Bravo to this young lady and her violin playing. It is exceptional and brought tears to my eyes. Bravo to the orchestra and to Concertmaster Alexandra Hjortswang for a fantastic performance.
This is one of my 2 favorites. Tchaikovsky piano concerto is the other. To witness either one of these live, is like being in heaven. Or at least as close to it without being alive from the dead........ If this is a glimpse of our youth, then we should not worry about the future.
i was lookin for this piece everywhere, when i was a kid my grandpaa used to turn on the radio so we can listen to the 1001 nights tales just before i sleep and the sound of the violin was on the background and it just keeps looping in my head, its beautiful, i could really imagine that i'm the prince shehraiar and the princess shehrazad is telling me all of thoes stories, sindbad alladin and the 40 thieves man thoes were some good times...
I was a kid, when I listen to a fairy-tale LP, and this solo violin was the background music to the story. I always cried, when hearing this sad,sad violin. I always thought, this must be a very sad woman or girl, who cried about a lost love or something else. It took years, I was a grown-up, till I found the name and composer of this wonderful piece of music. It still gives me goose pimples all over my body. They play it really great Love it so much!
There are no adequate words.... only to say I feel elevated and the violin soloist was magnificent. I would love a recording of this. Thank you so much!
This video taping is unclear and it is unfortunate. The Slovenian taping is superb and the presentation of the Slovenians is inspiring. Valiki rendition of this most magnificent piece of music gave me the shivers of pleasant feeling. Good Luck to you all. You have presented a very spirited performance. However, watch and listen to the Slovenian youth.
I'm listening along and every now and then a certain part would make me think of some movie, video game or something where that same peice of music had played - and until now I'd had no idea where it came from... and now I do and am glad for it.
By the book, the "Concertmaster" is the 2nd most important person in the orchestra after the Conductor ("Number One," if you will forgive a Star Trek allusion) and is typically the first-chair Violin, so we are hearing young Alexandra perform those moving violin solos. BRAVA!!!
Great Hjortswang!! You're amazing! I love your violin solo! It's one of the best performances I ever have seen. I really fell in love of you!!:P ¡Simplemente maravilloso! ¡Me transporta a otro mundo y me enamora! Cheers from México!
I first heard this as the sound track in the film 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. with Kirk Douglas and Peter Lore. Fell in love with it and several recorded versions.
I didn't say what I said to be critical of either version. I only suggested that those interested could listen to it and see if they enjoyed it. I'm very fond of the original "Song of India" myself. Years ago I traveled in India and went up to Manali in the Himalayan foothills (mountains) and in that benign, pastoral place the memory of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakovs version came to mind. It does capture the mystical, fantastic India once you get out of the cities. Sorry if I offended you.
@KentRigeI My friend is the part played in the background of C64 game Arabian Nights and the original Prince of Persia game (if memory serves well on Amiga)
I didn't say TDs version made sense. Enough people liked it back then to make it one of his biggest hits. It reminds me of Elvis Presley singing "It's Now or Never" using the melody "O Solo Mio" by Eduardo di Capua. I suppose if one doesn't like it they could refrain from listening to it again.... Don't you agree? Thanks
where can i find better audio on the snare part of this piece for the 3rd and 4th movement. Playing it for auditions next friday. thanks to all who help. Loved the piece.
That concermaster has a superb sounding violin. Something tells me it is not a strad or guarneri (maybe I'm wrong). Further proof that many other violins sound just as good as the strads and guernaris. The exclusive superiority of those violins is a myth.
hi...im wondering if anyone can tell me the name of the song that is usually associated with coldwar U.S. and Russian films..the typical piano song...thanks
This movement is on of my favorite pieces of music. This is a very good youth orchestra!
Bravo to this young lady and her violin playing. It is exceptional and brought tears to my eyes. Bravo to the orchestra and to Concertmaster Alexandra Hjortswang for a fantastic performance.
This piece sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it...simply beautiful.

This song is so graceful yet lovable!!!!
Brilliant!

I really love this youg orchestra very much... The young woman who is playing first violin is simply marvelous. Bravo!!!
I was a kid, when I listen to a fairy-tale LP, and this solo violin was the background music to the story. I always cried, when hearing this sad,sad violin.

That violin movement is timeless and awe-inspiring, it sent me on a soul searching spree...it is SO beautiful!
Beautiful... the soloist... just beautiful.
Brings tears to my eyes.
This is the best performance of this song I have ever heard. This is just magnificent!!!
This kind of music make me feel many different things, it's great, beautiful and awesome the part of violin solo

Scheherazade was always inspiration. the music is wonderful.

It's one thing to hear it, but it's another to see how all the musical instruments and components come together with your eyes.
Stunning! Great music, wonderfully performed, and a sexy violinist to boot!
I first heard this as the sound track in the film 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.
with Kirk Douglas and Peter Lore. Fell in love with it and several recorded versions.

اكثر من رائع
RIMSKY-KORSAKOV!!!!! ^_^
it's a long piece - not on youtube... you might like to invest in a cd.
This is certainly a wonderful and moving work.
@Robkat3751 Indeed! What a talent!
just listen darling, you'll see how beautiful is loneliness....
I can't believe this video skips the entire climax of the 4th movement. D:
Épico, faz me lembrar do reino fnatastico de Tolkien, A terra media
Epic, makes me remember of the fantastic realm of Tolkien, Middle Earth
Look at the two first violinists behind the soloist when she's playing. They're sullen. Maybe they're jealous of the soloist's epicness XD
Shame about the audience, this is great!
she's pretty good. when i watched the Ljubljana Orchestra play it, it was much better, but it is great for a youth orchestra!
where can i find better audio on the snare part of this piece for the 3rd and 4th movement. Playing it for auditions next friday. thanks to all who help. Loved the piece.
Wow :-)
@GiantEnemyCrab63 Opulence - you has it!
Naranja mecanica y zoé :)

lighten up. these kids can't be out of high school!
please post it whole
@filopaa1990 thanks for the info...;)
@Tinch0772 maybe... romeo and juliet by prokoviev?
hi...im wondering if anyone can tell me the name of the song that is usually associated with coldwar U.S. and Russian films..the typical piano song...thanks
Is this from the composer Stravinsky studied under?
How much do these musicians get paid?
@jason101other I think you are giving too much credit to the violin. ;)
someone must make a study on how classical music makes people cough
aint life good
what the fuckkkkkkk!!!!!!
What the heck was that at 1:47???!!! Beautifully done, but very dissapointed at the transition and break in music on the video.
maybe when your relaxing all your mucosis are flowing slower lool
pues sí, ni de coña lo consigue
26 ignorants!!!
