My Queen of the Night video is definitely NOT the actual translation... 🤣 BUT it is inspired by what's happening in the plot. Yeah, the Queen of the Night is 🚩
Yeah, it's definitely a very abridged/paraphrased version of the actual lyrics. The general message is the same though. The Queen of the Night is actually telling her daughter to kill Sarastro or she will be disowned.
I LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thank you for sharing the video from my concert and Liu Jianwei’s impromptu duet with me. And thank you also for all you do for classical music. And now, I need to go practice. 😄❤️
So many people thought that the tenor that sang with Lisette was rude to jump in and sing. I thought it was cool and if someone did it to me I would most likely react similarly. For a world-class soprano to not be high-strung about it was great. So many people would have thought it was rude. She's an amazing person anyway. She did virtual masterclasses during 2020 for free or donation, and I had the opportunity to sing for her. It was great.
Tbf most people know that song because of a show (I think) and it is not a classical music piece, but yeah, Brett and Eddy should listen to some known songs from countries :P
I was playing in the #3 concert with the scream lady. The whole string section was dying for the entire page - so many shaking shoulders from suppressed giggles 😂
to add context to the tiktok with the opera singer from the audience: it was an encore performance for a solo recital, hence the lack of a male tenor to accompany her. liu jianwei, the audience member, said he would never attempt something like that ever again 😅
Did you know that Haydn wrote Surprise Symphony exactly for the same reason as #3? He incorporated a minor melody to lull the aristocrats to sleep, then wake them up with a literal canon shot chord! Very funny
Honestly, preparing the orchestra parts of your rep, booking the front seats of orchestra level, and bringing instruments to surprise you at your concert is totally something TwoSetters would do.
Once Ray Chen taught a master class at my music school and while only three students got to directly play for Ray, he had all of us in the audience bring our instruments and then put up some very easy orchestral music on a projector so we could all play together with him. It was so much fun and even though it was years ago it is still one of my most vivid musical performance memories.
He's one cool dude... Another one who makes learning music fun and classical music accessible to all ages, esp the young. Have you ever seen his Bach Violin Double (on YT) when he was in Venezuela working with the kids from El Sistema programme? It's such a laugh!
We had a quite similar thing happen at our music school, only though it was a masterclass Hilary Hahn, and we were only allowed to sit in the audience. We couldn't make any disturbing sounds, and many of the amazing comments made by Hilary were too soft for us to hear, as we were placed to sit in the back area of the hall, and Hilary was only speaking at normal conversation level. It was a great experience, but we didn't even get to have a photo with her. :(
And look at her mouth and tongue: yes she is singing for real and oh yes she nails it and every note is crystal clear. Also the high F. Definatly a cagelatura like Borge says.
They could have replaced the real singing with a recording of good singing though. There's literally an American tv show where you have to guess if the singer is doing that.
Also, they noted that she's lying down as a con, but as a singer - sometimes lying down you're just the perfect amount of relaxed, and it comes easier.
right? I think so too. It sounds cool and also it is challenge for the musicians and people can find their wy to classical music. Awesome idea, indeed.
@@lenochod6 I think its more applicable to say music in general here, not strictly classical. Classical is fine and all, but its still a subset of the pie. Missing a lot if we zoom in on just that.
I was at a concert in Antwerp once where they played Tchaikovsky 5. The conductor then told the audience that they had prepared Waltz of the Flowers but they didn't seem to have a harpist. He asked if someone could play it in the audience by coming on stage, and one girl/woman volunteered! She nailed the opening too so I was really impressed. Afterwards some musicians went to congratulate her. My grandmother who was next to me thought it was staged.
@@oxoelfoxo I'm guessing harpists don't all drive pickup trucks and use their neighborhood strongmen to lift their harp into the back every time they need to take it somewhere to perform. But maybe?
"If you're not a musician you can always pick up an instrument and learn. It's good for you" - Brett Well Brett, as you know, thousands of your fans have done just that... myself included... and they continue to be inspired to do so. How much more music there is in the world now thanks to you guys! ❤
Anyone know if Rosemary Clooney or someone from her generation ever sang it? For some reason I can hear her voice in my head when I think of it, but I can’t find that anywhere 🤷🏻♀️
12:06 - I did something like that! There was a pianist playing some Italian arias in a place in Memphis, Tennessee, and he started one that I knew very well. I started to sing it softly, then he looked at me and I looked at him and we silently acknowledged the duet, and I sang the whole thing with him, then we shook hands, and I went off on my way. It was a rather magical impromptu musical moment.
Yup, that happens. Once with a mezzo singing on the street and she did Samson and Dalila's " mon couer s ouvre a ta voix" She was a canservatory student. She recognized me as one of the operatenors and she noticed I was quietly humming along. At the tenorpart she nodded please sing. So I did. The audience liked it. I never would do that normally out of respect for the singer. But she asked it herself. We did also did a Carmenduet afterwards. Second time was a real strange situation. There was a party and karaoke was going on. But with a liveband !! They got a list of 200 songs, you fill in the number on a paper, put it on the table next to the band, they would pick one , and say you the number and your name, there was a mic and a musicstand with the music and lyrics and you could go sing. My friends were already: common go sing one. Naaaah they dont got my repertoire. Strangly in all the pop and rocksongs there was some kind of arrangement from the Carmen Habanera. Some amateur soprano went on stage and did that. She noticed me murmuring along the words. Probably by my looks she noticed ah a singer( oh well I just look like the stereotype Italian tenor) . So she signaled with her hand come to the stage. I didnt but from the audience I did sing the choirparts. Prends garde a toi !
9:45 That's "Bella ciao", by an italian twosetter who reminds you that there Is an european state looking like a boot who would be really happy seeing you during your world tour...Just in case...
Thoroughly impressed that you recognized Yannick Nézet-Séguin!! In addition the Philadelphia Orchestra, he's also the music director for the Met Opera in New York and Orchestre Métropolitain in Montréal. He also was with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra for quite a while. He has quite a career! Always fun to see him conduct.
I thought they recognized Verizon Hall first when the camera panned out. Vignoli's design and the warmth of the sound are unmistakable. I miss Philly (went to grad school there). Always a world class orchestra, no matter who is conducting. My grandfather was a radio announcer for Philly's classical music station WFLN in the 1950s when Ormandy was in charge. He got to interview Persichetti too. Sadly the radio station is now defunct.
One of my current favourite conductors 😍 he's also an incredible pianist. I saw him conduct the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Paris last year and he played an encore with the solo pianist (Brahms Waltz No. 15 for four hands). It was two minutes of pure bliss, and the silence that followed from the audience was spine-tingling.
I loved this so much, I honestly needed this video. Also, one of my friends got pregnant a few years ago and decided she wanted her baby to "listen to classical music so she would be smart" so asked to come with me to the "concert thingies you go to sometimes". Sure thing? The one I got tickets to was "Disney's Fantasia themed" because I thought she might recognize the songs? Half an hour in, she fell asleep, and I get it, she was pregnant and tired, whatever, then I look at the program again and I realized The Rite of Spring was coming, and me being a good friend, tried to wake her up, she slapped my hand away and kept sleeping. Oh well... I tried. She woke up with a statle, jumped from her seat and yelped as she landed. The kid is 7 and I still won't let her forget.
Twoset is hinting us to bring our instruments with us to their concerts and surprise them during their performance lol Still remembered them saying before (probably in the video that they react to the girl playing violin while hula hooping?) that we'd better bring them hula hoop if we want to see them do that on stage during their tour lol. I wonder whether they can have a small section this time when they would accompany a Twosetter who brings their instrument lol Like if they set a certain piece in advance (yes lol), and randomly pick a Twosetter during their performance to play together, that would be cool (and probably chaotic lol). Just a random thought lol
Oooh yesss that would be pretty cool but we would probably need the pieces in advance so that we could practice them and not sightread the whole time and this doesn’t apply to me but what about the people who haven’t been playing for long time like would there be options of songs for them to play?
All right, so obviously, I know the Queen of the night aria TikTok was meant to be a condensed version but the actual translated lyrics are “The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart, Death and despair flame about me! If Sarastro does not through you feel The pain of death, Then you will be my daughter nevermore. Disowned may you be forever, Abandoned may you be forever, Destroyed be forever All the bonds of nature, If not through you Sarastro becomes pale! Hear, Gods of Revenge, Hear a mother’s oath!” I’m not trying to be an opera snob. I just wanted to point out that this song is one of if not the heaviest, dramatic songs in the opera.
I freaking LOVE you. I was actually wondering the actual lyrics. I dont listen to much opera so couldn't tell if that was a really modern translation or not. Still funny vid, but thank you for the info!!!
First one, Shostakovich would've probably liked it. He was in London in '75 for the premiere of his 15th symphony and met Andrew Lloyd Webber at "Jesus Christ Superstar," and they were stanning each other.
The song they played on the big piano was 'Bella Ciao', an Italian protest folk song that became very popular after bring used the Netflix Series 'La Casa de Papel' or 'Money Heist' in English
@@wmigda I am amazed and at the same time disappointed that they did not know that. This song is an anthem, bigger than any series. It was always popular and inspired so many people
Ahhh I love you Eddy♥️ setting the record straight at 9:00. "Just cause you sing like thaahahaaat doesn't mean you sing opera" THANK YOU from a fellow (slightly triggered) opera singer🙏🙌
@Muphins427 According to Wikipedia, Jason Derulo grew up in performing arts schools but it says nothing about an opera training. He could be opera-trained while in performing arts schools though
Yeah, people think adding some vibrato and a taller sound here and there is opera. Many have no idea what an opera implies, and what level of voice development you need to do an opera.
I can give some explanation for #12: that's most probably taken from one of the Wien's New Year Concert that takes place every January 1st, with some staples such as Strauss Jr's Blue Danube Waltz. This piece, Radetzky March (which is always the final one in the list), has a peculiarity, in which the public is also an instrument; the clapping is conducted by the director! Source: Italian guy who follows the Christmas/New Year classical concerts broadcast from our public tv (with also the Christmas one from Assisi, and the Italian New Year one from La Fenice, Venice). Fun fact: in all of Europe Wien's NY concert is broadcast live at ~11.00 on each national main channel, but in Italy is broadcast on the 2nd main channel later at ~13.30, because we broadcast live our concert from La Fenice, Venice, at 12.00 (every timing here is considered according to Italy timezone, CET). It has something with our history, since for a lot of time, until 1861 (unification of Italy) and 1918 (end of WW1), parts of Italy were under control of Austrian Hapsburg empire (now Austria), and Radetzky was a general who bombarded Italian cities causing lots of devastation and deaths. The northern Italy was under the Austrian rule, often in unfavourable conditions. Our concert ends with Giuseppe Verdi's Va' Pensiero (a lyric from Nabucco, that resembles slaves under Nabucodonosor, and Italians under Austrian rule, considered oppressing, and aiming for an united Italy).
New Year’s Day concert in Vienna always ends with Radetsky’s March and the audience is an instrument conducted along with the orchestra. Always look forward to it on PBS in the USA.
Oh thank you I was looking for this comment! I used to watch it every year when I was little!😊(I don't live in Europe anymore ) It was a New Years must! and a very special feeling. I always made sure to drag myself out of bed before it started no matter how late it had been the night before. We used to clap along at home too 😆
2:46 She signs "Thank you, thank you so much" to him in American Sign Language. Since he's Chinese, he probably didn't understand ASL, but I think that's beautiful!
That clapping at 4:18 is from the traditional New Year Concert in Vienna. The second encore (was it?) is always Radetzky March and the clapping is also a tradition. The concert is televised to most EU countries (by European Broadcasting Union, same for Eurovision Song Contest). Tickets are randomly drawn and sent across the world because there's, like, tens of thousands who want them and they don't want only super-rich people to get tickets. They do cost something like 100 to 500 euros but anyway.
Now some of us feel exactly what Brett and Eddie feel when people don't know classical music. I immediately recognized Bella Ciao at 9:55 and they just say tetris song... not even close...
Oh snap here we go again! I was really really hoping you'd make a video about this! I've been seeing so many recently and really wanted to see you guys react to some! You did not disappoint! Also just want to share my love and appreciation for you guys! Thank you for keeping me motivated to practice and never let me forget how much playing music brings me so much joy!
4:40 that is the New Year's Concert (Neujahrskonzert) in Vienna and it's a tradition to clap at the "Radetzky-Marsch". It is the piece of music that is played every year on this concert. This concert is performed every year on January 1st, in Vienna (Austria🇦🇹), by the "Wiener Philharmoniker".
i immediately went to the comments to see if somebody already explained it, so thank you because the concert is really famous and i feel like austria is also well know for the philharmonic orchestra and it is just such a big tradition here so i loved to see that it is trending :D
10:52 is hilarious!!!😂😂😂 How do you guys find those videos in billions of videos??? Do you happen to have a special detector for that? 😂 You're super guys!❤
When I first watched your videos I was on 8th grade and I've been in a kind of depression. Because I've had a big exam at the end of the year. But you guys gave me the most joyful moments in my entire life. I'm a piinist and to be honest I've had a distance to my enstrument until I met you. Thank you for making me love classical music again.
I have a family friend with a pipe organ in his home! It doesn't have as many octaves as a church organ since the house is too small, but it's still an extremely powerful instrument. When I was a little kid, I would sometimes be upstairs in the study while guests were over and whenever the organ played, you'd be able to feel the resonance in the floor.
11:17 That's Yannick Nezet-Seguin at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia with the Philly Orchestra (just a few blocks away from Curtis Institute). So sorry I missed you guys the last time you were in Philly. Definitely planning to see you guys this world tour! Can't wait!
The actual lyrics (translated into English) of the Queen of the Night aria are even wilder: The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart, Death and despair flame about me! If Sarastro does not through you feel The pain of death, Then you will be my daughter nevermore. Disowned may you be forever, Abandoned may you be forever, Destroyed be forever All the bonds of nature, If not through you Sarastro becomes pale! Hear, Gods of Revenge, Hear a mother’s oath!
About noisy partying neighbors: My grandparents live in a busy city, and one day their neighbors decided to host a party until like 2AM. My grandfather, an organist, decided to repay the favor, woke up at 7:30PM and started playing organ very loudly.
4:24 This is the New Year's concert with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, where the Radetzky March is played as an encore every year (since 1946). The audience usually claps along in one form or another depending on the conductor, it's a great tradition
Voice gang here! The tiktok of the person singing Queen of the Night is real, you can see their throat moving at 10:27 if you want some easily spottable proof. I'm also part of violin gang lol but I'm studying vocal performance at university so I figured I could chime in on that
Just for extra info: Number 12 (the clapping) is Viena New Years Concert. Radetzky is played every year (it is the signature piece of the concert) and everyone always claps to it. ❤️
4:31 This is the New Years Concert in Vienna, Austria and it’s tradition to clap during the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss. As an Austrian I was soo happy to see that on this channel!!!
i also feel like every classical musician in austria has this dream of joining the philharmonic orchestra because not only is it a tradition we grow up with but it is just a really good and high quality orchestra (i'm sorry for the weird description but i hope you know what i mean :D)
Hey TwoSet! I’ve been a fan of your channel for about 7 years now, and I would just like to say that it’s awesome seeing your growth these past few years AND I hope you can bring back violin covers! 🙏🙏 seeing those videos every once in a while would be nice and refreshing. I know those are probably really hard to do and plan out compared to meme reviews and playing charades, but it would be awesome to see covers return!!
The audience clapping together reminds me of watching the nutcracker ballet and at the end during bows occasionally the audience all claps together at the sound of the music and it's amazing
10:47 It happened to my buddy once in violin. She wasn't paying attention and all of a sudden the intro to "La Cenerentola" shocked her out of her chair!😂 She got in trouble. I think she was like ten, I'm nine.
Today is my birthday and I'm so glad to see the new video! And tonight the orchestra has just rehearsed the Shostakovich WaltzⅡ , so I was really surprised when I saw the content!
9:40 that’s actually Bell Ciao, an Italian song originally sung to go against the harsh working conditions in the Italian rice fields. Later revived as an Anti Fascism Song in Italy during WWII.
I love how shamelessly fake that video at the end is, but once I actually did end up in a situation with strangers all spontaneously playing together at a train station. At one point we had two people playing the station piano, someone with a guitar, someone with a transverse flute, someone with a melodica, someone with a cajon drum and a didgeridoo, and a few people singing. Unfortunately, security sent us away for having too big of a set-up, but it was such a wonderful day!
I was a piano student at Juilliard circa 1966. Despite having studied for exams all night my wonderful girlfriend convinced me to go to an afternoon Juilliard string quartet performance of "Death and he Maiden" one of my favorites. So there Iwas 4th row from the stage. Of course I nodded off. My girlfiend knew how much I loved the end of the end of the andante so she nudged me. I woke up to see the viola player cringing as I heard my voice echoing off the walls of the auditorium, "who, who, what what.."
I have absolutely fallen asleep in multiple concert halls. It's just something about really well performed live ensemble classical (and contemporary) music that makes me so comfortable and relaxed, while also stimulating my brain -- it can drop me straight into a dream, even if the piece is very energetic. And they're always the most _amazing_ naps ever. I hope the performers don't mind too much... Note: I've never fallen asleep while playing an instrument myself, but then, I did use the phrase "well performed!" ;P
i was once at a ren faire at the guy selling ocrinas started playing Carmen and the person selling the costumes started singing along. She was really good and it was a ton of fun to listen to!
As a music student in voice, this video made me realize how much classical music I don't know. I had heard every song, but I couldn't tell you their names or composers for some of them. You guys inspire me to learn more as a musician!
#3 will always be my favourite 😂 the best scream ever 😅 - Also, seeing as to how active TwoSet has been, props to Editor-San for the hard work in editing all these videos! Here's a flower for you 🌻
9:35 This is the Italian folk song "Bella ciao". The theme from Tetris is the Russian folk song "Korobeiniki" (an approximate translation of "Peddlers")
4:35 so that is Radetsky March by [insert name here] and one of my music directors told the band that in Austria (where this was either filmed or the group is from) it is encouraged/expected(?) to clap during marches. So that’s kinda the origin of that little clip (this is all from the mouth of someone who isn’t from Austria but is very knowledgeable about music, so if this is misinformation I do apologize)
"musicians don't carry around a clarinet in their bag" just made me laugh out loud, my stepdad is a musician and plays a lot of instruments, and he ALWAYS has one or other instrument in his bag, ready to be taken at any moment to be played hahahahh
I am in a orchestra and we constantly have our own concerts with all the different "leveled" orchestra in the whole "orchestra" organization, and the most advanced orchestra performed the song where the audience is clapping yet surprisingly all of them were clapping on time and we had a very nice time.
Every since the first time that video with the opera duet popped up a couple years ago, I'm still just in awe of THE AUDACITY! Dude has...let's call it "fortitude" to be family friendly, here. Also, that only worked out because he didn't f*** it up, and knew the piece well. It would have been so easy for that to go wrong. I can't. The second-hand anxiety just gets me every time I watch that clip!
randomly started learning the flute cause you guys always say learn an instrument and that it doesn't really matter which one. I found they make a plastic flute thats really good with a low cost to enter into the instrument. so here we are now 3 months later loving having a new hobby
12:39 this dude actually just often films himself playing! and there're a bunch of video's of just kids coming up asking to play rush e, peepo being weird and sometimes jems like this! so there's a big chance that was actually real
although yeah some videos of people coming up and asking to play with him might be fake more I think about it, but I've always enjoyed them and they're still pretty cool even if it is set up to some level
If it's his "thing" to go play music to tempt people to join, it makes a lot more sense why he would be playing accompaniment alone with a camera. And I'm sure he's often in the same locations, so people with skills probably seek him out to get in the videos. That wouldn't be staged on his part, just not purely organic, either.
Re the organ vs band: I did this once with bagpipes. There was a neighbour who would play loud rock music so often and so loudly that it was really obnoxious. So I got out my pipes. Every time the rock started, I'd play the pipes. Only had to do that a few times before the neighbour got the message.
When I went on my first live concert this weekend it was very funny. It was Pinchas Zukerman and he agreed on playing a little more because he got much applause. He went backstage a few times with the conductor Pietari Inkinen and when he came back he told us, I will play when you sing. XD He played a lullaby and we all sang together. It was so beautiful and the conductor was so funny and sweet too. It was an amazing evening. ♥
4:30 is like to comment on the state of elementary music and general music in some regions that I’ve seen first hand. In America and according to our curriculum students should be able to clap in time by 1st grade and it’s astonishing how this skill is just skipped over.
That "conduct us" tik tok reminded me of a Dutch show called "Maestro" where Dutch celeberties would conduct an orchestra and they had to follow their conducting precisely. In the first episode, they would have no experience and it's hilarious how bad it can go. Thoughout the season, they would get practice and you learn a lot about conducting and the setup of the orchestra.

That is so cool. I absolutely love that clip. I would have loved to be there.

to add context to the tiktok with the opera singer from the audience: it was an encore performance for a solo recital, hence the lack of a male tenor to accompany her. liu jianwei, the audience member, said he would never attempt something like that ever again 😅
Did you know that Haydn wrote Surprise Symphony exactly for the same reason as #3? He incorporated a minor melody to lull the aristocrats to sleep, then wake them up with a literal canon shot chord! Very funny
Yes Twoset mentioned this in one of their videos before!
His 93rd is even better: instead of a loud bang from the entire orchestra, the bassoon lets out what can only be described as a loud fart.
Honestly, preparing the orchestra parts of your rep, booking the front seats of orchestra level, and bringing instruments to surprise you at your concert is totally something TwoSetters would do.
Maybe we should lol
if they were coming to a country accessible to me I'd totally stroll in with my classical guitar fully ready to accompany some violins
the cue has been given, they ate screwed 😅😅
That's actually a good idea.
*walks into venue, coat casually thrown over the cello case on my back and a hat perched on the top*

You sound so pretty🥰
Once Ray Chen taught a master class at my music school and while only three students got to directly play for Ray, he had all of us in the audience bring our instruments and then put up some very easy orchestral music on a projector so we could all play together with him. It was so much fun and even though it was years ago it is still one of my most vivid musical performance memories.

sight reading practice! i suppose since you're all music students you sounded fine
We had a quite similar thing happen at our music school, only though it was a masterclass Hilary Hahn, and we were only allowed to sit in the audience.

So for the Queen of the Night Aria one, you can actually see her voice box in sync with the staccato. I believe she's definitely singing it herself
And look at her mouth and tongue: yes she is singing for real and oh yes she nails it and every note is crystal clear. Also the high F. Definatly a cagelatura like Borge says.
They could have replaced the real singing with a recording of good singing though. There's literally an American tv show where you have to guess if the singer is doing that.

@@Scarlett.GrangerI would say laying down is the same as standing if you're laying perfectly straight.
Opera singer here- laying down makes it easier to sing those high notes! Natural support- gravity does some of the work for you :)
I'm in choir and my teacher sometimes has us lay down on the floor to help us with support loll
Doesn't work for me. I guess it depends on how big your stomach is! 😂

I cannot stop repeating #14, the soprano and her surprise accompaniment on her 4th encore. I just love it so much.
The quality of the singing is amazing too. He had the confidence and he definitely nailed it.
@@vdinh143 Actually it could have been better, but he hadn't warmed up.
7:00 letting random people "conduct" an orchestra is an awesome idea.
Hopefully give some of them the spark to start their love of classical music.
right? I think so too. It sounds cool and also it is challenge for the musicians and people can find their wy to classical music. Awesome idea, indeed.
I think their channel is called improv everywhere.
@@lenochod6 I think its more applicable to say music in general here, not strictly classical.
Classical is fine and all, but its still a subset of the pie. Missing a lot if we zoom in on just that.
@@mtgstudios1556 yeah, you are right, I said classical, because in the video there was classical music, so that is where my mind went.
I am so proud to be in your video guys 😂😂 🎹 Thanks for your reaction ❤
someone else mentioned you in the comments :-)
Now it’s the opposite of before- Brett is wearing formally-ish and Eddy looks like he just got out of bed. InTResTinG!
I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing it 100% intentionally.
Brett wore this in the ‘voice lesson’ I rmb😂
VerY InTerEStinG
They're tricking us...
ahaha yes for once!
I was at a concert in Antwerp once where they played Tchaikovsky 5. The conductor then told the audience that they had prepared Waltz of the Flowers but they didn't seem to have a harpist. He asked if someone could play it in the audience by coming on stage, and one girl/woman volunteered! She nailed the opening too so I was really impressed. Afterwards some musicians went to congratulate her.
My grandmother who was next to me thought it was staged.
whose harp did she play?! don't harpists bring their harps with them?
There was already a harp on the podium. But they might've used the one from the resident orchestra.
It makes sense that a classically trained musician would go to a concert
@@blarue1 indeed.
@@oxoelfoxo I'm guessing harpists don't all drive pickup trucks and use their neighborhood strongmen to lift their harp into the back every time they need to take it somewhere to perform.
But maybe?
Years and years ago, I met a man who had a huge pipe organ installed in his home! It was fking AMAZING!
my organ teacher has one in his home its great
I also visited some folks who had a pipe organ (as well as an upright and a baby grand piano) in their home.
@@elissahunt I would've asked to share the address if it weren't that controversial lol
That's my dream someday
@@adeemuff The guy I met was Don Stagg - there’s actually a documentary about him out there somewhere. Really interesting guy :D
"If you're not a musician you can always pick up an instrument and learn. It's good for you" - Brett
Well Brett, as you know, thousands of your fans have done just that... myself included... and they continue to be inspired to do so. How much more music there is in the world now thanks to you guys! ❤
I picked up violin because of them too 😆
I'll surely join the gang after my entrance exam 😊
@@aif4046 Yay!
9:49 Here I thought it was completely impossible to not recognise “Bella ciao”, and yet you surprised me!
Similarly, i thought it was impossible to forget the tetris theme song as well!
Anyone know if Rosemary Clooney or someone from her generation ever sang it? For some reason I can hear her voice in my head when I think of it, but I can’t find that anywhere 🤷🏻♀️
tetris😢
I didn’t recognize it
It's not a well known song in Australia and it's not classical. As an Australian I can vouch that I only learnt about it by chance.
12:06 - I did something like that! There was a pianist playing some Italian arias in a place in Memphis, Tennessee, and he started one that I knew very well. I started to sing it softly, then he looked at me and I looked at him and we silently acknowledged the duet, and I sang the whole thing with him, then we shook hands, and I went off on my way. It was a rather magical impromptu musical moment.
Yup, that happens. Once with a mezzo singing on the street and she did Samson and Dalila's " mon couer s ouvre a ta voix" She was a canservatory student. She recognized me as one of the operatenors and she noticed I was quietly humming along. At the tenorpart she nodded please sing. So I did. The audience liked it. I never would do that normally out of respect for the singer. But she asked it herself. We did also did a Carmenduet afterwards. Second time was a real strange situation. There was a party and karaoke was going on. But with a liveband !! They got a list of 200 songs, you fill in the number on a paper, put it on the table next to the band, they would pick one , and say you the number and your name, there was a mic and a musicstand with the music and lyrics and you could go sing. My friends were already: common go sing one. Naaaah they dont got my repertoire. Strangly in all the pop and rocksongs there was some kind of arrangement from the Carmen Habanera. Some amateur soprano went on stage and did that. She noticed me murmuring along the words. Probably by my looks she noticed ah a singer( oh well I just look like the stereotype Italian tenor) . So she signaled with her hand come to the stage. I didnt but from the audience I did sing the choirparts. Prends garde a toi !
Ain't that Emil Piano?
9:45
That's "Bella ciao", by an italian twosetter who reminds you that there Is an european state looking like a boot who would be really happy seeing you during your world tour...Just in case...
A boot full of twosetters waiting for them ...
Please!!!!
Yes come to Italy!!!!!!
For some reason I thought the boot was Croatia or something lol
10:32 yes she did actually sing that you can tell because if you look at her neck you can see it vibrating and moving. She killed it!
Thoroughly impressed that you recognized Yannick Nézet-Séguin!! In addition the Philadelphia Orchestra, he's also the music director for the Met Opera in New York and Orchestre Métropolitain in Montréal. He also was with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra for quite a while. He has quite a career! Always fun to see him conduct.
He will be a guest conductor with the Houston Symphony next season and I am really looking forward to it!
I thought they recognized Verizon Hall first when the camera panned out. Vignoli's design and the warmth of the sound are unmistakable. I miss Philly (went to grad school there). Always a world class orchestra, no matter who is conducting. My grandfather was a radio announcer for Philly's classical music station WFLN in the 1950s when Ormandy was in charge. He got to interview Persichetti too. Sadly the radio station is now defunct.
One of my current favourite conductors 😍 he's also an incredible pianist. I saw him conduct the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in Paris last year and he played an encore with the solo pianist (Brahms Waltz No. 15 for four hands). It was two minutes of pure bliss, and the silence that followed from the audience was spine-tingling.
I loved this so much, I honestly needed this video. Also, one of my friends got pregnant a few years ago and decided she wanted her baby to "listen to classical music so she would be smart" so asked to come with me to the "concert thingies you go to sometimes". Sure thing? The one I got tickets to was "Disney's Fantasia themed" because I thought she might recognize the songs? Half an hour in, she fell asleep, and I get it, she was pregnant and tired, whatever, then I look at the program again and I realized The Rite of Spring was coming, and me being a good friend, tried to wake her up, she slapped my hand away and kept sleeping. Oh well... I tried. She woke up with a statle, jumped from her seat and yelped as she landed. The kid is 7 and I still won't let her forget.
Twoset is hinting us to bring our instruments with us to their concerts and surprise them during their performance lol Still remembered them saying before (probably in the video that they react to the girl playing violin while hula hooping?) that we'd better bring them hula hoop if we want to see them do that on stage during their tour lol. I wonder whether they can have a small section this time when they would accompany a Twosetter who brings their instrument lol Like if they set a certain piece in advance (yes lol), and randomly pick a Twosetter during their performance to play together, that would be cool (and probably chaotic lol). Just a random thought lol
Oooh yesss that would be pretty cool but we would probably need the pieces in advance so that we could practice them and not sightread the whole time and this doesn’t apply to me but what about the people who haven’t been playing for long time like would there be options of songs for them to play?
What about playing La campanella on Hula loop?
It would obviously be a disaster, with people of varying skill level "trying" to do something to get noticed.
@@bencze465 But it would also be funny as heck.
This would be utter chaos and possibly be disasterous, however it would be so fun😂🎻🎶
All right, so obviously, I know the Queen of the night aria TikTok was meant to be a condensed version but the actual translated lyrics are
“The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame about me!
If Sarastro does not through you feel
The pain of death,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned may you be forever,
Abandoned may you be forever,
Destroyed be forever
All the bonds of nature,
If not through you
Sarastro becomes pale!
Hear, Gods of Revenge,
Hear a mother’s oath!”
I’m not trying to be an opera snob. I just wanted to point out that this song is one of if not the heaviest, dramatic songs in the opera.
yeah, i wish that Tiktok version had the essence of the original more, at least. where do the staccato ahs come in? after oath?
@@oxoelfoxo they come in after the line of the disowned daughter, which by the way gets repeated multiple times.
I freaking LOVE you. I was actually wondering the actual lyrics. I dont listen to much opera so couldn't tell if that was a really modern translation or not. Still funny vid, but thank you for the info!!!
First one, Shostakovich would've probably liked it. He was in London in '75 for the premiere of his 15th symphony and met Andrew Lloyd Webber at "Jesus Christ Superstar," and they were stanning each other.
9:59 not the Tetris song. I’ve heard it as “Bella ciao” an Italian Partisan (anti-fascist) song.
The song they played on the big piano was 'Bella Ciao', an Italian protest folk song that became very popular after bring used the Netflix Series 'La Casa de Papel' or 'Money Heist' in English
I was looking for this comment, or I would have written it myself. :)
An important detail is that is an anti-fascist song.
@@wmigda I am amazed and at the same time disappointed that they did not know that. This song is an anthem, bigger than any series. It was always popular and inspired so many people
Ahhh I love you Eddy♥️ setting the record straight at 9:00.
"Just cause you sing like thaahahaaat doesn't mean you sing opera"
THANK YOU from a fellow (slightly triggered) opera singer🙏🙌
I think Jason Derulo was operatically trained
@@Muphins427 yeah sure and i think my grandma secretly was some chinese princess.
@@liloruf2838 lol just google it
@Muphins427 According to Wikipedia, Jason Derulo grew up in performing arts schools but it says nothing about an opera training. He could be opera-trained while in performing arts schools though
Yeah, people think adding some vibrato and a taller sound here and there is opera. Many have no idea what an opera implies, and what level of voice development you need to do an opera.
I can give some explanation for #12: that's most probably taken from one of the Wien's New Year Concert that takes place every January 1st, with some staples such as Strauss Jr's Blue Danube Waltz.
This piece, Radetzky March (which is always the final one in the list), has a peculiarity, in which the public is also an instrument; the clapping is conducted by the director!
Source: Italian guy who follows the Christmas/New Year classical concerts broadcast from our public tv (with also the Christmas one from Assisi, and the Italian New Year one from La Fenice, Venice).
Fun fact: in all of Europe Wien's NY concert is broadcast live at ~11.00 on each national main channel, but in Italy is broadcast on the 2nd main channel later at ~13.30, because we broadcast live our concert from La Fenice, Venice, at 12.00 (every timing here is considered according to Italy timezone, CET). It has something with our history, since for a lot of time, until 1861 (unification of Italy) and 1918 (end of WW1), parts of Italy were under control of Austrian Hapsburg empire (now Austria), and Radetzky was a general who bombarded Italian cities causing lots of devastation and deaths.
The northern Italy was under the Austrian rule, often in unfavourable conditions. Our concert ends with Giuseppe Verdi's Va' Pensiero (a lyric from Nabucco, that resembles slaves under Nabucodonosor, and Italians under Austrian rule, considered oppressing, and aiming for an united Italy).
thanks, I was about to write something about this video, you did it better!
New Year’s Day concert in Vienna always ends with Radetsky’s March and the audience is an instrument conducted along with the orchestra. Always look forward to it on PBS in the USA.
@@YouthfulOne that's why I was not amused by that. I already knew about that :)
Oh thank you I was looking for this comment! I used to watch it every year when I was little!😊(I don't live in Europe anymore ) It was a New Years must! and a very special feeling. I always made sure to drag myself out of bed before it started no matter how late it had been the night before. We used to clap along at home too 😆
Yes, it absolutely is from the NY's concert. The orchestra chooses the conductor every year. I was so excited about Gustavo Dudamel a few years ago.
2:46 She signs "Thank you, thank you so much" to him in American Sign Language. Since he's Chinese, he probably didn't understand ASL, but I think that's beautiful!
10:51 Classical music is relaxing they said, you can even fall asleep they said ...
That clapping at 4:18 is from the traditional New Year Concert in Vienna. The second encore (was it?) is always Radetzky March and the clapping is also a tradition. The concert is televised to most EU countries (by European Broadcasting Union, same for Eurovision Song Contest). Tickets are randomly drawn and sent across the world because there's, like, tens of thousands who want them and they don't want only super-rich people to get tickets. They do cost something like 100 to 500 euros but anyway.
Yup. First encore is almost always by Johann Strauss II and you guess which one it is...
Thank you SO much for the inconvenience and context. Makes it that much cooler!
Been replaying 9:01 for an hour now and it’s still got me rolling on the ground and laughing
i know, my uncle imitates opera singers at home exactly like that for fun, it caught me off guard and i keep giggling
same it was so unexpected i died😭
Now some of us feel exactly what Brett and Eddie feel when people don't know classical music. I immediately recognized Bella Ciao at 9:55 and they just say tetris song... not even close...
Oh snap here we go again! I was really really hoping you'd make a video about this! I've been seeing so many recently and really wanted to see you guys react to some! You did not disappoint! Also just want to share my love and appreciation for you guys! Thank you for keeping me motivated to practice and never let me forget how much playing music brings me so much joy!
4:40 that is the New Year's Concert (Neujahrskonzert) in Vienna and it's a tradition to clap at the "Radetzky-Marsch". It is the piece of music that is played every year on this concert. This concert is performed every year on January 1st, in Vienna (Austria🇦🇹), by the "Wiener Philharmoniker".
i immediately went to the comments to see if somebody already explained it, so thank you because the concert is really famous and i feel like austria is also well know for the philharmonic orchestra and it is just such a big tradition here so i loved to see that it is trending :D
To be honest, Drums fit so well with some Classical pieces, Remember Brett playing Hungarian Dance -5 with drums in V&B battle? It was FANTASTIC 😺
Ravel's _Bolero_ anyone?
Nothing new. Already in the 80's it was done by Louis Cobos. Orchestra with a computerbeat under it. And Adya classics does the same thing.
10:52 is hilarious!!!😂😂😂 How do you guys find those videos in billions of videos??? Do you happen to have a special detector for that? 😂 You're super guys!❤
11:22 could possible be the first happy birthday ever sung in tune
When I first watched your videos I was on 8th grade and I've been in a kind of depression. Because I've had a big exam at the end of the year. But you guys gave me the most joyful moments in my entire life. I'm a piinist and to be honest I've had a distance to my enstrument until I met you. Thank you for making me love classical music again.
I have a family friend with a pipe organ in his home! It doesn't have as many octaves as a church organ since the house is too small, but it's still an extremely powerful instrument. When I was a little kid, I would sometimes be upstairs in the study while guests were over and whenever the organ played, you'd be able to feel the resonance in the floor.
11:17 That's Yannick Nezet-Seguin at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia with the Philly Orchestra (just a few blocks away from Curtis Institute). So sorry I missed you guys the last time you were in Philly. Definitely planning to see you guys this world tour! Can't wait!
The actual lyrics (translated into English) of the Queen of the Night aria are even wilder:
The vengeance of Hell boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame about me!
If Sarastro does not through you feel
The pain of death,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned may you be forever,
Abandoned may you be forever,
Destroyed be forever
All the bonds of nature,
If not through you
Sarastro becomes pale!
Hear, Gods of Revenge,
Hear a mother’s oath!
Lady Macbeth had a baby I guess.
About noisy partying neighbors:
My grandparents live in a busy city, and one day their neighbors decided to host a party until like 2AM. My grandfather, an organist, decided to repay the favor, woke up at 7:30PM and started playing organ very loudly.
😂😂😂😂 He's so cool 😎
These are hilarious...All the best for the world tour TwoSet ✨
4:24 This is the New Year's concert with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, where the Radetzky March is played as an encore every year (since 1946). The audience usually claps along in one form or another depending on the conductor, it's a great tradition
Yes! Our violin detectives are back!
Voice gang here! The tiktok of the person singing Queen of the Night is real, you can see their throat moving at 10:27 if you want some easily spottable proof. I'm also part of violin gang lol but I'm studying vocal performance at university so I figured I could chime in on that
I do the same thing but am 9.
5:48 I need to do this once in my life now. That seems like the ultimate level of power
It really is :-)
Yep.
Twoset: uploads
Us: happy noises
lmaoo
Just for extra info: Number 12 (the clapping) is Viena New Years Concert. Radetzky is played every year (it is the signature piece of the concert) and everyone always claps to it. ❤️
4:31 This is the New Years Concert in Vienna, Austria and it’s tradition to clap during the Radetzky March by Johann Strauss. As an Austrian I was soo happy to see that on this channel!!!
As they both were in Vienna before I thought they would have recognized the Golden Hall in Musikverein. So it is easy to guess the New Years Concert.
i also feel like every classical musician in austria has this dream of joining the philharmonic orchestra because not only is it a tradition we grow up with but it is just a really good and high quality orchestra (i'm sorry for the weird description but i hope you know what i mean :D)
Hey TwoSet! I’ve been a fan of your channel for about 7 years now, and I would just like to say that it’s awesome seeing your growth these past few years AND I hope you can bring back violin covers! 🙏🙏 seeing those videos every once in a while would be nice and refreshing. I know those are probably really hard to do and plan out compared to meme reviews and playing charades, but it would be awesome to see covers return!!
The audience clapping together reminds me of watching the nutcracker ballet and at the end during bows occasionally the audience all claps together at the sound of the music and it's amazing
10:47 It happened to my buddy once in violin. She wasn't paying attention and all of a sudden the intro to "La Cenerentola" shocked her out of her chair!😂 She got in trouble. I think she was like ten, I'm nine.
Today is my birthday and I'm so glad to see the new video! And tonight the orchestra has just rehearsed the Shostakovich WaltzⅡ , so I was really surprised when I saw the content!
9:40 that’s actually Bell Ciao, an Italian song originally sung to go against the harsh working conditions in the Italian rice fields. Later revived as an Anti Fascism Song in Italy during WWII.
2:52 oh wow the fact that he chose to apologize eventhough he didnt have to
I love how shamelessly fake that video at the end is, but once I actually did end up in a situation with strangers all spontaneously playing together at a train station. At one point we had two people playing the station piano, someone with a guitar, someone with a transverse flute, someone with a melodica, someone with a cajon drum and a didgeridoo, and a few people singing. Unfortunately, security sent us away for having too big of a set-up, but it was such a wonderful day!
Once I walked into a church, the organist didn't know I was there, and they started playing the Pink Panther theme!
At Min 9:30 it's "Bella Ciao" a popular and patriotic Song from Italy.
I was a piano student at Juilliard circa 1966. Despite having studied for exams all night my wonderful girlfriend convinced me to go to an afternoon Juilliard string quartet performance of "Death and he Maiden" one of my favorites. So there Iwas 4th row from the stage. Of course I nodded off. My girlfiend knew how much I loved the end of the end of the andante so she nudged me. I woke up to see the viola player cringing as I heard my voice echoing off the walls of the auditorium, "who, who, what what.."
7:45 Evanescence was actually my first taste of Lacrimosa...On their album "The Door"...great song.
10:30
if you ever felt useless just remember the guy in the background conducting nothing
Well he was conducting a nonexistent orchestra 😂
These lovely boys got me through covid and they still bring so much joy to my heart and the internet, thank you 2 for all you do!!!
I have absolutely fallen asleep in multiple concert halls. It's just something about really well performed live ensemble classical (and contemporary) music that makes me so comfortable and relaxed, while also stimulating my brain -- it can drop me straight into a dream, even if the piece is very energetic. And they're always the most _amazing_ naps ever. I hope the performers don't mind too much...
Note: I've never fallen asleep while playing an instrument myself, but then, I did use the phrase "well performed!" ;P
i was once at a ren faire at the guy selling ocrinas started playing Carmen and the person selling the costumes started singing along. She was really good and it was a ton of fun to listen to!
Before I even watch this video, let me just say I love it when Brett is wearing the notation shirt😍
As a music student in voice, this video made me realize how much classical music I don't know. I had heard every song, but I couldn't tell you their names or composers for some of them. You guys inspire me to learn more as a musician!
#3 will always be my favourite 😂 the best scream ever 😅
-
Also, seeing as to how active TwoSet has been, props to Editor-San for the hard work in editing all these videos! Here's a flower for you 🌻
My best friend for her sweet 16 did a 1900’s themed ball with old jazz playing, and we all dressed up in 1920’s fashion. It was so fun!
9:20 THE POWER OF THE BRASS SECTION!!
Ikr.
9:35 This is the Italian folk song "Bella ciao". The theme from Tetris is the Russian folk song "Korobeiniki" (an approximate translation of "Peddlers")
THANK YOU TWOSETVIOLIN FOR MAKING AWSOME VIDEOS.....I LOVE YOU GUYS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎻
4:35 so that is Radetsky March by [insert name here] and one of my music directors told the band that in Austria (where this was either filmed or the group is from) it is encouraged/expected(?) to clap during marches. So that’s kinda the origin of that little clip (this is all from the mouth of someone who isn’t from Austria but is very knowledgeable about music, so if this is misinformation I do apologize)
Johann Strauß Sr.
"musicians don't carry around a clarinet in their bag" just made me laugh out loud, my stepdad is a musician and plays a lot of instruments, and he ALWAYS has one or other instrument in his bag, ready to be taken at any moment to be played hahahahh
I am in a orchestra and we constantly have our own concerts with all the different "leveled" orchestra in the whole "orchestra" organization, and the most advanced orchestra performed the song where the audience is clapping yet surprisingly all of them were clapping on time and we had a very nice time.
Love your video!
Not to be the 🤓 but the piece in number 5 is "Bella Ciao", an Italian patriotic song.
Every since the first time that video with the opera duet popped up a couple years ago, I'm still just in awe of THE AUDACITY! Dude has...let's call it "fortitude" to be family friendly, here. Also, that only worked out because he didn't f*** it up, and knew the piece well. It would have been so easy for that to go wrong. I can't. The second-hand anxiety just gets me every time I watch that clip!
impulsive decision. but it got him some minutes of fame, at least
@@oxoelfoxo I think it was ultimately a net-win for the both of them, but still! Yikes! The stakes for that sort of stunt are pretty dang high!
I love Brett's shirt...so classy...literally ❤
I want his shirt
randomly started learning the flute cause you guys always say learn an instrument and that it doesn't really matter which one. I found they make a plastic flute thats really good with a low cost to enter into the instrument. so here we are now 3 months later loving having a new hobby
12:39 this dude actually just often films himself playing! and there're a bunch of video's of just kids coming up asking to play rush e, peepo being weird and sometimes jems like this! so there's a big chance that was actually real
although yeah some videos of people coming up and asking to play with him might be fake more I think about it, but I've always enjoyed them and they're still pretty cool even if it is set up to some level
Name: Emil Piano.
If it's his "thing" to go play music to tempt people to join, it makes a lot more sense why he would be playing accompaniment alone with a camera. And I'm sure he's often in the same locations, so people with skills probably seek him out to get in the videos. That wouldn't be staged on his part, just not purely organic, either.
At second place, it Was Yannick Nézet- Seguin. Principal conductor Philadelphia and principal guest conductor at London philharmonic
3:33 Sure, no problem with bringing my organ to your concert guys.
I have to bring the piano!
Re the organ vs band: I did this once with bagpipes. There was a neighbour who would play loud rock music so often and so loudly that it was really obnoxious. So I got out my pipes. Every time the rock started, I'd play the pipes. Only had to do that a few times before the neighbour got the message.
What a way to put a smile on my (and everyone else's face) early in the morning. Thanks so much guys!
When I went on my first live concert this weekend it was very funny. It was Pinchas Zukerman and he agreed on playing a little more because he got much applause. He went backstage a few times with the conductor Pietari Inkinen and when he came back he told us, I will play when you sing. XD
He played a lullaby and we all sang together. It was so beautiful and the conductor was so funny and sweet too. It was an amazing evening. ♥
Another entertaining video. Also, I'm happy for you guys & your team that you're going on Tour. I hope we get some behind the scenes videos
4:30 is like to comment on the state of elementary music and general music in some regions that I’ve seen first hand. In America and according to our curriculum students should be able to clap in time by 1st grade and it’s astonishing how this skill is just skipped over.
LET'S GO OUR VIOLIN DETECTIVES ARE BACK
In terms of singing, I would say laying down is the same as standing if you're laying perfectly straight.
#4 at 10:07 was amazing, Queen of Night aria from The Magic Flute gets me every time.
That "conduct us" tik tok reminded me of a Dutch show called "Maestro" where Dutch celeberties would conduct an orchestra and they had to follow their conducting precisely. In the first episode, they would have no experience and it's hilarious how bad it can go. Thoughout the season, they would get practice and you learn a lot about conducting and the setup of the orchestra.
The 3rd one is just so touching 😭I can feel the love
And also please come to tokyo😢
For those who don’t know, number 12 is Vienna New Year’s Concert. During that piece, the audience is supposed to clap! 😊
Won't lie, the Firebird pause still gets me to this day. Will be driving around listening to it and BANG, mini heart attack 😂
