none.
Sadly still lacks Cornell's voice, which rendered any orchestral instrument - or even orchestra - immaterial. May his soul rest in peace.
True, +nickmcp71, I've always found YKMN to be one of the best of all the Bond songs, maybe even the best, despite the fact it's not the usual brassy songstress but a man belting it out. It sure did kick the Daniel Craig series off right.
I sometimes come to this video just for that. The others sound so suave, but they were meant for orchestra. You Know My Name was part of the new era of modern, harder sounding themes that, fair enough, have their own good points, but this version converted it to orchestra so effortlessly, it brought it straight back to the golden age of movies. Everyone will rightly focus on the brass but, for me, the percussion is what makes it perfect.
To bring it back to the point of modern-sounding themes, it's also fair to note that they got it very wrong with Die Another Day, but redeemed themselves very quickly with You Know My Name. Interesting too that, in Skyfall, they went back to the old-style chanteuse-type themes with Adele. Wonder what they'll come up with next.
You Know My Name is the best Bond song of all time, in my opinion. Some will disagree, but I personally just find it more epic and uplifting than any other Bond song to come before or after it, and that's just the kind of style I have an ear for :) This orchestra made a song I already love a million times better.
I completely agree all the others are rubbish.
+baseballrunner76 Nah -- it's Skyfall.
+baseballrunner76 it sounds amazing when it is played instrumentally not sung, but I also rate the thunderball instrumental
+baseballrunner76 Well, you must be joking. The song you have mentioned is just mild hash in comparsion with the master work of John Barry and others, who made great tunes in those times when James Bond on the screen was not looking like a rough scandinavian butcher with mimics of a stuffed bear.
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo. I'm absolutely agree whit you.
The "you know my name" cover is absolutely amazing. Also an amazing song
Best Bond medley I ever heard. This conductor knows the music and has a great sense of how it works. Superb, original job.
10:20 I love how one of the greatest guitar riffs in history is being played by a middle-aged guy in George Smiley glasses.
Love to Anne tee hee hee
6:46 awesome synchronized cello spins during "You Know My Name"
Never noticed that before, you made it better for me
+Hugh Jass great spot that. Wow it's almost like they're super secret spy cellists!
+jkjerome1 Lovely girl with the cello!
+Michael Palmer
Don't fancy yours on the left much though :D
lol... I was referring to Living Daylights.... that's what bond said to Saunders!
I’m a huge James Bond-fan since a little kid. This literally brought tears to my eyes, especially the main theme part at the end. Fucking greatest soundtrack ever! Long live 007!
The part at 6:49 gives me goosebumps every time I watch this. The whole arrangement is fantastic but their version of You Know My Name is sublime!
Damn that’s so true Bro✌🏼
It’s like a gun shot from a whalter ppk.
one of the coolest things ive heard, followed by the original theme. unreal. my dream to see casino royale with the live music at the royal albert hall
Best version I've ever found, to be sure.
@@James-rc6qq at this point I wouldn't want to see a James Bond medley live since nothing can come close to this performance in my opinion
I listen to this with the music cranked up often!, and often I feel weepy at how amazing it is!
Hands down one of THE BEST Bond medleys on YT!! I've played it so much that if it were a cassette from the old days it'd be shredded!!
Really, really conveys the sinuous swagger of the Bond Theme. Crank the subwoofer and let it rip!!
I concur !
Personally I think the Casino Royale theme is the most innovative and interesting of Bond themes for the last 30 years.
It is out on a limb all by itself. That is saying something given the quality of some of the themes...
I don't know if I agree 100%, but I must say that if its not the most, it is certainly one of the most.
Nevertheless nothing compared with John Barry's themes
Goldfinger is tops.
What we think as individuals doesn't make it so. Let's just sit back and enjoy it and try not to make comments to try and boost our ego's.
God, John Barry's Bond music was so superb
David Arnold still did a great job nonetheless (5:52). Especially w/ Tomorrow Never Dies. A shame that the studio swapped out "Surrender" for Sheryl Crow's song as the title theme.
TheAdam159 is superb
It's a work of art and science of just a few unbelievable
I must have watched and listened to this clip over 100 times and do not get tired of it. The orchestra looks as though they are having a blast.. iconic music from a wonderful franchise.
Same ❤
during the 60s i worked at skyline drive in theatres as a relief manager and saw all the bond movies so many times ,the music still takes me back to that time ,when live was not so complicated ,a great part of my early life .
I envy you sir !
Arsène Bird thank you for the comment ,i loved every moment of my work at skyline,our clients were great young people and loved our midnigt to dawnshows etc,we always had something special to offer we had a great senior management team ,and along came videos.progress,
These have to be some of my favourite pieces of music.. John Barrys music is just so expressive..as a musician its a joy to play..
I love how well 'You Know My Name' translates to the orchestra. So powerful. One of my favorite theme songs.
Simple the best orchestral composition/medley of the brilliant John Barry's, James Bond masterpieces !!! Bravo !!!!!
You know my name from Casino Royale is just about perfect for the beginning of the new Bond era with Craig. Sharp, taut, edgy and just SO good... I never get tired of listening to the theme, sung or orchestra.
How GOOD does 'You Know My Name' sound here? Better than the original!
Yep, and 'Night at the Opera' straight after it at 7:43 sounds way better than the original too.
I've only recently discovered this video but I've probably watched/listened to it about 30 times in the last few days!
Awesome music, would loved to have seen it live :)
would have been brilliant
Only 30?
Bless John Barry for having the talent to give us this wonderful musical pleasure..
That was incredible!!!!
The applause at the end is amazing! What a performance.
Love the sound of " Gold Finger " so deep and brings chills .
I was always aware of this music growing up over 50 years but took it for granted , this video footage of this magnificent orchestra when you listen and watch the timing , technical ability to create such a masterpiece is really quite awesome , I fully respect every effort in the participation from every player , this music should be appreciated, it remains my biggest regret of not being musically talented to this quality.
Such gloriously upbeat addictive & at times seductive music!
This music (like the films), will never age.
I can't stop watching this!!! This is such an awesome accompaniment. Please please please please never take this down! You just don't see this quality of video, either in content or clarity, in TH-cam. Well done!
5:53 AMAZING!
This is my favourite video on here. Just amazing.
Fantastic! I grew up watching Bond films and this music was brilliantly played.
Absolutely fantastic - they played my favourite versions too!
I really love to listen this orchestra. During this time I have forgotten everything except music.
Barry, williams,morricone, How spoilt we have been ..geniuses of our time...
Well older time but yes agreed
The Best James Bond medley on you tube.
To say it’s absolutely brilliant would be an understatement!
Brilliant can't stop listening to this fantastic music nothing better than James Bond
They really nailed the Bond theme. :D
brilliant
kenneth mcallister
Nothing beats bond
My Favorite Orchestral Music
RIP Chris Cornell. Thank you for bringing a great theme for James Bond.
Just before 6:50 the 'cello 360 degree spin!
And it must be in the best song!! You know my name!! :)
Nobody Does It Better Than John Barry!
I could listen to this repeatedly
Only a master like Keith can conduct a program like this !
Have often seen BBC Concert Orchestra "in the flesh" at Watford Colosseum. Absolutely fantastic and look forward to having the opportunity to seeing and hearing them again!
Damn, I want a full version of that You know my name segment...
what an amazing performance! I'm instantly transported back to the 60's. The James Bond theme song was such an integral part of the movie, it is as much associated with the film as the film itself.
From my view all GOD'S children shine no matter where you go. These been shining for a very long time.Please continue, what you all do shine, THANK YOU.
Thanks for many words of love. Symphony to youall
One word: OUTSTANDING !
The Goldfinger theme is the best!
Yes 4:20 best along with actual bond theme.
Outstanding piece of music and beyond iconic. So special!
The sincerity &the professionalism in the orchestra is awesome.Great work.
Silly as this seems, the John Barry James Bond theme and Monty Norman's music brings a tear to my eye.
It's not silly.
I'm no Classical music aficionado but this was fucking incredible!....obviously started with the famous but ended with the best!...Proud to be British!!!!!
Awesome. You only live twice, Goldfinger and of course the 007 theme are my favorites.
I find it really amazing that they included You Know My Name; Chris Cornell is one of my favorite musicians and this was a great version.
“You Know My Name” played by an orchestra really does sound like a classic Bond theme! And I love the inclusion of “Capsule in Space” from You Only Live Twice since most Bond medleys stick to the main themes and “007”. Would love to see one do Kara’s theme from The Living Daylights.
Capsule in Space is fucking badass
i have no idea how the conductor can resist not dancing at 11:01 haha!
Just thrilling!!!!!
James Bond is *COME BACK*
Wow, cuánta belleza !!! Gracias, maestros !!!
I want to see this live.
never delete this plz.
Wow--first theme is from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"! Great snow scenes in that one!
Isn't that the only Bond theme with no lyrics? It's just music all the way through with no singer.
+mrExcellent101 - The music during the main credits of From Russia With Love is instrumental, too. If you remember, the vocal version is played only over the end credits.
Great music and musicians ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've watched this so many times. Incredible. It shows you how important music is to a movie.
The "You Know My Name" part is just something else...
Perfectly synchronized.Precision at its best !!!..amazed and delighted !!!!..Marvellously done...!!!! Honours from India....!!!
Awesome! What a great selection!
sheer bliss, wonderful music and a pleasure to listen to, thankyou for your amazing bond experience!!!!! love sharon xx
Simply great to play all theams in single sittings in perfect synchronised manner. Well played kaith .
Principal Trumpet Balls of Steel 11:39 That Cut through high Note has to sit perfect !
In order:
1. Fanfare - "From Russia With Love"
2. Theme "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
3. "Capsule In Space - "From Russia With Love"
4. "007 Takes the Lektor" - "From Russia With Love"
5. Theme "Goldfinger"
6. "You Know My Name" - From "Casino Royale"
7. "Night at The Opera" - "Quantum of Solace"
8. 007 Theme from "Casino Royale"
10:31 listen to that drum fill that leads to the (hard) swinging section. And then at the very end 11:37 the sound of that snare hit reverberating thoughout the whole room, wow! And just when you perceive the reverb "tail" you get blasted with that last chord played by the horns in an epic finalle. I love music like this.
I am impressed.....outstanding!!!!! Thanks for posting this. Never realized the musical quality of Bond films. Nicely done indeed.
Absolutely nailed the sound on that guitar
Absolutely brilliant well done
Wish I was There to see and Hear this LIVE... AMAZING Performance by this orchestra.... Thank You for uploading this!!!

danito20 Thanks Danito for confirming the QOS song. i will watch the film again now.
After 09:40 Casino Royale version original James Bond Dr. No theme was played.
Now that's what I'm talking about!! I've just listened to some shocking performances that made my ears bleed lol. Love love love this performance!! Outstanding! 👌💖
The best orchestra ever performed. Very close to John Barry's albums. Well done...
So awesome seeing Boston Pops Keith Lockhart with the London Symphony. Love the tour of James Bond music.
that harp at 1:58 is awesome
So there is someone else who notices that harp!! It took me a good day finding out the notes of that harp but I managed to find it. ;) I love John's subtle detail he used to work into his scores which were often overshadowed by his bigger bolder songs like Goldfinger & Diamonds are forever. I love the "Strangled Cat" he has going on at the end of 'Bond Averts World War Three'. Quite Amazing.
I've always wondered what it would sound like if you mixed eras & styles of completely different times together. I tried it once. Didn't do much for people! Its here if you want a laugh! th-cam.com/video/anfLz4_dQ_0/w-d-xo.html
10:00, the best one I think!
yeah
10:00
100%
absolutely!
I use the 007 theme as my ringtone and still love seeing the orchestra enjoying themselves playing James Bond music
12 minutes and 16 seconds of goosebumps! :D pure Gold
The best OHMSS BEATS ALL 007
Best Part is having Harry Palmer palying guitar...
Absolutely amazing. I love it when "You know my name" kicks in :D
I never noticed that first time. Aww man this just gets better.
This is all pretty awesome, but their adaption of "You Know My Name" is dope as shit... (re: VERY GOOD)
I don't agree with you, that one is awesome too!
This one is symphonic, it's not the expanded orchestral soundtrack.
But they're doing alright..
naw id say that you know my name is THE james bond song
Lionel Moulin I'm sorry? I was saying it was good. You're disagreeing with me saying the same thing?
/ communication breakdown here.
Jogwheel
New to me too, till i heard that Will.i.Am geezer use it.
Peace and love, unless you are with SPECTRE..
Bond- style of life, traditions. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
I always think its funney that nearly all the actors that played James Bond bad guys are dead but all the bonds are still alive. I like it.
I NEVER HOW MANY GREAT TALENTS TO BRING THE BOND MOVIES IN ORDER, THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH A BEAUTIFUL JOB WELL DONE THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL
5:59 for "You know my name"
4.20..Goldfinger!! All We're missing is Dame Bassey
with out the the great music the Bond movies would be boring the music has really made be a lover of music, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU ALL DO BEST , IS MAKE IT ALL COME TOGETHER WITH THE MOVEMENTS, ACTIONS, WITH OUT YOU LIFE WOULD BE BORING , ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU DO SO VERY VERY WELL
Glad my favourite Bond theme, and film, leads this excellent tribute
The name's Bond, James Bond
