@@joelceda3500 I started watching The Avatar (S1-EP11 at 23:16), and one of the characters sounded remarkably like a character from the game Fable 2 (or thats just what I think rn lmao).

Searched it up trying to find the character, stumbled upon a video about their orchestra and how they made the soundtrack for the game, was mesmerized and searched up Skyrims New Horizons live, nearly cried because it was really fucking good. Saw the pirates of the carribean one from Auckland orchestra and only watched it because the view count and the fact that Auckland is in my country and I was kinda happy to see the popularity of the video. Clicked on that video, and saw this in the recommended. But idk, just youtube doing its thing ig.
@@russmckernan8572 no need to be a dick man. I'm not saying it wasn't cool to see people dancing, its just not what I was expecting based on the title of the video
@@thescorvog4678 Also, it depends on what you count as a classic. I certainly count this as one of the classics, right up there with Mozart's piano concerts. =D

I landed on this channel after watching the Danish National Symphony Orchestra play "The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly" by Ennio Morricone Never in a million years would I have imagined "Sandstorm" played by an orchestra. I feel like my life is complete now.
I was actually at this concert in Auckland! Had to look it up just now cos my mate didn't believe me it happened 😅 PS also went n saw Symphony orchestra "Scores of thee west" tribute to Clint Eastwood was amazing too, although no Rave dancing 😅
@@logan5804 no not never again ... we will get there again like anything of this scale the world will adapt and grow to work around it or kill it off !
There is a rare time when an orchestra - not just any orchestra - transforms a favored song of mine into a totally new listening experience that they've put their heart and soul into. A song which has been completely turned into the most enjoyable, the most exhilarating time my ears have had in many years. This was it. Absolutely, positively enjoyed listening to you all play. Thank you greatly for sharing.
It took years to figure out how to make synthesizers sound like orchestra instruments. It took even longer to figure out how to make orchestra instruments sound like synthesizers.
every harmonic sound can be broken down into a combination of sine waves in the same frequency (or a factor thereof) at different amplitudes and phases. Horns and woodwinds reflect this pattern and are complex sounds which are produced by the harmonics of many sine waves. However, stringed instruments produce a near perfect sine wave which, when many of them are combined in various phases and amplitudes could be used to reconstruct the wave made by the synthesizer. So the reconstruction of the synth sound is hard, but not as hard as you think. The more impressive part are the musicians who are playing at various phases (slightly on or off beat)... Although its quite possible this is all being managed in the mixer.
@@Shyid I love your analysis! Check out this tune: Mhammed El Alami, illitheas, Johannes Fischer- Breath of Life. It's a beautifully composed/produced uplifting/orchestral trance tune with electronic and orchestral elements! Would love to hear your thoughts about it, and analysis!
as a HUGE lover of EDM for over 20 years, and a lifetime lover of classical music, this is a FANTASTIC mashup! beautiful performance and an incredible rendition of the original!
@@Mousy677 I agree, just like people who want to follow the dialog in a movie, instead of just rocking out to the soundtrack, will be the demise of cinema.
My 14 year old asked me what music I listened to in high school. Immediately showed him this absolutely banger of a symphony mix. Absolutely positively well done. 😃👍
I've often said that Electronica feels like the modern form of classical orchestrated music, and look what incredible music happens when you give an Electronica piece to a classical symphony orchestra.
@@dissolution9843 The layering in this is what made me first think about it th-cam.com/video/0AxoqxhwmY8/w-d-xo.html Could easily sub them out in to physical instruments and play by orchestra
@@dissolution9843 I wouldn't say I'm all that musically inclined either, and these might be misconceptions on my part, but I think it's the way dj/music producers mix samples and use midi controllers, keyboards, and whatnot to create new sounds the same way composers combine different sections of the orchestra, with all the instruments of an orchestra and more sitting in a digitized library on the hardware of the electronic composer, and how a lot of classical orchestral music was basically ballroom dance music that you would dance to for hours on end while getting blitzed on wine, so modern Electronica is just it's latest iteration, imo.
I cried for 5 mins straight! Thank you Darude for giving me memorable adolescent musical years and the Auckland Symphony Orchestra for this renedition!!
Just goes to show. People shit on electronic music, people shit on classical music. They do not have to be mutually exclusive. Instruments exist to make sounds, it's how you put them all together that makes the music. This was epic.
I will never tire of this. 1. Flautist love music 2. Love my 90s techno 3. I’m a lighting technician for live events/concerts/touring/festivals I still get chills watching this

The good old times! 🎉

Are you an immortal vampire?
I saw him at the San Dimas Mall.

I would dare to assume it's relatively uncommon for an orchestra to get such a wild audience. Hell of a show, you can feel the energy.
Most orchestra peeps/band geeks are pretty wild people that or super reserved💖This is them sharing their wild side😂💗
as someone who recently watched the Auckland Symphony Orchestra (my music teacher is in it) they always knock it out of the park, and the audience is always amazing.
Metallica S&M..??
Mozart was a metal-head, so I guess if it ain't baroque don't fix it?
I'll show myself out..
@@innocentbystander3317 that got a chuckle ngl
when the conductor wears headphones, you'll know he means business...
it means it's basically noise.
It means that you can't actually hear the music because they amped it too much.
All musicians seems to wear one, it's their work tools...
@@Spartiateism Have you been to the symphony? They don't wear headphones
ATC no it’s because it get so loud and he needs to fouces but your right a little bit
The intro when people realised it's sandstorm... everyone stood up! You always stand up for sandstorm...chills
It's truly the new Hallelujah Chorus
Standard
A L W A Y S.
Because Sandstorm is the national anthem of EDM
The real treasure is the feeling of the harmonics in a very large hall. That is the best feeling on 🌎

a song for the eternity
At least we had some wonderful things coming out in 2020! :~)
This damn song transcends styles & genres. It's hard to find a version of it that doesn't kick ass.

I very rarely use the word “epic” to describe something but this version of Sandstorm is most definitely EPIC!
A rare moment of the Music history
This was hilarious. Never expected to see a sight like that with an orchestra playing.
3:20 what a moment..just chills..
modern age is making combinations that defy imagination and dreams
Nothing more beautiful than music. It takes us to another dimension.
