Frank Zappa, the 20th century version of all the great's before him and thanks to people like Dweezil Zappa and ensembles like this his music and life are well preserved... Thanks to all who keep his music alive, RIP Maestro.
Zappa is so fun, oddly beautiful and spiritual, especially to hearing such a high quality ensemble to play his stuff
TIGHT! Congrats! FZ would have loved this - a performance on The Ensemble Modern's level.
One day Frank walked into rehearsal and handed Terry some sheet music and said : "what do you think about this Bozzio?" the rest is history.
Uh, the rest is a lot of hard work by a lot of musicians keeping this music alive.
Frank always wrote music on another level and with such compassion. Sure do miss you Frank Zappa...R.I.P.
A modern masterpiece (and testpiece) that will be played a hundred years from now.
F. Zappa opened the gate to let me into the world of contemporary classical music. (Which took me further into early classical music too.) I will always be grateful for that. Like no one else he kombined this music with rock'n roll and pop music.
Same here. The list on the liner notes of Freak Out was a treasure and source of exploration for me when I was a kid.
Same me. Frank opened the door to a new universe of music for me. I listen to some classical music, contemporary classical and so on. I am no expert tho. Frank played part of Petrushka by Stravinsky. It is a ballet which is to be seen on TH-cam. It is a fantastic ballet about 35 minutes long. Stravinsky was a master in epic music in which you can sense the influence on Frank.
I would enjoy classic but never appreciated it until I became hooked like crack on Zappa.
I think this qualifies Frank who started playing on the drums, the title of the most underrated drummer there is.
@tixximmi, I wholeheartedly agree!
What an incredible performance!
saw you at ZAPPANALE and it almost made me cry seeing educated musicians like you having so much fun playing FZ's compositions!!
the musicians from the zappa band - ruth underwood, george duke, napoleon murphy brock etc. - were also educated
@@nikolausgerszewski2086 well, but I think there is a difference between being an educated musciian in the US in the early 70s and being an educated musician in the new millenium in GERMANY! their approach towards "rock" musicians and composers is rather deprecating., and they'd perform stuff like that quite professionally, but without the heart and guts required. but there are exceptions of course.
@@zeuhltube if they perform beethoven without heart and guts, it is just as boring, as most classical performances are. only the exceptional musicians are interesting anyway...
@@zeuhltubeI think this performance is a perfect example of the hole in classical musician's abilities.
This is a drummers song. Any Zappa fan knows, this is a song where the drummer gets center stage.
Notice when he plays the strict parts of pt.1, he does fine. However, in pt. 2, where he is supposed to cut loose, he is lost. He can read what's on the page well enogh but, don't ask him to actually play his instrument.
Just (censored) awesome! I could not imagine FZ disapproving of this.
Playing this is one thing,thinking it up and composing it is quite another
there where diamonds , gold , intens colours , intens light...zappa atmosphere !!!
Two commercial breaks to interrupt one song... Zappa would be so proud.
fantastic rendition
...i so love you people.
Brilliant music played by the best of musicians.
If you ever tour my way, you can all stay at my house -- with your instruments.
Stay ever Frank.
Thank you! We might take you up on that! ;-)
No ad libbing for the drummer -- he has to memorize his chart. Props.
Impeccable !!!
Loved it. Glad you broke it down into all 3 parts. The evolution of this melody is as important as the song itself. Hope to see you at ACL.
Work of Art
A la note près, c'est impeccable, c'est superbe, c'est grandissime.
LONG LIVE FRANK ZAPPA FOREVER !
IMMENSE.
excellente démonstration! Et nous aurons la passion d'entre nous, au prix à payer. On avance, Hans.

Sound is slightly behind the video, wonder if this was recorder with a single mic at camera location ?
Parasta Frankkiä -Kulttuuritalolla sain nauttia tästä uskomattomasta taiteest 1970-luvulla roudarina - en mennyt lämpiöön - oli pakko kuunnella kaikki alusta loppuun - loppu tuli toki vasta aamuyöllä, kun olimme saaneet roudattua kaikki soittowärmeet ja PA-kamat rekkoihin - unohtumattomia keikkoja olivat ja sitten tuli vielä eräs Herra Captain Beefheart Helsinkiin (mutta se on toinen tarina) - ja aina Eki-setäkin paikalla kaikilla keikoilla...
"Did anybody Dance"???
"did anybody get hurt?"
the MC sounds like Bruce Fowler talking
Impeccable performance!! It's enough to make me check out a paid sub to YT if it means no commercials. I wish the mix was better. Some instruments were completely lost. The percussionists were wonderful
Thanks for your feedback! This is just a camera recording from the back of the hall. So no mix at all unfortunately :-)
@@EnsembleMusikfabrik I have no idea about the logistical and financial details required to pull this performance together, but the Ensemble is tight and a second, better recording either taking a post eq pre-fade submix from the house audio console or doing a multi Track recording to a DAW would be so worth it. The musicianship and orchestration is first rate. I'm not surprised that the drum kit isn't as radical as the Terry Bozio kit, but spreading the percussion among several musicians, to my ears was very accurate.
Ok guys you got the gig but the drummer was way to loud in the mix so your gonna have to do it again.
Why mono sound?
It takes 3 to do what Bozzio did solo
Heh. He said, "Statistical density". Heh heh.
Arf arf arf.
Il Migliore.
Oh, bad musician! You misquoted Saint Frank.
like if the dumb shit music from the movie whiplash was interesting and challenging
